A “New” Year Indeed!

by The Philosophical Fish

Well, just a few things to add before the old year goes out…this one coming in is certainly sparkly and new.

A (mostly) new kitchen that just needs a bit of grout and sealant on the backsplash pebbles to complete it (tomorrow the grout goes on).

Yesterday my new computer monitor (Christmas present) arrived (30″ Mac Cinema). Now that is some sparkly new massive measure of landscape on the desk. My neck is getting a bit more exercise than it used to…all that scanning back and forth to see everything!

We are expecting the new Espresso machine (Kirk’s Christmas present) today via UPS (so who knows exactly WHEN that will arrive).

And I just got the call that my new truck is FINALLY ready for pickup! I’ve been trying to buy a new vehicle since the summer and walked away on two deals before finally making a deal I was happy with at a third dealership. That meant a pre-order and a very, very long wait while it was built, shipped, and then accessories installed to order. But I just got the call that it will be ready for pickup at 1pm today…so time to write a very large cheque and clear out the savings!

Now, if we could just clear out some of the old….like the 4runner and the MDX……

Ah, the New Year is looking bright and shiny indeed!

Yippee!
