This year I brought in the New Year a little differently than years past. The Boy and I hung out with his parents for the evening. We ate pulled pork. We played Clue (I won both games played, heh). We ate mocha pie. We kissed at midnight. It was a fairly quiet evening, at least compared to the bar scene which has been my usual December 31st hangout. I guess that's part of the transition from your twenties into your thirties. I just feel too old and tired for hanging out at bars anymore. I feel out of place. For the most part, I am just not interested in doing it anymore. I don't drink that much, and if I am going to do it, I'd rather do it in a manner that costs much less and where I can actually socialize with the people I'm hanging out with without having to yell over the music and everyone else. It was lovely and perfect to bring in the new year with The Boy and his family.
In terms of aspirations for 2009, I do not have many. I don't foresee any major changes. There are a few small things I'd like to do though. I hate staying stagnant. I like to feel I am evolving, growing, and improving as a person. I will probably tweak this list a little bit as time goes on to make them a little more specific and measurable.
1. Take better care of myself -- get more sleep, eat less junk and more fruits and veggies. Drink less diet coke. I'm planning to buy an eliptical machine to put in the extra room downstairs. It would be nice to have the Ann Taylor pants I just bought fit a little less snug.
2. I'd like to concentrate more on my writing on my blog. I'd like to make it a little more popular and perhaps make a little extra spending money from it -- at least enough to cover the cost of having the site! A new logo/banner for the site would be awesome. It would be nice to have visitors from all 50 states. Right now I'm at 21.
3. I'd like to use my passport. Or at least take a trip to somewhere nice I have never been before. I'd love to see parts of Europe.
4. Take more photographs, particularly of people. I do take lots of photos already, but I feel like not many are of the people that are important to me. I'd like to have more of those.
5. Save even more money than I did this past year.
6. Get my ass out of bed in a timely manner in the morning and be at work by 8:30 AM.
That's all for now. I hope everyone who comes across this page has a wonderful 2009 filled with lots of love, happiness, health, and prosperity.
