Let's Try This Again
I am rather disappointed in how little I have written over the last year. Instead of dwelling on that disappointment, I need to just get back to it and move forward. What's past is past...the present is all that I can control now.
I do have some amazing and fantastic news... on January 11, 2006 I smoked my last cigarette! That's right, after about 15 years of smoking I kicked that nasty habit out of my life. I still fantasize about my old friend far too often, but I don't go back to it. I know I'm better off without it and have no interest in enduring the pain of quitting ever again. Now that I'm at the 6 month point, I feel very confident that I won't be falling back into those old ways again.
My 10 Year High School Reunion is on the 18th. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to go or not at first. But, I finally decided that I would go because I can and I would probably regret not going. So, I'm headed up to Boston on the 13th to visit with the family and go to the reunion. There are lots of things going through my head about this event... Who will be there? What if no one I like goes? I'm worried I'm going to learn that more people have died than I already know about. I wonder just how many times I'll be asked about Dean. Will most people's stories be good ones? It seems like whenever I go looking for people from my past, the story is not a good one...which is why I have stopped looking for people from my past - it's just too depressing for me. What will I wear!?!?
I finally broke down and created a MySpace account. I resisted for SO LONG, but I finally crumbled. I still don't really 'get' it...why is this thing so popular? I dunno, maybe it'll make more sense to me sometime soon.
Our trip to St. Lucia was amazing! We're also gonna head out to San Francisco in July to visit with some of my friends. I gotta get that nailed down THIS WEEK! Dates...tix...etc.
