Gotta be thankful you're alive and well this beginning of 2005 when 150,000 people just lost their lives in a freaking strike of mother nature. And not to mention that my grandpa passed away two years from today....
So I should have no room to complain that I was "stuck" in Maui with my family and grandparents for New Years Eve....I was gonna be sad if I wasn't gonna be able to see the ball drop, but low and behold, 5 mins before the ball dropped, we finished up our card game and turned on the good ol' boob tube. Its funny how alone you can feel until you turn on the TV and see all the kids partying in Times Square and something about that makes it a little better spending new years with your parents. I am sure I didn't miss anything exciting back home or in Chico either. BUT...I am sad that all the holidays in my life have somewhat 'lost' their excitement. You are only this age once and I feel like I am prematurely being aged into the pattern of life where celebrations are no big deal and I am not ready for that transition yet, and I shouldn't have to adapt to that until I am at least 30. Haha...
So we figured out today that I am one "score" years old. A score is 20 years if y'all didn't know...
As for those New Year's Resolutions:
1) Excercise at least 3 times a week.
2) Eat healthy (uhh..more fruits and veggies please and no more Costco food!)
3) Stop swearing
4) Be a "better, whole" person...that one is kinda up to me, so you don't really need to feel bad if you don't know what I mean...
And with those go a few more personal ones. But we'll see how much I can stick too...I am really gonna try HARD! I need to prove to myself that I can do at least ONE of these things!
I miss my friends and my roomies. HOME ON TUESDAY!!!!!!!! I love you and Happy New Year!
