nine things in two-thousand-nine
Saturday, January 3, 2009 at 5:22PM Well, it's the New Year. With only two official blog posts in the month of December it's safe to say that I was really busy this holiday season. Christmas at home was truly wonderful. My fiance is the perfect man. He made me a dvd about us getting married - if I find a way to post it, I will!
We stayed with my aunt & uncle and I was cuddled and snuggled every day by my favorite little children in the whole wide world. They got me the coolest present - my very own Black Lab Webkin!! Now, for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about - in essence Webkinz is an online pet community. Thor, the black lab, is very spoiled. I'm addicted to a couple of the games on the site so I'm building up revenue for him to build him an empire.
Now - we all know that this is the time of year where we make New Year's Resolutions. I asked Christian what his resolutions are and he said "to get married." Pfff, what a little sarcastic brat (whom I love dearly!). The following are what I consider to be my 9 resolutions for 2009 in no particular order:
1. blog more - do you like that?
2. have better posture - slouching makes for hunchbacks
3. stop cursing like a sailor - it's seriously an issue sometimes
4. run more - this would help achieve the whole (now half) marathon thing
5. stay on top of my health - this means calling the dentist on Monday
6. do something incredible at my job - get them to move me to London
7. keep my nails strong and healthy (that one's for you babe)
8. manage finances better - aka pay off my stupid credit cards... this unfortunately includes me picking up shifts at Cactus pfff
9. stay in better touch with friends and relatives - can you all remind me of your birthdays?

Well that's a lot to get going on, whaddya reckon? I think maybe one additional one would be to stay organized so I can actually attempt to achieve numbers 1 through 9 above. What is also not mentioned here is that I'm planning a wedding hahaha. Let's all laugh at me as I attempt to get through 2009 sanely.
I just asked my roommate what his new years resolution is and he said, "to save some f**king money." Okay, this was him swearing - not me already breaking resolution number 3! Oh man, I'm slouching. This is going to be a pretty impressive year if I'm able to pull off all 9.
Does anyone else ever get the feeling that there are not enough hours in the day? Or do you think we're all too quick to make excuses? I won't even try to make excuses for not running for the past 2+ weeks. I will just likely want to kill myself when I get to the gym on Monday, out of shape and fighting some stupid other new year ressie for the good treadmills at BSC.
There is still tomorrow to look forward to. Tomorrow is EAGLES playoff game number one. I still am so happy about last week's whoopin on the Cowboys and when the stars aligned to get the birds into the playoffs. Let's do this, Philadelphia.

Go Eagles!
Ugh! You are agressive. Good luck. Go eagles. Suggestion... Broad street run first weekend in may. It's a 10 miler. I did it last year with Katy winther. It's listed as the fastest 10 mile race in north America. It is also a good test to see if you can handle a half. They say if you can do 10 what's another 3.1. Talk to you soon.
