Go 49ers!!

Jerome and I went to a Uncc basketball game last night. How sad that we both attended and graduated from there and NEVER once went to a basketball game. We had the best time! They even pulled out a win for us! We went with two teaching friends of my mothers who are in the alumni association and all and we got to eat free dinner with all the big wigs and it was just fun. The one thing I want to know is what is the deal now with college basketball teams having almost a coach for each player? I bet both teams last night had at least 5 coaches! And what made me keep laughing is that all of them are yelling at the players and you're thinking if I was a player on the court why would I even listen to 5 people screaming at me? I know this is part tradition or whatever but it made me laugh at all these grown men in suits yelling at these players who are just trying to play a little basketball. Funny stuff.
On another note please explain to me why my husband gets up every night and consumes many snacks? And please also explain to me how he can remain lean and trim even while doing this, its just not fair!! And on that note I will let the world know of my repetitive goal of this year to loose weight. This time maybe I will have the willpower.

The best of 2005 ....from my own perspective

Here is the top 10 list of events that made 2005 a good year! (they are in no particular order..)

1. I got married!! October 1st was a great day.
2. I got a new job position which has allowed me to work from home part -time and I love it!
3. We purchased new furniture for our living room and a great pub table for our kitchen from the money we made from working at the farmers market during the spring/summer.
4. Our friends had a baby and he's beautiful!
5. I managed to pull of cooking Christmas brunch for my parents complete with hashbrown casserole and baked apples and it was actually delicious!
6. We had a big estate sale with my grandparents household and from that money we were able to pay for a lot of wedding expenses. It was also a really good bonding time for my aunt and my cousin whom I don't get to see very often.
7. I started drinking coffee!! Its about time don't you think?!
8. We went on our first official vacation as husband and wife to Myrtle Beach for the weekend and we shopped!
9. At the beginning of 2005 I took my first ever sick day because I had a terrible ear infection which ruined new years.
10. We watched "It's a wonderful life" together and realized thats what we've got.

Happy New Year!!
