Happy Holidays

It's December. I can't believe the year went by so quickly! So much has happened this year. I feel like I have grown. The surgery did wonders for my confidence level and I am really enjoying being more active. Leaving BSA and going off on my own was the best thing I ever did. I feel so much more relaxed knowing that my fate is decided by me and not by someone else who thinks they have a better plan for my life then I do. It is going to be a truly great 2005!

I am trying to be more aggressive about dating and trying new things. I joined eHarmony again to see if that was a more serious relationship dating site. The only problem is that you don't really get to know the person who you are trying to get in contact with. Plus they have very few matches. And when you do have a match you often don't get any response from them. So I am going to let it expire in January and I joined Lavalife again. I really don't like the meat market atmosphere, but at least you get to talk to folks and who knows... Maybe I will actually find someone I like.

Alex and I are still having fun together and he is a sweetie. Kelly and Karl are awesome. I have also began making some cyber friends on the motley fool message board.

I purchased some new bedroom furniture that I am very excited about and I put a new stereo in my car. I am also going to buy myself a blue diamond "I love me" ring for Christmas. I will find out if I will actually get it today.

I need to do my Christmas cards today. I will be going out to Colorado for xmas to see the Jones'. My sister wants me to make time to see her as well, but I just don't know when I will have time. I am only going to be there for three days and a lot of that time is already spoken for. I'm not entirely sure why she puts so much pressure on me to see each other especially since she seems to dislike me. Anyway, I think I am just going to mail their gifts to them and try to not feel guilty.

Bailey will be staying with Kelly and Mila while I am out of town. As I am writing this she is curled up next to me sleeping on the sofa. I love her so much that it amazes even me. I wonder if that is the feeling that most women need when they have children. Something to rain affection on. Men tend to get sick of it if you do it to them.

Well, that is my update. Things are great and they are only going to get better. I wonder what the new year will bring...
