Well, seeing as it has been over a year and a half since I've done anything with this thing. Now's as good a time as any. Thanks to my coworker who has totally got me in the blogging mood with her new blog - The Not So Modern Family. Read it! It's awesome.
Times certainly have changed since my last post. My body's gotten larger (along with my debt), my bank account has gotten smaller, and everyone around me is growing up. Can you believe I will be one-quarter of a century old this Februay!! I'm very excited although it is a bit surreal. I still don't feel like I'm 24. Life seems to be stuck in age 16 but everything around me is forced to age. I will say that I am very pleased with my life and how it has turned out thus far. I do not have any children at the moment but that is my choice. I cannot possibly bring a child into this world when I don't even have things figured out for myself as of yet. I know one day I will be a good mom - just not now. Still have some growing up to do.
Speaking of growing up - my best friend asked me to join her in the Great American Apparel Diet. I asked her what in the world that was. I wish I hadn't .... you have to go one year without purchasing a single item of clothing for yourself. That is such an ABOSLUTELY INSANE concept!!! Whoever came up with that obviously has not met me. Although it would be nice to have the extra money I would normally spend on clothes, I do believe it would only go towards some other expenditure. My version of the Great American Apparel Diet - do not buy clothes the months that end in "Y". January, February, May, July. But since my birth month is February I would have to swap it for another month. It would be unfair to myself to ban clothing shopping during the month of my 25th birthday! (We'll see how well that goes.) ;o)
2010 was indeed a year of first. Things I did for the first time in 2010 - snowmobile ride (through Yellowstone), kayak down a river, rode a horse, and received a promotion. Not too bad eh.
However as my titled states, this is going to be my year. Reasons to believe this -
1) My rockin' 25th birthday!
2) I have a gut feeling that my relationship with the man of life might be taking another step closer to marriage
3) Hopefully I will be able to purchase a new car
4) I have visions of being thinner and tanner this summer
5) Momma's completely cancer free!
6) I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them at this time.
I guess it's just one of those feelings. Strange as it is, I really do believe this will be an awesome year. I sure hope to God that I'm not proven wrong. I've learned a lot in the past year and look forward to taking those bad experiences and turning them into positive ones. Here's to 2011!!
.... make a wish.
