My First Random Post in 2010

So we are six days into 2010 and dare I say that things are going really really well. Kind of scary good, kind of like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm hoping that this six day streak of good just keeps going along on it's happy merry way and that maybe all of 2010 will be a good year. I don't know how realistic that is but a girl can hope can't she?! I thought for this post I would give you a random post and fill you all in on some things.

*So the year Shawn died I told myself that I would never again make a New Years Resolution because you just never know what the upcoming year will hold. At that point in time it was to painful to look that far into the future. Last year, my first New Year without Shawn I didn't make any resolution at all. I'm still sticking to that, I did not make a resolution for this year either. Instead, I just told myself two things I would like to see happen in 2010. One is that I wanted to make 2010 a much happier year. I want 2010 to be filled with more and more happiness and laughter and less and less sad days and tears. The second thing that I told myself is that I wanted to keep working out. I feel so much better about myself when I go to the gym. Even when I start working more later this month I'm going to make myself go to the gym every day.

*My tattoo is doing great!! Thank you to all of you who commented on it. It has been a week now and it never did scab or anything, just a little peeling. Not many people have seen it yet because it has been covered up under layers of winter clothes. A few people at the gym have noticed it and commented on how they like it. Myself, well, I happen to LOVE it!! I'm so glad I decided to get one and in now way to I regret it. Within the next week I'm going to go back to the artist and have the outline just a bit thicker. At first I thought I wanted it thin, but since the swelling has gone down I realize I want the outline just a little thicker.

*Thank you to all of you who suggested I keep reading the Twilight books. The day after Christmas I finally finished New Moon. Once I got half way through the book and through all the boring stuff I could not put the book down. It really was good. I'm now about 200 pages into Eclipse and so far it is even better than both Twilight and New Moon. I have plans to crawl into bed tonight and read some more. I still need to see the New Moon movie yet!

*Alright who is with me..who is watching the Bachelor? I told myself I wasn't going to get sucked into it this season, but that was a lie. I was gone on Monday night, but set my DVR and watched it last night. Boy are there some psycho girls on there this time. I think there is going to be lots of drama this season. I'm also picking Ali to win. I think she seems like one of the more 'normal' girls and I also thinks she is really pretty.

*Within the last two weeks I've had two old friends get back in contact with me. I've talked to them both several times and it has been great reconnecting with them once again. People really do come into your life when you need them the most.

*Okay this is a big one and I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself. Remember a few months ago when I told you about three of my new friends that I have met since Shawn died? My girlfriends that are widows as well. Well, we got to talking and thought it would be fun to go on a nice trip sometime this summer. The travel agent called my one friend today and it is looking like we are going to Puerto Viarta, Mexico for seven days and seven nights the end of March!!!!! I'm so freakin excited I can hardly stand myself!!! We haven't bought our tickets yet, but we have to by Friday so on Friday I will know for sure what we are doing.

*Okay this is another big one...a few days ago I met a guy....a really great guy who seems to "get" everything. I'm not going to say anything more about him...at least for now. For now I'm going to keep you in suspense and hopefully by not talking much about him or how things have been going I won't jinx it. But I'm telling you it has been a great last few days!!

Well there you have it six days into 2010 and things have been going really well. I've actually been really happy for a little over a week now. I'm starting to figure things out and looking forward to my future...whatever it has in store for me. Come on 2010....BRING IT!!!
