January Blues

Winter brings a change from the oppressing heat of summer. We also get most of our water during this season as well. (I live in a desert.) But Sometime this season gets so depressing! We get very little sunlight and it's too cold to spend much time outdoors, unless you ski or snowboard, but I don't have the knees for that anymore.
I know we need more snow. We haven't gotten nearly enough. (People in the Eastern US, send us your snow!!!) I'm ready for spring to start. I know I've still got two months or so, but sheesh! I need some natural happiness around here already!

Also, work and family events have become depressing because of people being pregnant. No one tells you how hard it is to conceive and how discouraging it is when nearly everyone around you is having babies. Not to mention that some people are extremely insensitive about prodding you, "When are you having kids?" "Are you planning on kids?" "If you wait to long..."  I might just scream at the next person who "lovingly" asks when we're planning on having kids. We're trying. It's not happened yet. Get off my case.

To those of you who have been patient and understanding, you are awesome and we love you.

Happy New Year!

That last month flew by. But we had some excellent things happen. My hubby got a job! Christmas! And I survived all the parties we had to go to!
We played card games with my parents and their friends for New Year's eve. We also enjoyed some yummy snacks and got rid of the rest of our ham hock and bean soup. (Which everyone complemented us on. Thank you Allrecipies.com.)
We're not completely out of the stressfulness just yet, but things are definitely improving. It's nice to have two incomes again. It was very stressful to do it all by myself. I'll have to remember that.

We've been dreaming of a new car again. Not that there's anything wrong with our current one. (Well, besides the little odd annoyances. But what vehicle is without those?) We were looking at the Chevy Cruze.
But then we were looking at the Spark and liked it too.

I guess it really depends on how much leg room there is in it. It says front leg room is 42 inches. It's a 4-door and the back seats fold down to give more cargo room. And we'd probably do the lime green. :)

Not that we're planning on getting a car anytime soon. We're just dreaming.
