| this is a bit much...
So I've gotten used to still being carded, etc. But today, my doorbell rings, so I answer it. The man asks me, "Is your Mommy or Daddy home?" I couldn't even respond!

| already off the wagon
So when an old friend I've seen maybe once in the past five years (I saw her recently) texts me asking if I'll be up at 4 in the morning Sunday morning, I automatically offer to drive her to the airport so she can go see her dying grandmother...Why?? Why?? What happened to my resolution?
Ways I justify this to myself:
1. Come on, dying grandmother? Who could say no? Of course, I didn't know this was the reason when I offered...
2. She was one of my best friends in high school. Of course, according to my resolution, this isn't supposed to count.
3. I want to be there for people if they need me.
So, I've decided regardless of resolution, I'm not going to turn into someone who people can't turn to when they need me.

| my godson! wow that makes me sound so old!
Yes, I'm holding him! But it was his own mother who gave him this lollipop. He actually only got a few licks in before we took it from him. And he screamed like a banshee. He was seriously angry.

| 2008
Wow, I haven't written in a while. 2008 has been weird. For the first time in at least five years, I made the conscious decision not to make any new year's resolutions. And I found myself for the first time in five years being semi-satisfied with my life with no major goals for the next year because I was happy with what just was. Being so goal oriented as I am, this was a big step for me. However...I came up with two resolutions over the last two months...one minor and one major. The minor one stems from last year's resolution to stop being such a consumer, which I think I have accomplished: I'm trying to drastically reduce my use of plastic after reading up on all that plastic in the ocean. This was definitely something I already knew about, but reading about the Pacific gyres just being dead water chock full of plastics (and seeing pictures) really made me think. I'm not cutting plastic out of my life completely but I'm trying to really think about when it's really necessary and what is stuff that I'm just going to throw away after one or two uses. I've converted Daniel too :)
The major resolution I guess is one that has been coming for a while. I always attempt something like this every year, but one day I'll be successful, I swear! Being someone who always invests way too emotionally in people, I vow this year to pick the people I really want to spend time with and really spend time with only them. I think this will really reduce the stress of spreading myself too thinly, of trying to hold on to people who don't really care or have replaced me or basically have just moved on. The psychologist at the school I work at has told me that this is a sign of being "healthy." That makes me feel better, since I always feel bad and want to stay connected to everyone, especially people I used to really care about (and still do, if I'm honest). But I've got to remember that I'm never really happy hanging out with people who I've grown apart from, and I'm not into superficial relationships. We'll see if this is the year I accomplish this!
But really, I actually started this year without my recent years' feeling of doom and boredom! haha

| so random!
I was watching the Simpsons, and they had that Tom Jones, "what's new pussycat" song in Korean...but I could understand maybe one word out of ten. It was pretty funny...the singer even said, "pussycat" like a Korean person would, "pushycat." hehe
