I'm trying to clean everything up a bit in the apartment before the new year. It's out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new mentality. I sort have adapted Chinese New Year philosophy into our own.
So in spirit of that, I also have to clean house in my mind and air all of my grievances from 2007. I usually don't complain, and I most always try to stay on the sunny side of life. But I have to do this, then I will move on. The list is composed a’la David Letterman style.
Top 10 worst things about 2007 for us
10 — Countrywide Home Mortgage
9 — Any one that is associated with buying and selling homes. Meaning lawyers, brokers, agents, loan officers, and city municipalities that force home owners to abide by ridiculous laws passed in the middle of the night. They are all shysters.
8 — Peekskill Water Department
7 — Not getting paid for our first wedding
6 — Having to remove an oil tank from our driveway
5 — Not being able to continue our wedding project the way I intended
4 — Having my calculator (that Joseph bought for me from MOMA) stolen by a spoiled teenager, whose parents make more in one year than Joseph and I will make in a lifetime. Thanks a lot, jerk ass.
3 — Dorothy
2 — The Guggenheim won't return my calls
1 — Emily tore a ligament in her back right knee. She now needs surgery that will cost more than we have.
Thanks Ted Nugent for the title lyrics!

I like the idea of this post as going along with your other cleaning! It seems like something I do on a weekly basis.
OMG, poor Emily! Is there anything you all can do aside from surgery?
poor Emily, i hope all will be well..happy new year, xoxo
jc-everything was so spic and span clean before we went to a party for new years. we even spot painted some chip marks in the apartment.
emily is in such good spirits. jos and i knew that we would have the surgery done. she's in pain because she lifts the leg and hops. it's swollen. only 3 options, surgery, no surgery and the big doghouse. 2 of those are right out. she may get acupuncture later on. we'll see.
vedrana-i know, this couldn't have happened to a sweeter girl. she always has sad eyes but then she has a happy dog smile.
Happy new year to you too!!
Yeah, I too like how you're doing your mental cleaning along with your 'more physical' cleaning. It's good to get stuff like that out of your system!
Ooowww.....nooooh! POOR POOR Emily! That must be tough on all of you. But good to hear that she's in such good spirits. Dogs are just amazing -- and I am sure she's in such good spirits due to the fact that she's surrounded by a loving family :-) I truly do think so, PG.
Hope she gets well soon.
Bless her heart.
How's she doing now?
