99 love balloons. that’s how last nights celebration for this new year ended… followed by singing along to weezer’s first album on the way home.

last year’s main goals: job closer to home, get in better shape, and start blog. check, check, and half check (ok, so i started it but i think we can say i’ve done a lousy job at updating it)

this year’s main goals: learn web design, continue to lead a healthier and more active life, and continue this blog (thanks jeff for calling out my lack of blogging).

another thing that has been on my mind: is my career. something about having a few days off and not having to go to work has made me think. now i know we all need to work and make a living. but when you dread having to go back to work-something isn’t right. and i don’t dread it because i don’t like it. i dread it because i’m questioning if it’s what i want to be doing. one of the things brewing in my mind lately is the idea of grad school. the problem with that is, well, what do i want to go to grad school for? it’s one puzzle i haven’t been able to solve. if i take my strengths and likes and put them together it should equal to ideal job? is that wishful thinking? i’ve also come to realize that i seem to seek change quite often. things can’t be settled for too long before i get all antsy and need something new to venture into or be into. which leads me to believe that no matter what the ideal job equates to be-i might never be fully happy or satisfied with what i’m doing….yikes-i’d like to believe that this isn’t the case. there has to be something out there for me to do where i can put all my best feet forward and really accomplish something that i feel good about. much to think about.

i’m looking forward this year and to what it might have in store for me. as my brother in law put it:
“This is the year to get it done. Soo, get out there and make it happen!!!! Only good luck never bad.”
