Happy New Year

This year, I resolve to...be better about updating this blog! I've always been a pretty introspective person but it's somewhat difficult (ok, tedious if I'm being honest) for me to commit these thoughts to writing. You're probably thinking, then why bother? Believe me, I know this blog isn't a significant contribution to...well, anything.

My friend M also maintains a blog and expressed concern about the fact that hers doesn't have a specific theme. I say, who cares! I read stuff every day - articles, magazine snippets, hell, even advertisements in the ladies' room - that does absolutely nothing to enrich my life. Sometimes you just need a mental break, a change of perspective, or in my case, an outlet. I'm actually a pretty private person and it's not in my nature to blather about myself verbally, so...it's my blog and I'll blather if I want to. Just kidding.

Moving on. I hope you all had a fan-freakin'-tastic New Year's Eve (or Day - whichever one is the more exciting at your present stage in life). Hubs and I went to a good party with good friends and had a good time. Sounds pretty good, eh?




I'm so looking forward to this year. Frankly, 2008 was getting tiresome in our house. Nothing major - no health problems or serious issues, but the bad news just kept coming and it was getting old. But as a wise lady has often told me (thanks Mama), life is a bell-shaped curve. Things have started looking sunnier, and Hubs and I are excited about that.

On that note, I'll bring this rambling post full circle: I've left my job and am starting a new one in a few weeks. In the meantime, I'm enjoying a couple of weeks of much-needed mental relaxation, and I'll definitely be more attentive to the blog. So I want to know: are you excited for 2009? Why? Leave a comment and give me some more food for thought!

I'm with the band

I'll admit it: I'm hooked on Rock Band.

If you know me in real life, you're not shocked. Especially if you happen to own Rock Band, in which case I've probably overstayed my welcome at your house on more than one occasion...maybe even after you fell asleep on your couch.

Anyway, who's counting. Luckily for those people, I recently bought my own Rock Band 2 and am proud to announce that I scored an 85% on the hard level guitar last night. As if that isn't lame enough, I'll take it one step further and admit that I created a rocker chick avatar, Mia, because somehow, I just don't FEEL like a badass playing my fake guitar sitting on the couch while wearing fuzzy Christmas socks. Mia looks way cooler than I ever will holding a guitar, plus she has awesome hair and a cute little rockin' bod.

It's all about the street cred baby.
In which case, maybe I should learn how to, ahem, learn how to play a real guitar. Some day.
