Ours was extremely low-key, same as the few hours before and after we rang it in. We cooked, talked, went to Barnes &amp; Noble (one of our favorite places), had dinner at Mario&#8217;s (another favorite), I knit, he practiced his Rosetta Stone Spanish, and we slept in quite a bit. Steve is back at work tonight, so it&#8217;s just me, the animals and a CSI marathon on Spike.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m currently doing a test knit for a pair of socks on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ravelry<\/a>. Are any of you Ravelry members? Hit me up if you are! I&#8217;m <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/people\/rbf42\" target=\"_blank\">rbf42<\/a> on there.

Right now we&#8217;re really in a bad financial position to bring a child into our lives. We really want to pay off\/ down our debt, both have high[er] paying jobs, have a larger house (room for a nursery) and a few other things. Will they happen? No idea. Will we get pregnant before they happen? No idea. Will we still adopt in 2-ish years? Absolutely. Well, really no idea as it may be less or more of a time frame. Only time will really tell on that one.<\/p>\n<p>Right now I&#8217;m playing the waiting game. During the last week I have been feeling like major crap with headaches, heartburn, indigestion, nausea and sheer exhaustion. Seriously, I could sleep for a week and still be exhausted. Every time I posted these symptoms, my girlfriends would chime in about those sounding familiar. As it turns out, they are also symptoms of depression and serious under eating. I am guilty of both lately. Who knows which it is, even though I&#8217;d be willing to place a wager on the depression\/ under eating as the culprit.<\/p>\n<p>Well, tomorrow it&#8217;s back to the grind. I know I am fortunate to have a job, even though it is only a few hours a week. So, here&#8217;s to an amazing year for all of us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello my friends! How was your first weekend in 2011?
