If 2010 was The Year of Big Changes at Chez Journey –

and it was with Engagement, Lay Off, Wedding, Unemployment and Another Corporate Job topping the list

–then 2011 is the year of New Stuff.

And I don’t necessarily mean consumer stuff.

I mean things like:

• A new call
• A consecration
• A new house for G’s DS2 & DIL
• New carpet and flooring and such for G’s townhouse (ok, that is new consumer stuff) (the house is going on the market ASAP – even before DS2 & DIL can move out, if possible)
• A new front/side garden here at Chez Journey (pics in another post)
• New knees for G (august 1)

and last but not least…

• A new baby.

Oh, calm down! It’s not me. (Thank goodness! I’d need to be sedated for the next 18 years) It’s G’s DS1 and GF. Due sometime around December.

And yes, I realize that means I’ll be called Grandma (or some variant thereof) in 2011, and that’s another new thing.

Holy crap.
