In case I hadn't told you all yet... this December 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28th will be spent in San Francisco, California! I'm going to spend most of Haunakah and all of Christmas with my best friend Tom. Tom's super cool because he has red hair and works for
Facebook! I clearly can't wait to get there and start taking pictures, eat falafel, drink lots of wine, freeze my ass off, and be thankful that I don't live in San Francisco because of all the insane traffic. :) There are only 11 days left of this crazy year, and I'm really ready to put this year behind me and move forward. It wasn't all bad, and in fact for the most part I'm really glad I went through a lot of what I was put through this year. I definitely feel 9240298402384x smarter than I did last year. I am ready to be back in the working mode that I was in when I still worked at the Spa (Exhale). Having a full-time job really puts a lot of structure in my life. The kind of structure I need to hold it together at the level I expect from myself. All in all, I had a mediocre year. I met a lot of people, but I've managed to hold on to a select few. I almost died in July, however I pulled through thanks to Baylor Medical Center of Grapevine & the Grapevine Fire Department. I got a pitbull puppy (Louie) even though Jerry said I couldn't have a dog (hehe). I bought a new car (2007 Chevy Cobalt 2-door). I'm dating a guy who is 10 years older than me, is covered in tattoos (sleeved on both sides), and has three children (ages 10, 7, and 3). But most of all, I think this year I really learned to begin to appreciate my body. Most times I'm overly critical of my appearence and my expectations are often unrealistic. I finally can look in the mirror and be thankful for what I have (sometimes). That's a huge step in the right direction I'd say.
