Happy New Year to all!!! We said goodbye to 2008 and we welcomed 2009. Only god knows what he has in store for us all. Nonetheless, the year is gone and we have a new one to look forward too. There is so much I would like to do this new year. Well, I'd better hurry, because I have already lost five days. Five days into the new year, and yes, my Christmas tree is still sitting in my living room. I'm off to a great start, are'nt I? My only excuse, is that I did'nt get my tree up untill the 21st of December this year. I usually have it up and decorated by the Saturday after Thanksgiving. So who can blame me for wanting to keep it up just a little later. And besides, I'm hispanic, and the "Relles Magos" don't come untill tommorow, so there. I'm excused.
As far as New Years resolutions, I would'nt know where to begin. Of course, I like everyone else, wants to "get in shape", that's code for lose some weight. It just sounds better if you say "get in shape". Yes, I will jump on that band wagon again, and hopefully this year, that band wagon has some sturdy tires and I can get to my final destination instead of dropping me off only half way and then having to start all over. LOL
Then there is the subject of Family. I would like to spend a lot more time with my Family, not just Buddy, Kai and Nachito. But my whole family. It really hit me when we went down to Douglas for New Years. We had such a good time, we laughed so much. We went to a local dance, a dance that we used to go to every year when we lived there. It's in a small venue, it does not fit more than 200 people, I don't think. The music was awesome, but the company was even better. It was good to sit there and catch up with friends and family. And even better to go back to our roots. It's so easy to get so caught up in this busy metropolitan life and forget where you really come from. Forget where you were raised, and why we are who we are. That is what is important. I realized, just how much I miss my little hometown. The traditions, the cultural music, the cultural food, oh nevermind about the food, I have to keep reminding myself about the band wagon. : ) The food, I guess I could live without, for a while at least. Thank you to my friends and family that helped us welcome in the New Year. We had a blast, and we plan on a repeat next year.
Another resolution I had, that I have decided to put on the back burner, is getting me, my house, and my life organized. Why? Because if I try to do that, then I won't have much success with my resolution above. So if I have a few junk drawers and I am a few loads behind on the laundry again this year, it will be ok. That only means that I am spending more time with my Family and Friends. So yes, it is really 2009 and we are happy and ready for what lies in store.
Again, Happy New Year!!!
Love,
Me
