New Year's Resolution

So I don't often make resolutions because I never keep them as most people don't. I thought long and hard about what to make my resolution, something I can actually have a chance at keeping. So my resolution is no regrets. I want to try to go through the year and not have any regrets. I have way too many for a 27 year old and I need to stop them from piling up. In 2007 I added a few more to my list, quite a bit more.

So I am hoping my friends will remind me when I am doing something that is stupid or doing something I will regret they call me on it. I need it, I do stupid shit. I say things I don't mean because of huge defense mechanisms I have developed over the years. That totally screwed me this year, my poor ability to not control my mouth from ruining good things.
So yea that is my resolution. I don't know if it will happen but maybe setting it will help me have less?

On a brighter note HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL 2008 already, craziness.

Year in Review

Well 2007 has been quite an eventful year that is for sure.

Started with me moving to CA to start school as we all know. Started school in January which was a good high point of the year. Eh the boy I met was a high point for a bit but as usual turned into a low point. Hopefully 2008 offers better dating for me but I highly doubt it. Sadly the beginning of the year boy was the dating highlight. Fresno has not offered much in the dating world for me. I miss dating. So most of the year was pretty uneventful. Had another bad luck with dating in April and May mainly because I am an idiot and I say things I don't mean. Oh well. Summer was decent was super busy with work type stuff and took a few trips to Pismo, Santa Cruz and Vegas. Then fall semester started and I was super super busy. Got a brief trip home in Sept, where I said goodbye to my Abby girl. They put her down the day after I headed back to CA. That was sad and was nice as it was to come home for Christmas with the new pup it is not the same as having Abby, Allie is great but she is not my Abby.
Let's see what else, had my first BBQ in October that was fun, finally got to use my yard for something. Thanksgiving was spent with my friend Kate and we just chilled for the day, which was good nothing big but fun.

I guess my year was not all that interesting. My hopes for 2008 is to get everything on track so I can apply for internship in the fall and not have to wait an extra year. Would like to meet a nice guy, I dont really think I have hope that I will actually meet a decent guy but I can pretend/hope anyways.
I also hope my bro gets into a school he wants and everything works out well for him and it is as easy of a transition as possible.

Finally Home

So first off flying with a hang over is a bad idea, and made me realize why i do not drink lol.

2nd it took me 27 freaking hours to get home. The flight from Fresno to Phoenix and from Phoenix to DC went off without a problem. However I arrived in the DC airport with no gate for my next flight, I knew this was a bad sign, so I called my mom and alas it was a bad sign. My flight had been canceled. I got to spend the night in wonderful Alexandria, VA. The I finally ended up getting home at 10am the next day. 27 hours it took me to get home.

It is very nice to be home though, a bit chilly but nice none the less!

Christmas Spirit/ Drunken Stupor

So here it is Dec 9th and I do not remember the last time I was so ho hum about christmas. I am hoping it will change when I head home for the holiday because even though Christmas lights are abundant here in Fresno the fact that it is 50 degrees and I will never see snow here makes it hard. Granted everything else here is the same, Christmas freaking music in every store and on every radio station, but there is something missing. I do like a white christmas, I do not like the temperature it has to be to have a white christmas but I do love the snow on Christmas. My mom told me yesterday she was going to go look at holiday lights but will wait for me, which is fun I do love holiday lights. As I am typing this when I should be finishing a paper I have 4 days, 2 hours and 15 mins until I am slated to touch down in CT. I am very excited for it. I do hope once my school work is done and I am out of California I will be able to get more into the Christmas spirit. Maybe being around friends and family will help with that.

On another side note, you know it has been a long ass semester when you schedule a Drunken Stupor night when it is all over. And yes I literally have written on my calendar drunken stupor with Tonie lol. We have plans to meet up Weds at 5pm when everything is done and start drinking and the guys will show up later to drive us home. I do love being walking distance to bars again for occasions like this one. So Yes my flight home at 6am on Thursday is going to be a LONG flight but it will be worth it.

Christmas Tree Lane

So my friend Kate and I deciding to avoid homework and papers went in search of Christmas lights. What we found we never expected. Apparently there is an area iN Fresno called Christmas Tree Lane. here is the site for it http://www.oldfig.org/about/christmastreelane.html

It is almost 2 miles of overly decorated houses and yes we walked it lol. We wanted to drive through but happened upon it on one of the 2 walking nights, just my luck lol. While my pics did not come out well cause I suck at taking pics at night I did get a few wicked cool ones.

Here is one I like I a lot mainly cause it looks cool not that you can tell much from it but I like it.
