One year ends and another begins
2008 has been less than stellar, in my opinion. Family health issues, my poor daddy’s and grandma’s issues, school upsets, and other crap have messed up this year. The good things include my new adorable, spits-up-on-Aunt Robin-and-smiles squeaker (srsly, when she coos or even breathes – she squeaks! so cute. :p) of a niece – Lyra!, graduating from Texas A&M (but still not sure how ‘good’ that is. Jobless and nobody wants to hire me. Fail!), and Rose Tyler coming back to grace this universe with her presence (but went away again in a dumbass way – FAIL FAIL FAIL!) and the awesome from Disney World in January. I guess that’s the major stuff. This year fails. I cannot wait for it to be over. Thursday. I hope 2009 starts off well and is better than 2008. Bring it on!
My 2009 resolutions:
- Lose my weight and keep it off.
- Starting Friday (taking tomorrow off to lounge, shut up!) I’m dieting and working out all that I can. I want to be 180-ish by May/June. If I was almost there this year, I can do it again.
- Be more social, have more friends, possibly get a BF.
- I need to be more soclal instead of sitting at home waiting for something to happen.
- Read more
- I’ve read 13 books since January. I hope to at least double that number in 2009.
- I feel like I’m missing out on a lot by not reading so I’d like to read for fun more.
I had to go to the dentist this morning. Boo. I hate the dentist. What a way to end the year. Mom, my sister, and I also went to IKEA. My mom had to get something and I like looking at all the stuff. We’re not doing much tonight as far as festivities. Right now we’re watching ‘Elf’ on USA. It’s not really a big thing for us. We just had dinner. Pizza buffet – wonderful ‘last meal of the year’, y/y? It was good and I hardly ever have pizza so I was pleased. We usually just stay up to midnight, say ‘Happy New Year’ then sleep. Tomorrow’s ritual is eating some black-eyed peas and cabbage for good luck. I had a lot last year and it didn’t bring me much luck. So IDK how much I’ll eat this year. o_0 We’re pretty tame and I like it. But I hope one day I’ll have real, legit NYE plans.
With that said, I want to wish everyone:
I hope you guys have a wonderful and safe New Year! *hugs*
