Post Christmas Greetings and Happy New Year!

Hello everyone! I'm finally back at my desk to write a blog! How exciting. I had a good holiday this year. I got some pretty nice gifts from my lovely boyfriend, and his family and of course Jenn got me some great chocolate/coffee scented bath stuff and my cousin got me strawberry scented bath stuff and Aaron's folks got me pomegranite (sp?)/lychee scented bath stuff, so I should be set on bath stuff for a while, considering that I already had peach scented shower gel, rose scented shower gel, and spiced vanilla scented shower gel in my shower already. I can have a different scent everyday!

The only thing I didn't get was $120 so I could do "Personal Touch" at Jazzercise, which I guess I'm gonna have to pay for myself.

So I'm working on what my new year's resolutions are going to be, so far I have:

1. quit smoking (that was my resolution last year, and I did quit for almost six months, and then I started again, cuz I suck).

2. get back on program on Weight Watchers and lose another 30 lbs. (at least I actually completed on resolution this year, go me!)

3. watch less TV

4. read more books

5. keep my apartment clean and clutter free at all times (which I'm hoping I will be able to do if I watch less TV).

That's all I got so far and I think that's all I'm gonna do, cuz that's a tall order right there.

It's been a while since I posted

There's not much NEW going on in my life right to post about I guess. Life is just chug chug chuggin along as normal. I did a lot of shopping this weekend, but most of it was for me and not for Christmas presents, which I'm kinda feeling guilty about but whatever, I needed the stuff I bought so it wasn't all impulse buying. I did get a few presents for people though which is nice and now I will probably have to wait until my next paycheck which comes the Friday before Christmas before I can finish my Christmas shopping.

It's funny - I am a atheist/agnostic (born and raised if you will) and I celebrate Christmas because it's the "American Way" I suppose. This Chinese girl that I work with is also atheist/agnostic and she doesn't celebrate Christmas, because there aren't nearly as many Christains in China as there are in the US, so it's not as hyped up I guess. The thing is, Christmas (at least the way my family and a lot of families celebrate it) is not really that Christain of a holiday (not like Easter, Good Friday, etc.) The tree is Pagan, the colors red & green are pagan winter solstice colors, etc. etc. etc. So I suppose it doesn't really matter that I celebrate Christmas. I enjoy giving people presents as a way of showing them I appreciate them. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. To me that's what Christmas is.

There's my rambling post for the week, I hope you enjoyed it.
