Snow Day: A Recap of a Week

It is hard to believe that the first week of the year is already over. I have an immense feeling that this year will go just as fast as the last one did. I have pulled over 50 hours of work in this week, and I feel that I am still very far behind. I decided last night after getting irritated with Aaron that I would work today as well, and set up a tentative schedule of 10 t0 6. I am happy that I let that idea go, however, because at this moment, I am drinking hot cocoa by the window while I watch snow continue to fall, as it has for the past few hours. I definitely would not have wanted to drive back home in a few inches of snow, especially not with the drivers that we have in this state (unfortunately myself included.)

As I said in a previous post, I have decided to start this year off a little differently. My writing skills need brushing up, my stress needs reevaluating, and my goals need a bit of thought. While I work on these things, I am accompanied by my new desk calendar of the 1,000 places to see before you die. Each day, I get a little closer to enlightenment and contentment.

The New Year

"I suppose dying's as good an excuse as any to start living."

I am obsessed with a tv character. Very, very obsessed. Charlotte "Chuck" Charles from Pushing Daisies is my new idol, so to speak. I really want to become more of a compassionate and less lazy person. I don't think that it will happen overnight, but I am willing to try. I would love to learn how to raise bees, learn numerous languages, and help the poor. I think this will be a very productive new year.
After a day of napping and a long bubble bath with a good book, I'm unable to find the right words to convey how I feel at this point in time, but I plan to write every day, and do others things daily as well, such as exercise and trying to make myself look more approachable and pretty on a regular basis. It is going to take a lot of attention and discipline, but I'm hoping that I can make it through to make this year one of the best of my life.
