Peace out 2008!

A new year…woo hoo! As I transferred my 2008 notes and birthdays to my new 2009 Franklin Covey I realized what a crazy year we have just been through. Some of the best happy hours, pedicures, and football games happened in ’08! Troy went to a Celine Dion concert!! And 18K+ miles later our lovely Jetta took us to some pretty fun places.

I didn’t make a 2008 New Year’s resolution. I am sure that if I did, I would have kept it – because I rock at keeping resolutions. I did make one for ’09. I am the new money lady in our house. That’s right, I am the banker. I feel like the year has already started off better under this new regime. Yesterday I came home to find the change jar out of place. After questioning my live in husband I found he took about $1 to feed the meter. After explaining that the change jar is in fact my long term investment strategy I feel like he has finally gotten on board with the financial opportunities my leadership has to offer.

What? No W's?!?

Why is it that the address of my blog has no W’s? This is sad! Does it know that I am really a mass emailer posing as a blogger? Do I have to earn my W’s? This won’t give me street-cred!

It’s kind of ironic that my first post as an “official” blogger would be at the end of 2008. I say “official” because as most of my friends and family know, I will inundate you with so many random emails, that if put together, would make a rad blog! The irony is starting a blog was one of my goals for 2008. But, as my mother knows all too well, procrastination is my numero uno gift.

Just to make sure I truly was cut out for the life of a blogger, I gave it the ‘WWED?’ test. Her response: “YES!!! Without a doubt!” So without any procrastination…here is Life in a Loft. Maybe this will give me the opportunity to share what the life of a couple kidless, petless, 1.5 house plants, urbanites is really like.
