two thousand WHAT?

wow. another year has gone by already? so weird. i am getting so old, i feel like such an old lady sometimes. an old lady that stays up till 3am and has dance parties with her friends. hahaha.

so.... new years eve. as usual, it was... interesting. i am usually working or snowed in with the family in colorado or something like that, but this year i was home and completely available so i was forced to come up with some actual plans. shoot. what am i going to do with myself, i wondered.

well, i kept coming up with ideas and they all kept falling through. that always seems to happen to me, its really frustrating, but oh well, that's life.

i decided to stop trying to make big, exciting plans for new years eve and instead to just hangout with my dear friend sarah. so that is what i did!

we didn't do anything super exciting, but i had fun! we went to this old people party and had dinner, played a little trivial pursuit. it made us feel like ignorant fools, but hey, thats always fun, right? "what is the capital of Tunisia? i dont know... i've never heard of it!" great way to begin a new year. ha.

so... we went back to sarah's around 930 and ate snacks and listened to old records on her freakin cool record player! it was great! we had a dance party to the beatles, simon & garfunkle and cat stephens. it was fantastic.

i decided to be a party-pooper and head home around 1130 since i have to work in the morning... or in a few hours. haha. but ya, i was going to try to go to bed early. it was worth a shot, even if i failed miserably.

anyways, i was in my car driving home when the clock struck 2009. i believe i was belting out "City" by Sara Bareilles right around midnight. its a good song. a little sad though. not sure what that means. hopefully it doesnt mean this is going to be a sad year. i am all for the happiness in my life.

well, 2008 was a little bit of a roller coaster... i'm hoping that 2009 will be full of excitement and adventure and joy and hope and accomplishment. Dear God, give me a purpose this year and make me strong enough to fulfill it.

the end. or.... the beginning.
