How is it 2007 Already?!?!?!?!

Soooo....the new year has me down. 2006 was the Year The World Flipped On It's Lid. It started just after January 1st and went totally Biazaro world from there. And now it's 2007. As I do every year, I thought I'd revisit my New Year's Resolutions from last year. THIS is what depressed me. Let's revisit...

(From January 2006) I've decided to break the chain and NOT recycle my howevermanyyearsold New Years Resolutions listed above. I'm creating new ones.....

1) Do something newsworthy. One of the reasons I don't keep in touch well is because I don't really have anything new to ever report to anyone. I want this to change. Good things, maybe yummy scandalous things...but at least something worthy to report to my friends on the phone.

2) Go out on a date. I'm resolving to only one date, because I want to be able to accomplish at least one on this list. Maybe this year I can shake the "He's not Neil" demons and appreciate someone for who they are...at least long enough to get through one date! :)

3)Be the best me I can be! And love the idiosyncratic things about me that may one day make me a great David E. Kelley sitcom! :) (I already do, but maybe accept them and not deny them is a better phrase than love them)I'm sticking with 3. I should be able to accomplish 3. Maybe if I can get through 3, then it disproves the "sticktuitiveness" thing I knew about me at the beginning of this blog. AND, if we throw THAT out the window, then it proves I can change and I don't NEED to accept my idiosyncrases, because I can change, which I think negates number 3. :) So really, maybe I'm only resolving 2 things and everyone else in the world should learn to embrace and love me for me! :) How hard can 2 resolutions be?!?!?!? Here we go, 361 days left. The race is on! :) Happy 2006 Everyone! Hope you get through your list before time runs out! :)"

Sooo....I at least did ONE thing on the list. I did something newsworthy. I bought a house. Granted, I'm not living in my house or enjoying it all that much (as most days I forget I own a house at all), but I bought one. It's newsworthy and gives me something to talk about, if I ever had time to call my friends, which I haven't. (Sorry about that.)

The date thing didn't happen. Let's skip over this one. The choices of dates weren't all that great (not that they were knocking down my door), but they weren't what I wanted. I didn't compare them to Neil, so I guess that's good, but I have a short, but non-negotiable list of what I'm looking for and I'm really not sure they make that man! :)

Which leads to 3. I think I'm worse at this now then I used to be. While I love me emotionally and personalitywise, The physical pretty much reminds me why I'm single again this year. There's not a whole lot I look in the mirror and say, that's not too bad. It used to be my hair and my eyes, skin too. All three of those things have completely betrayed me this year.

So, I thought I could handle 3, accomplish 3 and didn't. At least one of the three got checked off! So, this year, no New Year's Resolutions. No Promises. To be honest, one day rolls into the next and nothing changes. Who can even believe it's another year gone by? Happy 2007.
