New Year, New Look, New Neck?

It has been pretty quiet around here so far this year.  I had neck surgery.  I had a herniated disc removed and some vertebrae fused together, blah blah blah.  And, as much as I hate to admit it, it's knocked me on my buttocks. 

Around 4:30 in the morning the other night, I decided that I can either wallow in self pity, or change my attitude about this.  All I've been focusing on all the things I can't do like sewing, playing dance central, tying my shoes, etc.  I should be focusing on the things I'm not allowed to do.  Laundry, vacuuming, emptying the dishwasher, basically all the housework.  I decided to pick myself up by my green Hunter rain boot straps and totally take advantage of all this situation.

There will be some changes here.  Of course, I'm going to spend more time with my kids.  I don't think they're too thrilled about this, but I can only watch so much HGTV.  I need someone to entertain me while I sit....all day.

I'm also going to learn some photography basics.  Granted, it's going to be a little hard since I can't turn my neck, but I can read a lot.  Yay for better pictures!!

Today's project was getting this blog going again (lucky you).  To go along with my new neck brace, I'm giving the blog an update.  It's keeping me from online shopping which makes my husband very happy.

All I got is time, baby.
