So, ummmm... yeah

When do you think I am going to stop disappearing randomly every couple weeks? You don't know? Me neither! A lot has happened sense I last left you. Or I guess not really. Just sort of seems like the holidays are exhausting. Not because they actually are, but I think mostly because of the hype.

I've wanted to write many times. I have lots to tell you. And ask you. For some reason this has been a particularly frustrating holidays. I want to get your thoughts on change, and friendship and giving advice. We'll see if I get around to it. There will be posts forthcoming this week so check back soon. What you can look forward to:

  1. 2008 a year in review
  2. 2008 places I have been
  3. My top movies of 2008
  4. Help on the topic of vanity
  5. Help on the topic of college choices
  6. How I am arranging my desktop these days

That's all I can think of that I have been putting off and still want to get out there. Now on to the important stuff:

  • Did I have a good Christmas? You Bet! Well, it started off pretty poorly. My dad had to work this Christmas so I spent most of the day twiddling my thumbs till he got home. Once he did it was pretty great. For Christmas I got (among other things and listed in order of when they were unwrapped) a new backpacking backpack that is very light and is a fun blue color and a new sweater that is quite possibly the thickest and softest sweater I have ever had! There is something about Christmas rituals that I just love. It brings back all the other Christmases and fills me with joy.
  • What did I do for New Years? I spent it playing Risk with my neighbor David, Bruce, Robert and Keri. I got annihilated pretty quickly.

How was everyone's Christmas/holidays? What did you all do for New Years?

And finally, my new years resolutions for 2009:

  1. Take my One A Day photo everyday (except for the 1st and the 3rd which I have already missed ☹)
  2. Post 3 times a week
  3. Exercise more

What about you guys?

    I recently posted News Years' Resolutions on my own blog. Here are mine, in no particular order:

    1. Travel less.
    2. Read more books.
    3. Learn how to use makeup.
    4. Remove unwanted hair.
    5. Create a budget.
    6. Establish better oral hygiene.
    7. Attempt creativity.
    8. Read lots of criticism/reviews of YA books.

    Go 2009!
