Happy New Year!
So. . . 2008. . . I didn't win the lottery. We had some major financial downfalls. . . But, aside from that, on review. . . Things were good! I had my first big birthday party in years last year (in case you didn't know, my birthday is Jan. 4th, so it's always like a double new year for me) with the hopes of putting the bad behind me.
I think I succeeded. . . This year was a awesome year for family and friendship. I'm very blessed, I really am. And this year is winding up nicely. I got my gym membership back for Christmas. And I am loving being able to workout again, even if I'm all stiff and sore. The kids got a wii and we're ALL having way too much fun with it (I had to take a break from Rock Band because I lost my voice--um, yeah!) Johnny and I are still in love like whoa. . . Mari and I are hanging out a lot because she talked us into buying her a membership to the gym too and SO FAR she has gone with me everyday and is enthusiastic. She's actually working for Daddy for the membership and I told husbank there are worse things she could be spending her money on.
My goal for 2009 is to get fit and quit smoking. I want that smoke51 thing, so I suppose I'll have to save for it. I would be REALLY proud of myself if I could do that. I realized when I was reviewing the year that health wise I've been good. I've gotten sick a few times, but there was no drama and no hospital visits--that is way awesome as far as I'm concerned.
I've written tons and tons and that has it's own sense of accomplishment with it and I plan to write more in the coming new year.
So happy new years. If you were great in 2008 and be divine in 2009. . . I love you all. I have a firm policy of staying home for the New Years, but husbank and Mari took off to go to Ybor to meet up with some cousins in from out of town. On an ordinary day Ybor is a major partyzone and they said it's insane out there tonight. I'm hoping that they will both head home soon. MIL is having a get together and that is rocking cause her house is three doors down and I can just walk over there and Mari and husbank have to get home for it. . . Plus, I am owed a kiss, heh! So he BETTER get home!
BE SMART AND BE SAFE! Remember that no amount of drinking is okay if you are driving. There are check points everywhere and you really don't want to start New Years in a hospital or jail cell.
