Happy 2009, Bitches

Apparently now is the time of year when I'm supposed to be making all of these resolutions for 2009. I was thinking about this today and trying to come up with some interesting ones so I could blog about them. This was mostly because I have no content here yet and I don't really want to link people to a site full of nothing. So I was really trying to think of something meaningful.

Then I realized that I'm just not your resolutions type of girl. When I decide to do something I just do it. I don't need this extra step of writing my goals out out before I start. Extra steps annoy me.

So friends, I apologize that I won't be providing you with a sappy little list of my dreams and aspirations. Instead, enjoy this list of some of my spot on decisions from 2008:

1. Decided to buy a house. Bought a fantastic little number just for me and my Bella.

2. Realized that I was unhappy and had been for about two years. Promptly removed myself from soul sucking meaningless relationship and found nearly instant happiness.

3. Saw a friend run 13.1 miles. Got inspired and proved to myself that I could as well.

4. Dreamed of pastry school so I took a culinary class to wet my feet. Not bad, not bad at all.

5. Recognized that my hang ups were causing my family pain. Renegotiated my definition of family and attempted to roll with the punches. Even though those punches included two identical little people full of energy and annoyances.

6. Continued my commitment to friendship by spending money I didn't have on trips to see my lovely soulmates. Always a good decision.
