Well Hello 2007

Well hello there. It's been awhile hasn't it?

Remember all the hoopla back in 1999 about the year 2000? A friend of mine was so paranoid that she filled her bathtub with water "just in case"

It's been a crazy couple of weeks. School ended, I got sick, a blizzard swept through town which resulted in the city coming to a screeching hault, an 11 hour trip to visit the boyfriend's family for Christmas, another freak snowstorm, work, work and more work. School starts again in another week and I'm bummed. The break has been nice but not nearly as relaxing as I had dreamt.

Plans for 2007?


I'm still hoping to lose a little weight. I quickly (and way too easily) put on 10 pounds when I started dating the boyfriend. You know how it is when you first start dating - everything revolves around food. Dates include dinners, food is an easy excuse to get together, etc.
Combined with my new t-tapp book, a great instructor at the gym, and a bet with the boyfriend, I will win uhm...er... I mean lose. (the bet? We've both put on the same 10 pounds, who ever loses the least has to buy the winner new jeans!)

As well I'm planning to pay off my debt. Courtesy of the divorce and the ex's crazy spending habits I was left with a little over a million dollars in credit card debt. I'm close to paying it off and by the end of this year, it should be gone. Gotta love Dave Ramsey.

Speaking of the ex - I'm planning a summer trip with the girlfriends. At first we had our sights set on NYC, but have decided on the Pacific Coast instead. We'll be stopping in my old town to visit another friend who is there attending graduate school. Last night as I was laying in bed, the thought "what if you run into him AND her while your there?" crossed my mind. I'd punch them both in the face, followed closely by slitting their car tires, and setting their hair on fire. What? That's not what you would do? Chances are slim that I'll even see them, so I'm promising myself to let it go. I'm not about to pass up the opportunity of seeing both Seattle and San Francisco again because of an off chance I'd run into that loser.


Here's to a great 2007!
