I can tell you that every time the New Year rolls around I get sort of antsy. I have never had a New Year to write about… wel,l there was that one time, that I had an IV in my arm and all my friends called to say how much fun they were having. I think there was something also there about them missing me, but I could have added that part to make myself feel better.
Ok, now I have to check myself. I have never had a really bad New Years and for those that I have spent a New Years with, please forgive me. I would never want to hurt any ones feelings its just one of those things… The thing for me is I try and not look forward to anything- that way I do not have to be disappointed when things are justalright.
I have had lots of surprising times that were so much fun, that they, in fact, changed my life. All of those were times in which I had no foresight that they were coming. I guess the question there is, was it more fun because I wasn’t expecting it, or more fun because my expectations did not get in the way.
Last night was a lot of fun, but I had to chose who I was going to spend it with. Because I have lower funds, I chose the one that was closer to my house. I had fun and it would be greedy to ask for more, but I missed my other friends.
On New Years day I started to make my list of things that I wanted to do in the next year. The idea was to have some items that cost nothing and most of the items be things that I haven’t done in awhile or new things. I hope to blog about them each once I have done them. But I now can’t find my original receipt. But here goes some:
1. Go Hiking- If you want to know I cheated a little. I knew that I was going the next day, but I am going to keep this on the list because the trails were closed yesterday, because the Ike destroyed most of them.
2. Go Kayaking down the Buffalo Bayou
3. Go on a short road trip
4. Go Gambling- actually this one was added by my friend
5. Water Activity on Clear Lake
6. Visit another church
7. Go to a mixer Downtown
8. Go White Water rafting- I haven’t been in years.
Then, there are also things that I have wanted to do that are more personal. But I am not done with that list. Since I take it more seriously I focus on things that mean more to me. For example: I want to do something with my music, but I cant decide if I should start taking guitar lessons again, write a song, or find somewhere to perform vocally. All would be challenges… and I cant decide which would make me the happiest. (Funny how I know that I will have to have things set up to make me happier, because I know that troubles will come.)
Another goal that I need to figure out, rather soon, is to plan where I want to live next. It is time for a move… but where? Across town or across the country. Any suggestions?

I think you need to move across town. Do NOT move across the country. Unless its somewhere cool that I can get a cheap Southwest ticket to come visit. Then we’ll talk about it.
Oh, and what’s a “mixer” Downtown?
And I call BS on “The thing for me is I try and not look forward to anything- that way I do not have to be disappointed when things are justalright.” Cause yes you do get your hopes all up and look forward to things! You just WISH you didn’t!!!
Luv you!

You are right about the statement, that is what I meant you just worded it better.
And a mixer is for us single people to get together and hang out with other singles- mixing it up! (get it)
