Random Thoughts.

So, I know today is January 2, 2010 . . but I wanted to share what I did on New Year's Eve because I actually enjoyed myself this year. Plans weren't definite until the day of but none the less, I had fun. M and I went down to FH where a friend of his lives. A bunch of his friends from SU came down and we stayed there for quite sometime. Then we all decided to walk to a close bar and bring in the new year there. The weather was terrible that night (cold and rainy) but we all managed to make the best of it. We only stayed at the bar until about 12:30 then came back to my house to crash. Overall, a pretty fun way to end 2009.

M and I on New Year's Eve

January 1 is my dad's birthday. Sadly, I didn't get to see him but I am hoping to today.

I've been thinking about how I never make New Year's goals or resolutions, probably because I don't want to disappoint myself if I don't succeed, but this year, since it's also a new decade, I think I may make 1 or 2.

1. To take better care of myself - this means taking at least an hour out of my day to exercise. I don't care if it's at a gym or taking my dog for a walk, but I need to get moving.

2. I always say I want to volunteer and help out people (I do make donations to different organizations, but money is a materialistic thing) so this year I want to volunteer somewhere. It could be at an animal shelter or soup kitchen. Somewhere where I know people will appreciate it. It's nice to put other's needs before yours sometimes.

Do you have any New Year's goals or resolutions? Or do you skip on things like that?
