I have to say 2009 was fuckin fantastic for me.
I met my wonderful boyfriend Eric who has been there for me and encouraging me to do what i sometimes dont want to do. He is my inspiration and keeps me moving. If it were not for him i would probably still be living with my mom and still addicted to pot and ciggs. I would be completely unmotivated and still fat. I probably would have never got a job. He has introduced me to a ton of new people who are freakin hilarious and are a lot of fun to party with. I love Eric to death and owe him a lot. He's an amazing boyfriend and a fantastic friend. He's so caring and is always there when you need help or support. He is truly magnificent!
I lost 50lbs, I quit smoking. I have been wanting too for a while but i have not had the motivation to. With a little help and encouragement from Eric i was able to quit cold turkey. It helps tremendously to be around non-smokers when you are quitting. I feel so much better not needing to get high and not having nicotine fits.
I moved out of my moms which i have to say was one of the best decisions i have ever made. I love her but i'm sick of taking care of her.
I had a job that lasted a couple months and thats the problem with temp jobs, they only last a short amount of time. I'm glad i got a job though, I needed something to do and some money of my own.
Celeste and Tyler got married! I wasnt invited to the wedding but then again no one was. I'm really happy for them and know they are going to last. They are a great couple.
I have tried to stay creative by knitting things for people and drawing for them. I got a lot done and like always gave a lot of it away. I got a few knitting magazines for christmas so maybe i will try some patterns out of them soon.
I there is much more to be excited about but this blog is supposed to be about 2010.
Its hard to have a new years resolution when last year went so swimmingly (I think thats the first time i've actually used that word in a sentence).
This year i am going to get a stable job so i can get my own apartment and spoil Eric even more than i already do. I am going to lose 20 more pounds by changing how i eat (and how much i eat) and working out regularly (i have been slacking). I am going to bring Eric to Tawas so he can see the house and complain that the water is too cold to swim in. :p I am going to read more books (hopefully i can get new glasses soon to help with the reading). I am going to start my own little garden (even if its indoors in potted plants). This year i am going to take charge of my life instead of watching it happen.
I avoided saying i want to do these things because that only makes me feel lazy and like i will not succeed. By saying that i will do them i feel more confident about it and it reassures me that i can do it. I know I will get great encouragement from Eric and his support really helps. I hope you all have a wonderful new year and do the things you never thought you could do.
