Happy New Year to all of my loyal blog readers and to those of you who google searched your way here!
As is customary, I have made a New Years Resolution (just one) and will share it with you now:
To make 2009 Awesome!
I have made this a resolution because, to put it mildly, 2008 sucked. Hard. I shall list a few of the reasons:
A. Identity theft struck again
B. I got the flu, thought I was better, went back to work and then got the flu part two. Nice.
C. Had some problems with some people that I don’t want to get into in the blog but suffice it to say, they were not good times, took many months to resolve and still aren’t all the way fixed.
D. Michigan had the worst football season in it’s history.
E. Our favorite broadway shows closed. Rent, The Color Purple, Title of Show and The Drowsy Chaperone.
F. And I stepped on a rock, sliced my second toe on my left foot so badly that I lost the toe nail and it’s still only 3/4 of the way grown back.
These are just some of the reasons for Making 2009 Awesome!
Now, dear reader, you may be thinking that this is a little vague and may be easier to accomplish if it were a bit more specific. To which I happily reply: flashback with me if you will to…
My 19th birthday. Year 18 had not been so stellar for some reason and so when I blew out my birthday candles at The Briggs house that fine St. Patrick’s day, I actually made a birthday wish/plan to make 19 The Best Year Ever! And it was. 19 kicked ass! For serious. And so you see, a simple and vague wish/plan worked before and I have every confidence that it will work once again.
So, here’s wishing all of us, but me specifically, a much better 2009 than crappy, poopy, sucky 2008!!
P.S to Meghan- this was pre-written and scheduled to be posted this am at 0315. When I got your comment, I went online to check and it said “scheduled for 01/01/09 – missed”. uh, what? maybe wordpress had some sort of y2k computer problem on the 1st and forgot to post my blog. Sorry there was nothing for you to read this morning at work, I know how you love it.
