Where has the time gone?

Really, January 3rd was my last post? What the heck happened to the last month and a half! I seem to have started a new pattern- go to work, get home, eat dinner, go to bed. I don't know if I entirely agree with people who say that you have more energy in your second trimester. I am certainly less nauseous, but still just as tired.
This last month and a bit have caused us to rearrange and reorganize a bit. Here are some of the highlights:
We listed our condo in Edmonton for sale.
We decided to move in April to a new place in Victoria.
We went to Edmonton and Palm Springs for some family time.
Jon was laid off and is searching for a new job.
I was featured in a magazine article for giving awesome customer service.
Our cats have switched personalities.
Jon has started to do all the cooking (and most of the cleaning) so I can relax when I am home.
I have become addicted to the library and am checking tons of stuff out.
We cancelled our cable so we spend more time on other activities.
I am still doing the 52 week challenge and have been making my own cleaning products, purging extra possessions and spending more time outside.
Work has slowed down but all our lines have new products so I have product knowledge meetings almost every morning which makes for a 9.5 hour workday.
I started playing the Sims on Facebook and now remember how addictive it is.

Ok wait a second. Looking at that list I can see where the month went. It's been insanely busy and I am often too tired to function by the time I stumble in the door. I will try to do a pregnancy update tomorrow (now that I am in my third trimester and we know the sex....) I still read your blogs, but usually on my cell phone while i'm on the bus so commenting isn't as easy. I will be back in full force soon!

Resolutions?

I usually try to do resolutions but I think this year I am going to opt out and do 2 other things instead.

Number 1: I want to follow the advice of this sign. I am really hard on myself and expect myself to do more than is really possible. With a little one on the way, a move to a new home and our already hectic life I need to let go a bit.

Number 2: I am taking part in a 52 Week Green Up. It is a set of weekly challenges that bring some more green into day to day life. I already try to be green but there is so much more I could be doing and I don't want to take all the steps at once. So, every week I will try the next challenge, and i'll keep what works for us and ignore what doesn't right now. The first week's challenge is all about material possessions and choosing what to do with your time.
