We'll take a cup o' kindness yet

So, I'm at work but getting ready to fly fah fah away to Chi town for to welcome 2008. Gah, 2008! Can you believe we graduated COLLEGE in 2003? Good Lord.

Do you make New Years Resolutions? Welp, I do...I make two that are really important to me then have the other "traditional" ones...

1. To "grow the hell up" when it comes to my finances. I don't mean I manage money poorly; I don't at all. But, I resolve to get a financial planner to help me figure out what the hell I'm doing with my future...and help me manage the small mansion I owe in school loans.

2. To stay true to myself. I'm pretty good about this one, but sometimes it's easy to lose oneself in the shuffle before you know it. Getting a new job this past year was a great way to "re-discover" myself and what I want from life. So, I resolve to stay true to myself, what I believe...and stand up for the same!

Okay, now for some others...

1. Travel More/Move. I realized that I'm turning 27 this year. For some reason, that hit me harder than 25, 26... I've lived here my WHOLE life. I mean...I've gotten out and traveled and stuff, but.. Well, I guess I used to want to move to escape...b/c I hated my job, wanted a change, etc. But, now, I think it would just be great to step outta my comfort zone through traveling more and/or moving. I dont need an "escape" anymore so I think moving would be for the right reasons if it happens this year.

2. Work out more regularly. I've been so good lately, but the damn ice storm screwed me all up. Here's hoping my ass isn't only bronze (thanks to the tanning bed at th gym) but also toned by this time next year...haha.. Maybe I'll become a workout junkie! Too far? Yeah. Sorry.

3. Volunteer. While this is about becoming a better person, blah blah, it also just feels good. I resolve to find an organization that I can truly impact by volunteering. I'd like to use my law license somehow to help...but we'll see.. Also, I'd like to volunteer on a presidential campaign. I've become "into" researching the candidates this time for some reason. I dont like to talk about my political beliefs on here, but lets just make it clear Mitt Romney will not have my help. lol!

Welp, leaving soon for my FAVORITE HOLIDAY!!! :) Hopefully no delays getting to Chicago! Happy New Year-Cheers!

PS..Someday I shall throw a fabulous New Years party and you shall all be invited. Also, I'm kinda into masquerade events. So, just look for masks now. You know any party I throw will have a theme. C'mon... ;)

PPS...I also resolve to like odd numbers more. 2006 BLEW and 2007 was better. So, I figure it's time to let go of the OCD a little. Yup. I even got out of bed at 7:43 a.m. (I'm a nerd. I know).
