happy new year!

i feel like i've been out of the loop for awhile. i haven't been posting or commenting much at all. please don't take it personally my dear bloggie peeps. i still love each and every one of you. ;-) i've just been overwhelmed. but, i think i'm back. at least for a bit.

not much to update on, really. the step-daughter is still pregnant, due in late march. she's had a rough pregnancy, poor thing. the wife and i are still madly in love. i'm still stalled with my weight loss (see my low carb blog).

i don't do resolutions, but i do have a list of things i'd like to do this year:

i'd like to craft more. i'm trying for one project/afghan square a week.
i'd like to have more family time now that my work schedule is a bit different.
i want to start cooking again. i haven't cooked in a bit and i miss it.

i always say that what you are doing new year's eve sets the tone for the coming year and this new year's eve was nice and quiet. we spent it with family. i hope that the coming year is surrounded by family indeed (i know it will be cuz wifey's family is large). however, we had guests, the teen on bedrest and the step son had an early flight to catch, so there was no drinking and subsequent nekkidness for the wife and i. that just won't do. we need to have a re-do for new year's eve now that the step daughter is off of bedrest. wifey, i'm available when you are. :-D
