Is it really 2009?!?!?!?

2009, that just sounds so... distant. Remember the whole Y2K Bug thing?? Was that really 9 years ago??? I only had 2 kids, and our Y2K bug was a sickness, nothing techie at all! Christina and I were both admitted to the hospital the day after Christmas and we all spent New Years huddled in our bed while applying cold compresses all over Michaels body to try to get his 104 temperature down. Wow, I can't believe that was 9 years ago! Well, I have heard so many people say "Let's hope 2009 is better than 2008." It seems to be a common feeling that many are happy to see 2008 go. I am curious what 2009 will bring. I am not big on making New Years Resolutions, although this year I may have a couple. Should I share them? If I do, will they not come to pass or... If I do will it force me to be more accountable? Well, I will share one or two.
First and foremost I want to RESOLVE this insurance thing that is hanging over my head! I am STILL compiling my list of items lost in the fire. I am at 23 pages and the list is still growing. I just received a list from the insurance company a few days ago and they have 715 items listed. (not sure where they got their list from, but I will be finding out soon) Unfortunately NONE of our furniture is on the list, so I am left to believe it is from the lists that were compiled back in CA through Custom Restoration (our friends that really helped us right after the fire). So, my first resolution is to get the insurance claim resolved. Then I can go shop for furniture! :)
Next, I want to be a more healthy person. I do not like to cook. I have no idea how to prepare a nutritionally balanced meal. So, I want to learn more about that and also try cooking. Wanna share any good recipes?? I NEED good recipes! (Oh, add that to the insurance list... all my recipe books) Yes, I did own quite a few recipe books, I just never used them. Along with learning to cook and eating healthier, I WILL exercise!!! You hear that world?? I WILL exercise!! I starting walking soon after we moved here, and then David started working nights and I sorta stopped. But, I have started again.
That is all I will share for now. I don't want to shoot too high and fall flat on my face. I am interested to see what 2009 has in store for me and my family. We made a lot of changes in 2008, major life changes, and we are very happy with those changes, so I am very excited to see what is in store for us. I can only end with... NO, I am NOT pregnant!
