Holidays 2006
My birthday was good. Time with my family and getting dressed up topped off with sushi is pretty much the best.
Christmas was good. Christmas Eve was weird to be without Augie, one of these holidays he will meet everyone. It was nice to see the relatives I don't see very often. Except those that ask me what my major is... for the tenth time.
New Year's was alright. I was happy to be with Augie and happy that our neighbors stopped by but we were entertaining a whiny guest who did not like much of anything.
Now we have our houseguest from Kansas City who will be staying for an unknown amount of time. He's a little bit of a hippie wanderer. Augie took him out camping for four days before school starts again. So I'm here by myself working and running errands. Besides sleeping for 16 hours yesterday, I did laundry, recycled the recycling, updated my health insurance at the health center, abolished the ants that were taking over our kitchen, and cleaned the bathroom. Exciting, I know, but someone has to do it.
The rest of the week involves taking my car to Goodyear, working, an optometrist's appointment, and buying text books.
I'm happy to go back to a regular work schedule because I'm about to run out of money and I'm bracing myself for the expenses of books, a (long overdue) dentist appointment (sans insurance), car payment, and rent.
I also need a jacket and to start my passport business.
So... New Year's. No resolutions, I never really have any. My one thought for this year is "I'm finishing my undergraduate degrees this year" which means:
grad school applications
GRE
make some good grades for the love of all that is holy...
That's about it. But what? I'm 20 years old for crying out loud. So young and so old...
I guess I will make some sort of resolution, but it's not just for this year, I want to be better about these things for good. In the three weeks I have had off of school I noticed my working out and being active has gone to shit. Possibly because I ruined any type of schedule I may have had in my daily life. I will get better about it. I don't want to be 20 and look like I'm a fat old fatty. I'm supposed to be healthy and good looking darn it. I am going to try to go to Red Light Entertainment at least to try it out (this knocks out me being a social recluse and being a fatty), I'm going to try to do something like run, ride my bike, ride my trainer at least four times a week. I'm not going to eat dessert at The Grit anymore except for on very special occasions, like a birthday or holiday. I'm giving up sweets. Oh god.... did I just say that. Ok, at least cutting WAY down.
I AM NOT GIVING UP COFFEE. No way. Not now. Not any time soon.
That should do it.
