Running Out of Time!!!!

AHHHH!!!!! There is less than one week of break left and I haven't accomplished half of my goals. I just bought my books for next semester the other night, which is always fun. I just love when one professor requires 5 different books for a stupid cognate course that isn't even in my major. Stupid liberal arts requirements lol!!! Anywayz this break is going by way too fast and between working small amounts and planning the shower and hanging out with my friends I feel like I haven't had more than five minutes to just sit and chill. I did manage to read 3 books over the break, but I started my 4th book this week, The Thornbirds, which I have no hope of finishing by next week. It's like 700 pages and I have like zero free time between now and Monday when I move back to Stockton. The wedding is like 120 days away and its sucking up all my time already!!! Today we accomplished a lot though. Karen got bridal shoes and we looked at China patterns. China is an odd thing...you never really use it, you're always afraid you're gonna break it, and there are like 3 million different kinds and they all look exactly the same...yet picking the right China pattern is a huge deal! I just don't get it lol! It's funny how the little shit turns into a big deal sometimes. Now I'm being a mo and trying to make a huge list of all the stuff I need to handle before heading back to school while I paint my nails and lounge in my footie pajamas!!!! That's right they make footie pj's for adults and santa/ mag got me a pair and they are heaven!!!! It's like being a kid again =)

Where did the time go???

Holy crap its 2007!!!!! Where did 2006 go??? While laying in bed today taking my post-party nap I was thinking about the past year. People always say you should survey the previous year and see where you went wrong and what you can do differently the following year. The only problem is I had a hard time remembering what the hell I did all year, and then I realized that in itself is not a good thing. I know in reality I did a variety of things....work, school, hung out with friends etc. But I guess I'm a little saddened by the fact that I didn't do anything extra special that really stands out in my mind. To make this long story shorter, I have decided that I have two resolutions this year. My first resolution is the same one I make for myself every year and I think in recent years I am actually getting better at keeping. And that is to stop sweating the little things in life. Getting all worked up about stuff I can't change is just too much stress and I don't need it! Also to expand this resolution for 2007, I'm going to try and always do what I truly want to do and not be fake. I'm so tired of people being phony or feeling like you need to be a certain way to fit in and I think that is ridiculous. I've decided for 2007 I want to be more like one of those people who does exactly what they want to do and doesn't give a damn what other people think. After giving this part some thought though I realized this could turn me into someone cynical and uncaring so I will only do this in moderation.
My second resolution and the reason I wrote this now very long winded blog in the first place is because I want to do several memorable and important things this year. So I've decided every month throughout 2007 I am going to do something I have never done before or something important that will benefit other people and/or society. I haven't yet figured out what these 12 or so things are going to be, but it's only 1am on January 2nd so I have 364 days to figure them out!!!
