january - gonna c&p for the time being. dweeb.

it cracks me up that sev of my friends are considering ending their lj. i was thinking the same thing. my best friend as a kid was a stationery geek, and she would buy new journals all the time without ever finishing the ones she had. she liked starting anew. i didn't understand then, but i sort of understand now. it's empty now, but i started a blogspot - since i'm a google maniac. maybe it's a good time to move..or is it? i hate that i have abandoned blogs all over the place.. okay, am i sounding wishy-washy? ugh, i'm a dweeb. all my future bloodline will get to read about their dweeby great great great great grand joo :P. whose thoughts are all over the place. and they will wonder what's up with my two spaces after a period. i learned to type on a typewriter. it is true. it's habit.

so my january: we continue with being sick. sickness is not productive. ugh. yeah, i have this dislike of winter. well, by 2/7, winter is half over, so i have that. (then i rub lemon juice in the wound by looking up weather in hawaii.) not as stuffy now...i am able to breathe through my nose at night, and that is quite lovely.

we did see my inlaws the 2nd january weekend. sean had fun with opening more gifts. extended christmas, woohoo!

our tree snapped during the snowstorm and landed on our cars! yikes. you gotta believe in guardian angels, tho. the tree fell away from the house. it didn't hit any other cars. we were able to get the cars out, and all they have are scratches. rob did a lot of lopping. then our neighbor came by with a saw. and then an electric cutting thing - it looked small like an electric knife - think thanksgiving turkey ;) a beautiful thing - never underestimate electricity. :b the snapped part broke off and rob got out of the way in time. everyone is safe. thank you God! so it turns out that bradford pear trees have a reputation for breaking in storms. tree service ppl finally came - pronounced the tree dead, and took it away. wow, the yard looks different. we no longer have the biggest tree in the neighborhood.
