It's a time of firsts in my life.
This is the first time I have ever been engaged.
I also saw Andrew for the first time in two years. It was an odd feeling, but good also. I didn't know if he was alive, dead, or somewhere in between. I still care for Andrew as a friend and have often wondered about him. Now, I know. It seems Andrew likes status quo for he is nearly the same.
I will have my first pool table in my house. Eric received one from his parents for Christmas. A very welcome gift in Eric's mind. I was asked if I had room for one and I laughed, saying yes, we probably have room for three. I told this tidbit to Eric and he said, "Awesome. We could have pool tournaments in our basement." Um, no. We won't be.
I kissed someone at midnight for the first time in three years. It was nice to celebrate the evening, even if low-key. We spend the night in our basement playing games and then watching the ball drop.
I used a snowblower for the first time. I have not yet mastered straight lines, but in due time. Maybe not. I still don't mow straight. It's more out of overcoming boredom than it is out of being a poor lawn mower.
I have finally, for the first time, come to the realization of how important it is to have a winter survival kit in the car. I still don't have one, but I know it's important now. Baby steps, you know.
Another new item, I found a great clearance sale at K-Mart. This usually doesn't happen. The item usually ends up being more once you get it to the register than the tag stated.
So, what is new with you and your lives? Oh, and I have no New Year's resolution. I can't stick to anything. I'm just going with the flow. And that flow cleaned my kitchen, finally. So, perhaps the flow works.
