Happy 2006!!
Happy 2006!!
Thomas had to work all weekend, but i was lucky to have Firday afternoon off. We had lunch together and then I cleaned house.
Kathleen came down on Saturday and we went to Macon to spend Christmas money.. It was a lot of fun, but there were a few weird people!
We got back to the 'Ville and ate at Applebee's where yet another weirdo was our waiter... so for you Kathleen ... "Alriiight..."
We took Thomas his dinner, and then went to Wal-Mart and finally made it back to my place. We rang in the new year with Dick Clark and then heard my neighboors having a party... so I went down to say hello. They were all drunk and kept asking why I didn't join them earlier... I let it be known that if I had received an invitation to the party, I would have loved to be there. But anyway I went back to the house and Thomas called me to wish me a Happy New Year... He couldn't call me at midnight because he was handing out the first and last speeding tickets of 2005 and 2006! Kat and I stayed up till forever and kept checking Jon's Moblog for pictures of Adam and Cam's wedding!!
On that note... Congratulations (for Kat... Congrads!! ) to Adam and Cameron on their wedding in California December 31st.
So we finally went to bed and woke up on Sunday to fix cinnamon rolls! Yum! We talked about weddings and other things.... and then she left about 2ish.
I took a nap and then got up when Thomas did.. he left for work and I worked on my checkbook and paid bills.... later I fixed dinner for us. A typical southern New Year's Dinner too... pork chops, collard greens, black eyed peas, cornbread, and cheddar-broccoli rice (cause I didn't have any mac&cheese). I took dinner to him... then I mentioned i wanted to see Memory Hill cemetary... (it's really old). I wanted to go then because it was foggy out and somewhat spooky.. so I followed him and we drove through the cemetary... this was at 10:30pm. It was awesome...
I wasn't quite ready to go home so I drove through Milledgeville.. which looks like a ghost town this time of year... with my window down, heat on and music turned up. I don't know why, but I love to do that on occassion. There is something about doing that, that makes me really happy inside. The song I listened to was Sugarland's "Just Might"... I posted the lyrics a little while ago.... it really describes my life and seems to be my theme song at the moment. God knows if Thomas was not in my life, I would have no direction.
That brings me to something else... (sorry this is turning into a book... but I never write) I don't know what I want to do with my life... I take that back. I know what I want to do with my life, but not for a career. i just spent 5 years of my life getting a degree in something that is totally interesting, but I don't know what I want to do. The only thing that I know is that I would LOVE to work for the American Red Cross, or as a Director of Volunteer Services at a hospital.. or as an educator at a hospital teaching CPR and stuff like that. But how to I get to that job? Where do I start? I know that I want to work in the medical field, but not as a nurse, or a secretary... maybe a Radiology Tech? =Back to school in Macon... ultrasound tech? = Back to school in Atlanta... healthcare Administration = back to school in Macon, but kind of work is it? I just don't know what I want to do.. and I really feel like a failure. We just bought this beautiful house in Milledgeville, and the job market for things I might want to do isn't great. I don't want to spend years and years going from job to job finding things I don't want to do! That doesn't create stabilty at all. But how do I find the perfect job that pays enough to survive? Thomas loves his job, and we love our house, so moving is really not an option at this time... I feel like a failure... I know that many people don't find the job they want as soon as they graduate, but at least they know what they want to do and how to get there, right? I know what I might want to do, but I don't know how to even put one foot in front of the other to even try to start getting there! And if I were to get that job... would I even enjoy it? Would it be what I wanted?
Oh well.. the new year brings new opportunities... a chance to start new things and a chance to improve. Improvements need to made in the way of my health, and new opportunities will come in our marriage in just a few months. I believe that 2006 will be a good year, and I hope by starting the year with that in mind, it will bring good things to our lives.
Best wishes to all of you in 2006.
