I guess my goal of blogging more frequently dissipated as quickly as it appeared. However, I have the option to always make the one of my resolutions. Of which, I rarely believe in.

Christmas was incredible. Every year, I am amazed at how close my family has become and enjoy every second. Our tradition has changed but it seems to be for the best. I also have the best meal of the year on Christmas. Since I stopped forcing my family to go to the Midnight Service, I also get the best night's sleep all year.

I had Christmas again the following evening with my lady. She is truly incredible. To leave out mushy details, we finished Christmas how we started it: a full bottle of wine. or two. If I ever lacked a positive outlook for the future, she definitely helps me find it. I am a lucky lucky girl.

Christmas came and went. And then we celebrated New Years. It was an interesting evening accompanied by the aforementioned lady, new friends, absinthe, and an old...flame? It was odd to see her for the first time in almost a year, however it was only midly uncomfortable. It was also strange to see how nothing had changed - roommate still exists. Control still exists. Very sad. My New Year was brought in with a kiss that a barely remember (because of my run-in with Absinthe) but am positive it was the only way I would want to bring in the New Year. Below you will find a list of resolutions. Of this list, I resoluted (?) to only break two. I am not sure which two, but hey... we all need a little leeway.

1. Learn to communicate better and more effectively. This is true in romantic relationships as well as friendships and familial relations
2. Follow the G.I. Diet and lose 50 lbs by April.
3. Quit drinking Jager.
4. Stay organized at home and at work.
5. Stop living to work.
6. Participate in more community service.

In other news, I have caved and purchased the Britney Spears cd. It is amazing. I also purchased the new KT Tunstall cd - equally as good as her first!
