Happy New Year

It is 2008. New Year's is one of those holidays that I never quite know how to celebrate. I am not one for the big party or function. I have no strong urge to go and join thousands of people freezing their asses off in Time's Square. (A cold and snowy Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade years ago cured me of that.) I usually volunteer to work because of the overtime. Next year, I may come up with an alternate plan because New Years Eve and Halloween are the worst nights of the year to work. Too much stuff going on and not enough bodies to respond.

One of the other reasons I am not a big New Year's fan is because everyone starts asking the same silly questions. What are your resolutions this year? How was 2007 for you? What kind of changes are you going to make this year? I have a slight bit of the OCD in me, so when I look back I tend to be more self-critical than anything else. I suppose periodic reevaluation of one's life is not a bad thing, but I never enjoy the experience. I have been to therapy a couple of times and I usually prefer short quick doses to the long extended kind. If I convince myself that I am not crazy, then maybe I am not. (I am giggling as I write this. The notion is pretty fucking funny. I am such a control freak.)

So that being said, I hope everyone has a wonderful 2008. I anticipate some changes coming my way in the next couple of months and I will share more as they present themselves.

Looking forward to another fun year of the blog too! Cuidate.
