Happy New Year

So today is New Year's Eve. Time to drink. Time to celebrate with your friends. Time to be with those you love having a good time with. So let's take a shot. Play some drinking games. Kiss someone on the new year. Laugh hard and drink harder. Be merry and have the time of your life because it's the last day of 2008 and you need to make it count.

New Year's Resolution

So it's almost that time of year again. Time for New Year Resolutions. What's yours? According to the news, the number one resolution this year is to get out of debt. The second is to lose weight. So when you make your resolution, how do you make sure you stick to it? I would think that getting out of debt would be a bit easier to stick to than losing weight.
I don't make a New Year's Resolution for the sole reason that I know I will not stick to it. It's not that I don't want to. It's that I lose interest and get distracted. I can't even remember the last time I made a resolution. I gave up on them a long time ago. Kudos to those of you who make a resolution, stick to it, and see it through to the end.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas.
It's that time of year again. I love it. One of the best holidays. You get to be with your family. It's snowing. All the delicious food. And of course, presents. If I were religious, I'd also include that it's Jesus' birthday. And it is, however, I'm not religious so it doesn't really mean very much to me. Of course, if it wasn't for Jesus, we probably wouldn't have a Christmas. So I guess I should include him.
This time last year, I was driving on the interstate, coming from Boise to my parents' house in Bloomington. And around the Pocatello area, it was blizzarding so bad that I couldn't see the road and was driving about twenty mph on the interstate. I stopped in Pocatello at a gas station and called my parents. My mom told me to stay in Pocatello because she didn't want me driving. I refused because I wanted to get home. So I kept driving and luckily, after Pocatello, the weather was fine and the drive was perfect. This year, there was no blizzard. It was windy in some places and where there was wind, there was sometimes ice. So it took me a little longer to get home, but much better than last year. So I'm thankful for that.
I do wish I could spend the holiday with my man. But he came home with me for Thanksgiving, so I figured for Christmas it would be ok to go our seperate ways. But now I'm lonely. I miss him. Especially sleeping alone. It's weird. But we planned on having our own little Christmas at the apartment with Trevin when I get home. And plus the weather there isn't so great; hello, winter storm warning! So I'm worried about him driving to his parents' house today, especially because it's a canyon-type road for about twenty minutes. And his car isn't the best winter car. So I'll be worried part of the day until I hear from him that he made it. But then I'll be worried again when he drives back home tonight, when the weather will probably be even worse. Ah the joys of winter.
So the best Christmas present ever was recieved by me. I got my computer back. Thank God. It does suck because I have to redo everything. New picture. New programs. Downloading everything back on. And then saving it so I won't lose it if my hard drive dies again. Of course, now I can rearrange everything better and it's not so crowded. But it will be soon.
I forgot how annoying ten-year-old girls can be. Especially an only child. Yes, yes, I know, I'm an only child as well. And I was ten once. But I have confirmed more than once that I was quite a bit more calm at that age. Different personalities and such. But my God. I can't decide who is more work : a ten-year-old girl, or a two-year-old boy. Because both are difficult. But ah, family.

Happy days ahead.

Wow. I haven't blogged in a really long time. Of course, my very good reason is that I have no computer. I've been going to the library on my days off from work which are far and few between. I've also been using a friend's computer occasionally when I need to upload pictures. Note the word in that sentence "occasionally." Both of those mean that I have very little internet time therefore, no time to blog. Sad, I know. How else am I supposed to express my thoughts and bitch about nothing in particular? I don't. And that has to be unhealthy. I mean really, you can't just let that kind of stuff build up inside, right? Right. So here I am, sitting on my friend's floor in between my man's knees, blogging while I wait for my underwear to finish in the washer. My six loads of laundry are the only reasons why I have the time to blog. And now, after months of not being able to blog, I can't remember all the things I wanted to bitch about. Damnit. Well here's some good news : I will be getting my computer back during Christmas at my parents' house. My hard drive crashed back in August and since then, it's been hectic. Like I said, library and friend's computer. Well my dad bought me a new hard drive and I'll have an almost new computer. Sadly, I lost everything. All my pictures. All my writings. Everything. So I have to start all over. Which sucks but then again, will be interesting. The great news is that I'll be able to blog as much as I want again! Happy days ahead.
