Happy New Year!

i wanted to wish everyone a happy & healthy new year!

i hope everyone has a lovely time bringing in the new year... let's hope 2010 is a million times better than 2009!

this year we are bringing in the new year in New York City at an Irish pub with the snow & rain and awaiting patiently for my broken zipper on my dress to be fixed so i can go out and party.

I am actually really excited for the new year... i have never been to the city to celebrate, and this year just plain sucked, so i am hoping for 2010 to be a little better... although I really dont want to be writing the date like 1/1/10 it seems so odd. lol..

So here's to a brand new year and a fresh start. Out with all of the crap that happened this year and bring it on 2010!!!

Bringing in the New Year With Friends in NYC

I literally cannot wait to spend New Year's Eve in New York City with my best girlfriends --minus Cherrie :( -- It would have been AWESOME if she was there. Literally. But I have to deal, and it'll be Me, Spanky, Micher, Lori & i think that is it for now. My brother might show up but I'm not sure.

I have never once been in New York City for New Year's Eve and I am SO excited to do it! I always knew I would one day but no one ever wanted to go with me. My dad gave me the opportunity because he got a hotel room for my brother and I in case we wanted to go. That is AWESOME. I want to be that cool for my kids!

We are going to an Irish pub and have open bar from 9pm-1am for $55, which is a really good deal considering my brother found an open bar for $100. Plus staying in a hotel room in the city is AWESOME in itself because you can see out over the city and its just simply UH-MAZING!!!!!!!!!

I am excited to spend New Year's with them because last year I was so upset that T had left me (randomly might I add since he told me a week before he was going to Africa for ONE MONTH) for that night where he didn't think it was a big deal and I thought it was a huge deal. So I went to HIS friends house with HIS friends, and granted, I was friends with them too....but it wasn't the same.

This year, I will be with MY friends, where I want to be, in a place that I want to be at! I am excited to start off the New Year in an exciting place, with friends I love. Considering that was the complete opposite of last year, do you think that means 2010 will be better than 2009?! Because I really HOPE SO!

Sooo... we shall see!

Ugh... I feel so bad for her.

6 month check-up

Naturally Nina had a great post about her goals for 2009 and it is half way over, so I should see what I have accomplished this year. I really hope I have accomplished something...
My goals post

2009
1. Get a new and BETTER job. Still Nothing -- didnt realize how hard this was going to be!

2. Go on 2 big vacations. Costa Rica (i am already going :) and Europe. Plus California and New Hampshire. Done!! Costa Rica for 11 days and Peru for 14 days!! No New Hampshire yet, but hopefully soon.

3. Move to a bigger apartment around September; and/or different state and get a PUPPY! Well... no puppy in the plans, moving is, can't get into much detail until later but this is in the works.

4. Pay off one my Juniper credit card. Not even close. Due to the fact that I am making 1/2 the money I made last year.

5. Take the GMATs so I can finish applying to Baruch. I will not be going to Baruch. I finished applying to Mercy and will continue to take classes there for Education since I got into the Teaching program

6. Get an article published in a magazine. Not yet, but I have been actively blogging and have almost 100 followers and people who read what I write! That is amazing in my eyes :)

7. Take and conquer and online writing class. Once I acquire some money, I can focus on that.

8. Go sky diving. Nope.

9. Lose 15 pound. YES!!!!! I HAVE OFFICIALLY LOST 15 POUNDS!!

10. SAVE MONEY!!!!! Nothing. Not one freaking dollar.

11. Control my shopping habit. I have definitely. I do not buy or shop anywhere close to as much as I have in the past, and I just buy things I need right now.

12. Spend more time with my ladies and my family. I have not, friends yes, family no. Family I will be spending more time with quite soon.

13. Acquire more fashionable pieces. I got a new Kate Spade bag and some more pants and skirts from BCBG and Banana Republic/Express... so.. i guess you can say they are fashionable. lol



NEW 2009 Goals to be completed:

1. Be happy.
2. Get out of the rut that I am in.
3. Stick with my blog and continue to grow it everyday and eventually publish something now that I know people will actually read it!
4. Move.
5. Continue with my teaching plan.
6. Quit Smoking.
7. Find the independent woman I once was and bring her back.
8. Make a good career move.


Wish me luck. That shit is difficult!
