Wow! Happy New Year?

Seriously??  It's 2012 already?  Where did 2011 go?  I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday, both Christmas and New Year's.  We sure did!  Santa was VERY generous again.  I need to remember to tone down my "Santa" shopping for Punk this coming year.  I went a bit overboard.

2012 proves to be a good year.  Lots of plans in the Miss Punkie Pie household.  First - a full kitchen remodel.  Hopefully to be starting SOON.  We need to clean out part of our garage so that the new area of my kitchen can get started.  Then walls will be knocked down in the old kitchen.  Super exciting.  But.  There's always a "but", isn't there?  Construction Man told me last night that if my car issue (my car is making noises) is in the transmission and not the wheel assembly (whatever that means), my new kitchen is on hold for a little while.  Here's some praying that my car issue is NOT in the transmission!  I've waited a year for this new kitchen and I WANT it!  Everything is all picked out.  Just need to get going.

Second - we are DISNEY BOUND this year!  WOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!  I can't wait.  And SHHHH!  It's a big secret!  Amelia has no idea.  We will be telling her in August at her birthday party.  We're going in October.  Again, it's all planned out in my head.  Just need to meet with the travel agent.  There is an agent in my "local" area that deals only in Disney travel.  We're going to make an appointment to talk to her, find out our options and book it.

Third - Amelia will be starting 2012 with GLASSES.  Yes.  She needs glasses.  She's actually far-sighted.  Has issues with "focus" sight.  She's been complaining off and on that words are "fuzzy".  I made an eye doc appointment and they got her in during the week.  The doctor seems to think that she may still outgrow the eye issue as her eyes mature.  If not, she could need them for reading the rest of her life.  No problem.  She picked out some very cute purple frames.  Pictures to come once the glasses come in.  AND she has her 1st loose tooth.  She's patiently waiting for the Tooth Fairy to make her appearance.  We told her the Tooth Fairy was on vacation until 1/3 so her tooth better not fall out before then.  LOL.

And lastly, I did some shopping for myself.  A little "Merry Christmas and I got a new job so I can kinda afford it now and you can't hassle me, husband" type of thing.  Wanna know what I bought?  Welllll, you're going to have to come back and find out.  :)  When I have it in hand, I will show you. 

Happy 2012!
