So far so good, I think. We contacted the guy that did the ceilings in the rest of our house to come in and do our kitchen. He stopped by yesterday and gave us an estimate. It was reasonable enough and we hated doing the one ceiling we did enough, to go ahead and hire him. So we should have a new ceiling within the next couple of weeks!

Resolutions
So, I'm a little late...but I've been under the weather a bit and sitting in front of the computer just didn't sound like much fun.
Anyway, its the time of year for resolutions. I think this is the first year I've actually given the whole list making process some serious thought, maybe because I've grown up a bit the last couple of years and I have higher expectations of the years to come.
The first list deals with the house. Its pretty big, but its also pretty basic. I didn't really want to go into too much detail because it would have been depressing. Basically its a list of everything we want to accomplish this year on the house.

And of course there is my personal list. Woohoo. I'm hoping that if I share it, I'll be more obliged to keep to it.
- Lose 30 pounds (this should have happened LAST year)
- Get my real estate license (this also should have happened last year)
- Get a job. Don't get me wrong, I love being a stay at home mom, but a girl needs to get out of the house sometimes.
I'm pretty sure there was more, because I was thinking about it a lot. I just never sat down to get it all down on paper. So maybe I'll just add to this list as I think of things.
