Aaaand… January.  How clean, and how fresh you sound.  I’ve been working full-time since the Tuesday after the last post— for a month there, I was doing 12+ hours overtime— each week..  At just the right time, overtime is ending, and I’m trusting that God is going to provide in another way. 

My lover has just brought me hot cocoa in a new white mug with the word “hope” on the front… with the largest marshmallow I’ve ever seen on top.  We’re watching the end of “The Biggest Loser” together, like we used to do 2 summers ago when TV took up an incredibly unhealthy amount of our time.  This time, it’s merely nostalgic.  On a related note, I’ve lost and kept off 10 pounds!    2 more, and hopefully I’ll run the Cleveland Half Marathon again, 10% lighter.

Anyway, an entire season flew by, but that’s not super surprising.  This one flew by particularly fast because I worked about a month away.  With the new year, solid changes are making an impact on our lives.  Ben has seen a doctor and is seeing a specialist tomorrow, all thanks to Obamacare!  I’m hopeful for wellness in 2011.  Ben has also just been employed by Office Team, the temporary employment agency that I’ve worked for since September.  We just cleared out our spare room, and my mom gave me a sewing machine for Christmas, which I’m hopeful will be an integral part of this year.  My first probable nephew is going to be born mid-February, and I want to spoil that babe with kisses and soft things that I will hypothetically make for him.

I hope 2011 brings a new routine to our home, and hopefully a double-income, for at least some time.  That’s basically it.

And omg, next weeks’ Big Fat Loser (as Ben endearingly calls it) looks to be pretty exciting!
