I haven't posted in forever

It's not entirely my fault. I wrote this really great post a week or so ago and then my Internet connection died just as I was posting it. Doh. So then I got annoyed for a while and didn't feel like posting. But I'm back.

Been a crazy few weeks. The post I lost was all about the adventure I had at the hospital on December 27. I had to have a minor surgical procedure, which itself went well, but I must have had a bad reaction to the anaesthesia because after the surgery I went to the bathroom and after sitting on the toilet, the next thing I knew, they were picking me up off the floor saying, "You passed out!" I then spent a few hours alternately throwing up and sleeping, and then had a crashing headache. By that time they had decided to keep me overnight for observation, and then I got a CAT scan for good measure, just to make sure I hadn't sustained a concussion when keeling over off the toilet onto the hard tile floor (I hadn't). I got to go home the next morning and I looked a little battered - cut on my cheek, bruises on my chin and arms (one huge gross one that was so yucky I got the nurse to cover it with gauze), and just feeling generally lousy. I spent most of that day in bed, and then the next day we had 30 people in our house for a huge 60th birthday party for my mom! It was fun but it was kind of exhausting especially after that ridiculous ordeal.

But I'm fine now. All better. New Year's Eve was quite wonderful, partly because I was so happy to be saying goodbye to 2007 and partly because I got to spend the evening with my spectacular husband. We got a sitter for the girls and we went out to a fantastic French bistro dinner including champagne, oysters and fabulous food. Then we wandered around the city until the fireworks over the Delaware River, which were beautiful. It was such a special evening.

So now here we are in 2008. I realized today that what I hope for this year is not ecstatic happiness or towering riches or anything to excess. I just hope for progress and contentment. That is my hope for this year. I do not make New Year's resolutions, so I have none of those, but I wish all of you the same good fortune for this year. (Also thanks again for hanging around my blog. It's nice to know the three - or so - of you are out there.)
