No More Bean Car

Well, that month went by fast. I think it went by even faster than December. Either that, or I just went through one heck of a time warp. I guess maybe I just needed a little bit of a blog break.

Let's see updates....updates....

• Work=busybusybusybusy. I think I'm getting a little more used to the volume/ pace of work in the clinic setting. Either that, or I've just figured out how to deal with it a little better. Either way, it's still way more ridiculously busy than I ever would have imagined. It's just as stressful as working in an ICU, just in a different way.
• I wonder if I will ever figure out a way to have time to check blogs/ personal email while I'm working... I'll get back to you on that one.
  
• It's been at least a month since I've read anyone's blog and that is a little sad to me. I'll try to do better I promise :( What do I do at night, you ask? Catch up with DD, help make/ eat/ clean up dinner, do laundry, watch the designated TV shows (no DVR=little TV flexibility), fall into bed, repeat the cycle. Damn my life is exciting.
  
• Social life=busybusybusy. Every weekend there is always something fun going on and for that I am extremely glad and happy. It's good to have so many awesome friends.
• In general, content with life. Still have goals to work on...have done a little more research...will get back to you on that when the master plan has been formulated.
• And the latest news is that my poor little bean car is officially dead. I finally took it to the body shop yesterday and I got the call today that it is officially totaled. Time to go car shopping!

That's all I got for now...hopefully more will be coming sooner than later.

2009: So Far So Good

And once again I have managed to survive the usual Christmas mayhem that ensues around this time every year.... it was getting a little dicey there for a minute! I got to visit with all of my immediate family members in one way or another-- as always, it was very busy, but very nice to spend time with everyone. And the best part was, I was very generously given gift certificates for two massages this year-- I can't wait to cash those in!

I have not had much time yet to reflect on what I did or didn't accomplish last year, but I realize that I've lately had a rather pessimistic attitude toward life. It is my goal to leave that behind in 2008. That is one of the greatest things about starting a new year-- the prospect of being able to start over again, the opportunity of a fresh, new beginning.

I don't have any specific resolutions at this point in time, but there are several goals in my mind that I would like to start working towards. One thing I know I need to focus on is to not let my long-term goals get lost and pushed away by doing the small chores that I must do day in and day out. Somehow I need to regain my focus and make a reasonable plan on what I would like to accomplish this year. Otherwise, it will just never get done. So perhaps my resolution should be to make some resolutions?

I guess my brain is still a bit mushy from the cheer of last evening. All I know is, I rang in the new year by spending time with the best group of a friends a girl could ever ask for. And for that, I am happy and grateful. So far, this year has gotten off to a great start :)
