Oh, bye 2010!
I don’t know why I’m so awake. I’m sure I could lay down and pass out but that would entail moving all the clothes and stuff off my bed first- a task I’m unwilling to approach. Cherry and I left IHOP at about 6 this morning and I waited in the Walgreens parking lot for 35 minutes until they opened so I could pick up my photos from Christmas and New Years. I sat in my car and organized my CD and my new purse that James’s mom bought me which I love Love LoVe. I’ve already gotten a handful of compliments on it =)
It’s finally time for me to leave PetsMart. With the closing of 2010- a stagnant and tumultuous year- I have high hopes for 2011. My new year’s resolution is no more pets. I can hardly afford the 17 that I have. Well, 16 since Cherry took Trevor last night. This is going to be a year of school work, vet clinics, and budgeting. Long live efficiency and progress!!
For a year that had insignificant Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas holidays, 2010 had a fun and easy close on New Year’s Eve. I enjoyed the chill Santa Fe air, the bonfire of burning wood and chairs, the drunk people throwing fireworks at other drunker people, the old and new friends, and the sweet boy I was fortunate enough to enter the new year with. I watched the ball drop in Ross’s living room with a red Dixie cup of champagne in my hand. Lil Wayne performed a song that I saw the first part of before everyone moved outside to set off fireworks, including Ross’s firecracker-chasing chocolate lab, Astro. Aside from Seth’s drunk friend who kicked over the keg in a fit and almost got punched by James for not recognizing personal boundaries, the party was comfortable. Terry cooked wings and burgers and Ross lit off the huge fireworks in the backyard. James and I talked to Michael and Cody a good bit, who StIlL are not calling themselves a couple? It’s been a year… and neither of you are seeing anyone else. You are a couple. I sat on his lap by the bonfire and the chair didn’t buckle or anything =) Neither of us drank much after James’s crazy rum binge two nights prior…. =P
Happy New Year, guys. It’s going to be better than the last.
