Get a pool?

My kids want a pool and with tax filing coming up soon, this would be the time to get one if we are going to get one.  I was looking at a pentair pool but I just don't know.  I've never owned a pool before.  How much work are they (keeping in mind that we have several Maple trees in our backyard)?

Pool or vacation?  A pool all summer long or a trip to the mountains for a week?  Decisions, decisions...

Who took their Christmas tree down already?

We took our Christmas tree down.  Honestly, I am ready for it to come down the day after Christmas but the kids wanted it left up longer.  I think most people wait until after New Year's but not me, not this year.  I want room in my living room to celebrate New Year's - dancing, playing Wii with the kids, etc.  It's packed up awaiting next year.  Yes!

Going Camping

Who camps?  Can a 40-year-old woman who has never camped, who is afraid of spiders, who gets itchy when gnats are around, put on a backpack and go camping? Silly me actually brought the idea up with my husband a few weeks ago. No power?  No problem - don't need a curling iron or hair spray.  I do need an actual toilet though.

It's something we are going to try in the spring - right when spiders are waking up. Oh joy. Sometimes I need to learn to keep my mouth shut.

Burn the Ex's Papers?

We have about 1-1/2 years left until my husband's legal relationship with his ex ends and boy are we ready! There will be a party and a bonfire (to burn all those years of documents/contact).  I've thought about using document imaging software to save important papers, and we may still do that, but for most of it - huge bonfire in the backyard. HUGE!!!

Hopefully, she'll be able to see the flames in her state!  Bring on July, 2013.
