My Own World

While thousands of Americans were out last night partying and drinking themselves into oblivion I was in my apartment rocking my 4 month old nephew asleep. I was planning to text message all of my friends with my New Year's wishes and the other yada yada and in the middle of bottle feeding and diaper changing I looked up and the clock read 12:14am. I completely missed it. I felt a little disappointed. I guess I will always have next year. If I could I would have skipped 2004, it was just filled with the worst kind of heartbreak and frustration, with the exception of the news of my sister's pregnancy in January, my graduation in May, and my nephew's arrival in September. I really need to start fresh, thank god for the new year.

My nephew, the baby, is by far the coolest person I know. He smile for no apparent reason, even the simpliest sounds and movements make him smile. Of course he cries but the reasons are always obvious.

I start my new job in two days and I am excited. Not that I will not miss the highly motivated and organized team at my other job (can you hear the sarcasm dripping). You know that scene in Shawshank Redemption where Tim Robbins emerges at the end of the prison sewer pipe and is standing in the rain. That is what is was like getting out of my last job. Don't ask me why I stayed, the point is - I am not there anymore. I will be sure to keep you posted on my new job.

Happy New Year!! So what will you be griping about this year? You've gotten much off your chest thus far. Good luck with the resolutions (many of which I share), the new job, and whatever else you have in store for the coming months.

By the way, try to guess who this is. CLUE: I'm cute!!
