HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I'm very excited about the new year. I think that 2003's going to be a very exciting, interesting, dramatic, intense, and oh-so fun year. Stay tuned....
I hope everybody's New Years Eve was fun. Cuz mine...wasn't. I was baby-sitting. Which I don't mind at all, because KiKi is broke--damn Christmas! So yeah--I spent the night with 2 highly energetic, talkative little boys. One wouldn't stop talking and one was sick. (Hmmm....I'm wondering if this is the reason that I now have a headache at this very moment. Hahaha) It was cool, though. We watched a lot of Sesame Street and Nickelodeon. Then I got to see the Osbournes episodes that I'd missed due to finals and projects. Hurray!
So I can't really complain about my New Years Eve. It could've been worse, I'm sure. I was watching the ball drop in New York. I swear to GOD I'm going there one year. I will. I swear. Maybe even next year. Who knows? The possibilities are endless right? *grin*
I've been thinkin' about resolutions. THE quintessential thing for the beginning of a year. I'm all about them. Not the cheesy "I-will-lose-10-pounds" kind of resolutions. I'm all about the kind where you help yourself out and improve who you are as a person. Not that you shouldn't make the lose the weight resolutions, but don't just do it cuz of society--do it because you WANT to. You DESIRE to be healthy--not just have a size 0 waist. Mmmk? OOOK.
So yeah--I've come up with some resolutions. Here goes.
~Learn to budget better: I like to spend money--it's fun. I'm a girl, shopping is in my genes. I know my limits. I also know that I have a non-paying job and that I'm in college. I'm supposed to be poor. From now on, I will NOT eat out 5 times a week. Cuz that's what's really been sucking up a lot of my money. And I will balance my checkbook instead of being oblivious to what my balance may be. (I really don't like knowing if I'm teetering into the world of brokeness. It's not fun.) I will save money this year. No more broke Krissy!!!!
~Don't take anything for granted: I should be grateful for everything and everyone in my life. My life is amazing, I love it and everything about it. I don't think that I tell people enough that I love and appreciate them. That's gonna change. To all my friends and family: I love you all dearly and I'm really happy that you're a part of my life. Mwah. I'm going to take time to appreciate everything from now on.
~Repair (or attempt to repair) my relationship with my Dad: This is probably the biggest one for me. I've spent a lot of time and energy thinking about my Dad lately. I've forgiven him, there's no doubt about that. Now I'd like to have a positive relationship with him. I want him to be a part of my life. I'm going to go and visit him and lay all my feelings out for him as soon as I get back to campus, hopefully. I'm emotionally drained from this, but I know that it's the mature thing to do, that is IS indeed for the best. I'm willing. I'm just wondering if Daddy is. (Stay tuned for this--really. It's gonna be one hell of a rollercoaster.)
~Work on the whole procrastination thing: We all know that I'm the biggest procrastinator in the world. I'm gonna work on that. Any help anyone could give me here would be GREATLY appreciated. I need all the kicks in the ass that I can get. *grin*
~Be bold: I am already I know. This is just a friendly little reminder to myself keep going with that--say what I think, do what I want, don't act like a floormat EVER.
~Try new things, expand my horizons: I want to try something new AT LEAST once a week, whether it's going to a new restaurant, watching a movie that I may not normally rent, reading a book that I've never read before, whatever. I have a HUGE list of things I want to do before I die (or get married) and I intend to cross some things offa that list this year. YEAH.
~Get un-addicted to caffeine: THIS may be the impossible one. I adore pop. And coffeeshops. And green tea. I might not be able to accomplish this goal, but I'm gonna at least try to cut down on caffeine.
I think that's about it. It's a good list to work on I think. Yeah....and it's not like I don't work on self-improvement all the time. I'm forever coming up with resolutions--it's a year-round thing for me.
What I wanna know is if anybody else has put some thought into resolutions. My sister looked at me like I had 3 heads when I asked her that earlier today. :P
I'm excited about my new layout. I think it's sooo pretty. I adore Ever After, it's SUCH a good movie. Ever since I put the layout up I've been wanting to watch it. Too bad it's in my dorm room. Boo. But at least I got a kick ass new layout. Jimmy was getting a little old. This is a good change for the beginning of a new year.
I should jet and do something of importance, like my scrapbook or something. Once again, happy New Year! Mwah!
Ciao, dahling!
