oops.

I promised myself I would write regularly. I am slightly disappointed, given I haven't typed in a month. In my defense, I declared my 12 days off from work internet-free (save for online bill paying).

New Years was pretty sweet. It was for sure better than last year, but anything would have been better. A lot of my wonderful friends attended the party. I noticed the next day that it was tamer than last year. Most were sleeping or had gone home by 3am and there was a lot less clean up. Guess that means we're getting old?

Now, here we are on January 26. The first month of 2009 is almost over. Time flies when you're busy.

Busy or not... I'm definitely trying to focus on the positives for the next few months. So many weddings. Figuring out my finances so I can save more money and actually put away for retirement. And vacation... dear God I need to get away... I once promised myself [note: I make a lot of promises] that I would not go more than a year without a vacation involving a plane ride. I have until May to get my ass in gear. I'm thinking that it won't happen. Hello terrible economy... and not getting a raise... *double sigh*

I shall leave you with an interview of my favorite tv personality: Anthony Bourdain. He's the man. When I met him, I told him that he inspired me to travel and try new things. I don't know if he realizes that I was pretty serious, but it felt good to meet my idol.

Out.
