It's been a wonderful Christmas here in Kansas and I'm glad to be home. The past year has had its ups and downs and here I am again thinking about the new year and what is in store for me. I think in past years (including this one) I've always thought that things would come to me - you don't have to go out and find them. So, yes - I've spent several days/nights waiting for something - and finally in the past couple of days...after talks with my closest friends and family - I am now committed to stop waiting for things. I need to generate my own life and not wait for someone else to catch up - if that makes sense.
I think that in my homesickness and missing of friends - I've let myself off the hook as far as being the "independent woman". I've counted on those two things to reason with myself that I don't need to be doing anything. I can't just remain idle until something pops up. I guess I'm tired of waiting and have decided to resolve that I need to embrace my independence and take on whatever is out there to see and do (in moderation, of course!). So with my new digital camera in hand and a new spirit to enjoy the life and situation I'm in...here's to 2008 and my to do list...whether the items are completed by me with my friends/family - or just me. And I'm asking my loyal readers to keep my honest...as my postings should be more about my explorations than my eyebrows. :)
Prosit Neu Jahr!!

Hope you have a great 2008! Looks like you have a fun list of places to go next year--you could put Madison on the list so you have another place you can check off :) Hopefully we will be able to come up there and help check off some spots; maybe not Oprah (at least not me, maybe Katie...).
I swear, one of these times we will go to Goose Island with you!!
Uh. . we'd be up for a Wrigley game. Maybe in April? Where's March Madness?
Great seeing you and I love this attitude!!!
Mitz-hund, you totally need to hyperlink all those cool places you've been to. Especially the Lavazza store. BTW, the espresso is great these days.
Hey Mitzster! It was great having you here! Thanks for coming up! And btw, where's the City of Angles??
