welcome to a new year
Its 2005! Whoo! Yea! Boogie down!
New Years Eve/Day was fun. My family is its entirety plus friends came to celebrate. My family always has a party on New Years eve and I was always too young to go, but this year I went and I took Loretta with me. There was food and drinks and people galore! We were packed up in my Aunt Bessie Marie and Uncle Willie's house. I stuffed myself.. quite literally. The next day my stomach muscle's ached from being stretched so far. It was also the first time I had pork in over a year and I have to say it was tasty. But no more of that for another year probably. I don't really miss it, but how often do you get home cooked food? Nope it was definately not a time to be choosy.
Why is my family so loud? Haha. See and people wonder why i'm loud and always yelling across the Pit. Its in my blood ya know? But yea. All my aunts and uncles were there, plus my cousins, and bunch of their various friends. Well at about 10 oclock Loretta and I headed back to my house. We went in my room first and surfed the net and then at 11 pm we started to watch Dick Clark's New Years Eve. We continued to eat and laugh and talk. That girl is a trip. I will never forget "spontaneous hype". There was alot of that at the New Years approached. Finally though the hour struck 12 am and we welcomed in 2005! I called Lashaun, Kathy, and Brandon (but not in that order). Kathy was in Charlotte with our mutual friend C. Lee at a party celebrating the New Year. I was happy for them. For my part, i'm not a big New Years person so after i'd made all the calls and wished everyone well I was ready for bed. I fixed my computer for Loretta and then I wrapped my hair and laid down to sleep. TELL ME WHY I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND THAT GIRL HAD STOLEN ALL THE COVER???? She had me straight freezing in my own room IN MY OWN BED!!! And then she denied it.
Saturday morning was a trip. In my small four bedroom, one bathroom house there was my little brother Edwin, Loretta, my mom, Aunt Shirley, Aunt Janice, my lil cousins Laura, Alaina, Naomi, and myself. Breakfast, needless to say was a madhouse. I ate last as always because I had to serve all my cousins and my mom and clean up inbetween. But somehow Aunt Janice, Laura, and I put together a breakfast of sausage and bacon (for those who wanted it), eggs, grits, pancakes, coffee, orange juice, and apple juice. It was nice if I do say so myself and I do say so.
Later this afternoon, all my cousins, Aunt Janice, Edwin, and I drove to Greenville to do some shopping. I went to TJ Maxx and Ross along with some random shoe stores. I wanted to buy moccassin's but I know they are cheaper in Rocky Mount at the mall so i'll get them tomarrow. Anyways though, all that and all that time spent and I only bought two pairs of jeans. Nice jeans they are, but I think I need to buy some tops to go on my body. We'll worry about it later though.
Anyways i'm sure you are all wondering what my resolutions are... so let me list them.
1. Get back into working out/running!
2. Design and stick to a study schedule!
3. No procrastination, but more organization!
4. Get a job!
5. Be more assertive!
6. Drink more water!
7. Have at least one salad a day.
8. Read at least one book (for pleasure) a month.
9. Dress to impress each day and learn that cheaper is not better.
Thats about it. I think number 3 is most important, followed closely by number 1. I really want to improve myself year to year and day to day. Resolutions can be easily broken, but the strength of character to see them through is part of the challenge. So wish me luck and welcome to a new year full of new ups and downs and highs and lows. Cya at the end!
