2006... YAY it's done!!!
Oh. My. God.
(ok... I seriously could have gone with the rest of the "Baby Got Back" Lyrics but summed up 2006 was no less than a serious let down.)
For starters I don't really like resolutions... I never tend to keep them, or remember them for that fact, and if I do... they last a week at best. And I think that it's been the same for the past bazillion years... be a better person, improve the flaws and mend the wounds.
One word will describe you 2006, you SUCKED. a major disappointment, you seriously let me down.
Ok 2006 started with me sitting on the couch in the living room of my parents house alone, wanting to watch the ball drop... and I missed it because I either a) fell asleep or b) was watching something on some other channel, I believe it to be the latter, but seriously this is how ravishing my social life is... my phone did not ring once that night. Horrah. It was nice really it was but with the 2007 New Year celebrations fast approaching, I seem to be finding myself again with no plans, but this time my mom wants to stay home, so that means if I am a boring individual with a rapidly diminshing social life, at least I'll be in the company of my parents.
.......too bad I don't have a boyfriend...... HA
Welp, 2006 didn't really start off with a bang, though it did start off with a hefty price tag of $700 for my textbooks, outrageous!!!! I seriously think that I cried.
I also was basically pushed in head first in to being a student manager.... In the words of my boss I was apparently trying tooooo hard. WHOOPS, thanks for the guidance Trish.
I got a C in Algebra!!! Horray no more extremely nasty math (unless you count accounting... i still have to take that... booooooooooo)
I got an amazing pay raise and a brand new boss. which made work wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better. seriously. (I'm starting to wonder if the Feds' raise minimum wage, where my wages will go?)
I seriously think that those were the high points.
oh... and I turned 21 and I didn't actually step foot into or purchase alcohol until October, I didn't even have a party, because no one wanted to party with me...
2006 was also really hard on my emotions, 3 people near and dear to my heart left this world to go someplace better. from my favorite professor who was not only a mentor for me but someone that I truly admired, and so did everyone else apparently, since his funeral ended up being standing room only. an old friend, and she was not old by any means, barely 21 and only married for a month, she was killed in a car accident, I see her husband everyday up at school, and there are days that I just want to hug him and never let go.
My Grandma, this is probably the most personal for me, obviously, she was the first actual family member for me anyways that I saw on a semi-regular basis die. She was old and sick though but it was still incredibly tough, and I guess it still is and probably will always be, she was the only grandmother that I ever met.
The rest of the year was a blur, filled with a few trips to the bars for dollar drinks, marching band, and we're going back to Pasadena!!! Not to mention a 15 million dollar Union remodel get injured by a burst pipe.... wow that was AWESOME. I was laughing so hard, but I don't think that we're going to let Steve ever again be in charge of a disaster call to those who need to be on the scene. i swear he was just speaking in mono-syllabls, come... quick... water... black... everywhere... 2 days before our amazing president Peggy retires.... alot can get done in 12 hours
I should make a chart of my 2006 emotions... it would have peaked in August when I finished Algebra forever, and when the pipe burst in the Union, the rest of the time it would have been a multitude of zigged and zagged lines....... wow, i'm pathetic
Which basically brings me to Christmas, and now.... oh wow, look a year went by so fast.
My grandpa is fairly sick and frail, we were all a little tense about him coming for Christmas, I'm really glad that he did come, and mom he didn't ruin Christmas, just made it interesting as they always are.
Christmas at the Cady's was pretty sweet, a tradition that is always been apart of my life, and seriously it should stay that way forever!!! (ok , i know that it's going to have to be altered eventually but it still should be close to the same)
Baby cousin Devon was also a joy, his Santa's Helpers PJ's that had a button butt were adorable and just watching him I could already tell that he is going to be one hell of a Cady just like the rest of us!!! and he REALLY REALLY like my necklace, and it wasn't long I made a mental note NOT to wear a long one, but for some reason he tired to suck on my necklace while still around my neck, proceeding to choke me, though the puppy mittens were a hit!
My sister took a bazillion pictures, find her live journal...
It's really amazing, I know that somewhere in my heart that Devon is a part of grandma. I seriously will always believe that. and it wasn't quite the same without her and her nagging and complaining, but I know that she's in a better place and I hope that she's with her husband Maury, whom she was angry at for so many years because he left her.
Anywho, I got bascially everything that I wanted and then some (the then some including 25 dollars from my other grandpa. it's complicated, but really was so awkward)
Back from shopping with the folks, found this awesome paperclip holder it's a sink and the paperclips are water droplets, what can I say it's corny but the store that I found it in was incredible. I'm so going back.
All and all this year made me realize that some things aren't meant to be and what are, are absolutely worth fighting for, tooth and nail.
thanks guys it's been an awesome year! (retrospectively speaking)
