Happy New Year!!
Well, its been a while, but part of the new year...I want to start writing again. I enjoy looking back and seeing what I was feeling/doing at any point in time in my life!
First:
I passed my CVT test, after failing the first time, I wasn't sure if I wanted to attempt to take it again (even thought it was my last chance) but I bit the bullet and paid another $300 and took it on December 9...and PASSED! I haven't gotten the final letter, but the computer gave me a pass, so all is good!
Second:
I finished 5th overall in my gymkhana placing. I won super cute giraffe print Pro Choice SMB and bell boots! I love them!!! I also got a new breast collar, a barrel rein, another $25 gift certificate and a participation t-shirt (neon pink letters!)
Third:
I am no longer with Dan, not even friends. There was alot of issues between us, neither (more so Dan I think) wanted to change. We just weren't right for each other. We were in different places in life, and even though I partly settled (not in a bad way) I just couldn't lie to myself anymore. And all my thoughts and feelings have been confirmed, bc as I am willing to compromise, he isn't...so no more Dan. I have learned alot as to what I want and have become a better/stronger person! But it is hard as sometimes my heart tells me one thing while my brain tells me another (which is what I should listen to) I am getting better every day. I can honestly say this is a man I loved. At one point I felt love back, but not anymore. C'est la vie!! :(
Fourth (part of first):
I have a good job now, 40 hours a week, bonuses, medical coverage, and for the most part a pretty cool group of people to work with. Bad thing, its about 14 miles away from home. But I think a new car is in my future. Which leads to....
Fifth:
My car.... 92 honda accord 248k miles.... shes gonna die eventually....I don't know when (just got it fixed again) so I am saving my $$ (mostly SK $) to buy a new one. I'd like to get as much money to put down as my credit isn't so great and I don't want a huge payment. Something will come up hopefully so I don't have to stress out every time I drive my car somewhere.
Sixth:
Puck died, Roz died, Jiminy died, Xena died...this was a rough year (I think Puck died in 09) but even still, ROUGH year!! But I got a new kitten "Cricket" a little girl finally...
My mom got a Chihuahua "Little Girl" we were supposed to be fostering her, but every time I mention finding her a home, my mom gets super sad and isn't sure about it. So I think we have a new little yappy lap dog who is a stage 100000 clinger...lol
My goals for 2011:
- ride my bike at least every other day/or do some form of exercise (even if it is walking to the mail box)
- don't eat out, mostly fast food as often and make breakfast every morning
- let go of things I can't control, we are never fully in control, but if I learned anything from my relationship from Dan, is to never let someone else control how I feel or my attitude. Life is short and you shouldn't settle. I have a few hang ups I need to let go of, but time heals and everything happens for a reason.
- I'd like to get back into going to church too, that kinda fell to the way-side bc of Dan.
I think that is a good finish to 2010 and start to 2011!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
