You be the prince, I'll be the princess
Happy New Year, bitches! I am ridiculously more excited about it being a New Year than I was about Christmas. My Christmas was turned upside down this year compared to what it's been like for the past seven or eight years of my life. Not going to lie to you, it was difficult. Even though I was with my grandmother, mom and little sister, Christmas day was sad and lonely. But I survived and that was more than likely the only year it will be like that. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Reading through my friend list, it's easy to get envious of all the cool pressies. But alas, that's not what it's about. I got three gift cards (two from bosses, one from my dad) and a candle. That's about it...but for me, honestly, the best presents I received money couldn't have bought. I ended the wretched 2008 happy and got to spend 10 days in Texas seeing almost everyone who is special to me and for the first time in my life, spent an evening with just my brother and sister and their families. Sure we were playing drinking games all night long, but that's what older siblings are for...getting you into hot trouble.
So let's talk about what an amazing year this is going to be! BECAUSE IT IS. The executive decision has been made by me (and others) that this is the Year of Nikki. I started this shiz off right, that's for sure. My NYE was the best I've ever had. With 24 hours to go, no one wanted to make a damn decision on what we were doing. So I made one for us! We headed over to the Americana in Glendale where our friend, Paul, lives and rang in the new year with all you can drink and all you can eat sushi. I was with my two best LA girlfriends, we looked amazing, I felt great and lord knows I loved me some sushi and watermelon cucumber mojitos all night long. It was fabulous.
I've been pondering what my Resolutions shall be. Getting my finances in order is definitely number one. One day when I grow up, I'd like to own a condo or house and that ain't gonna happen if I don't start working on things right now. Other than that, I don't know. I'm back on Weight Watchers AGAIN and I've started working out regularly, but I don't want to make those resolutions, those are just things I have to do. So I am going to take a few days to think about this, then I'll back to you.
Until then, I wish you a very happy and healthy 2009. I've included a few more NYE pics after the jump, but there are a ton on my Facebook should you wish to take a gander!
