Does anyone else do this?
I go on a retail website, like LLBean or Old Navy or {insert the name of any popular site here} and click on all their wonderful stuff so it goes into my cart. I actually take a good amount of time and care making my choices. Mostly things for the kiddos, sometimes items for me.
My total reaches $150 to $200 but before I check out I purposely exit out of the website.
Why?
Because I can't actually AFFORD to spend $150 or $200 on all that wonderful stuff.
Online window shopping at it's best.

Planning a trip to New York City
Recently a classmate from my high school posted on Facebook that he was in New York. I've never been to NY so I decided I should make a trip.
I checked my calendar and February was free. Presidents Day weekend to be exact.
My friend Jennifer lives in Richmond, VA, a mere hop skip and a jump away from NY. She said if she could find a way to pay for it and get her friend Danielle to join her she'd meet me there. I also have two online friends who live in New Jersey. They said they'd meet me too.
I decided I should research my destination. Weather: Lows in the 20's highs in the 30's.
I live in N. California. 30's is not at all okay for my body. I'm going to need to buy a heavy down jacket that reaches my kankels.
I asked my New Jersey friends where I should stay. Brooklyn? Manhattan?
One says "Manhattan to be close to everything, Brooklyn if you are looking for cheaper and want to experience the subway system." I don't mind using the subway system, but how long am I going to be on that subway?
Airfare isn't too bad from SFO to JFK. I found a cheap flight thru Virgin Atlantic.
Where to stay?
So much to do and plan. Stay tuned.

Life is a roller coaster
How is it already December?! I know I say this every year but seriously, this year has FLOWN by.
2010 has been better for me than some people. I follow a few bloggers who can't wait until 2010 is over. I know I'm lucky. I have a job that I LIKE, my kids are happy and healthy. My husband and I had a fairly good year with minimal major blow ups, my parents are both healthy and my 93 year old (or is it 94?) grandmother is still with us.
In 2008/2009 I was unhappy, my marriage was going down the drain, my older daughter was showing signs of depression and anxiety due to my marriage going down the drain. I hated my job. Money was tight.
I needed a 2010.
