Can you tell I've started another class?

As it's been nearly 3 weeks since my last post? Sad, very sad. And of course I am now writing this post because I am avoiding having to write a paper.

This has been an interesting week for me. Not in the sense that anything dramatic happened, rather I have just been kind of moody and I don't know why. I theorize that it's because I am in desperate need of some girlfriend time (which I am) but rather I think it's because I'm a tad bit burned out. Even though I am only 1 week into this class, it's got A TON of reading, some of which is a little challenging. Couple that with trying to memorize chorey for my classes at the gym, deal with a new boss at work, and everything else....

And over the next 8 weeks we have 2 trips to Bellingham planned, 1 (possibly 2) trips to Spokane planned, and a trip back to Seattle. We travel this much in the summer. I don't really want to travel this much in the winter as well. Ick...

Ok, if I continue on much more I fear I am going to make myself look like a whiner. I am going to quit now, and post when I'm in a better mood.

Happy New Year!

Wow, 2009 is officially upon us. What do I want to do differently with this year than the past?

I resolve to:

1. Worry less about what I think people think about me (because I'm usually wrong).
2. Spend more time finding the good in people.
3. Be a better wife.
4. Worry less about what I look like below the neck.
5. Quit taking on new projects.
6. Get rid of a few of my projects.
7. Simplify my life.
8. Balance my checkbook regularly (ya right!)

So there you go. Hard to say if in a year I can look back and check off any of those as completed, but I hope I can.

2009 could prove to be an interesting year for us. I plan on contuning to grow in my professional life, embrace a new passion at the gym, and keep plodding along with school. This will be the year we will watch several of our family and friends start new chapters in their lives with wedding, and it may be the year we start a new chapter in ours. Who knows what the future will bring.

May it bring all of you everything that is great and good.
