Back to the Grind

Today is my first day back to work since before Christmas. I've had pretty much nothing to do all day here at Time Out. Things are always so damn slow at the beginning of the year. Why is that? I guess people are still out of town or something. The train wasn't even crowded this morning. I was so bleary eyed (I'm not use to waking up early) that I got off on the wrong stop and had to walk a bit. Luckily one of my nifty Starbucks gift cards woke me up.

I've been trying to jumpstart the year already. I've sent out a bunch of emails today to get on lists for concerts. My friend has informed me his wedding is in The OC (as I like to refer to it) on Feb. 9th which means I have to purchase a ticket. I don't have any money and flights are really pricey right now. Sigh. I guess I have some time to buy a tix. I'm trying to figure out how much time to spend in CA. The wedding is in The OC but I also want to spend a day or two in LA. I'm definitely going to the beach when I'm out there. Huzzah! Today, I also sent out some resumes looking for a part time job. I seriously need the money. Oh well. Something will come along. Hopefully. I hate being poor. One of my goals is to not be so poor this year.

So, my New Year's Eve was pretty good. My friends and I went to three parties. I tried to fit in another but there wasn't enough time. I think party hopping is the way to go on New Year's. It doesn't cost much (except for a little cab fare), the trains run for free, (although we had to walk half an hour in the snow to one train stop which wasn't smart for me since I was wearing a skirt and no tights), and there's unlimited booze. Something good happened New Year's Day which definitely made me feel optimistic and happy about 2008. I see it as a good omen. It's like that saying however you spend NYE or New Year's Day sets the precedent for the entire year. I'm not really sure what that means, though. I just hope I can keep the positivity up. I haven't started my Fat Flush Plan yet but I'll get around to it. I really want to be healthier this year and more fit. I want to do everything better in the new year and reverse the things I did wrong last year.

I think I'm going to go home and watch movies tonight and try to read my books. I need to do both more in the new year. And just get it together in general.
