Yay vacation! 9 whole glorious days of not working! And 4 of them will be in Arizona with my friends! I’m ecstatic right now. Practically bouncing off the walls waiting for the dryer to be done so I can throw my clothes in the suitcase and we can be off!

I’ve been looking forward to this long break for a long time. I need time to de-stress, relax, and enjoy life again. This time of year always gets me down, for some reason. It’s like I look at my life and it’s not where I want it to be. But I have no idea how to make it get there. I’m hoping this coming week will give me an opportunity to figure out what I want, as well as how to make that happen. And if it doesn’t, then I hope I figure out how to just be happy where I am. I guess we’ll see.

Jas hasn’t found a replacement bartending job yet, so money is really tight right now (especially after Christmas). I sold my Wii to one of my bosses which made my life a little less stressful. I love the Wii, but I wasn’t playing it very often. My living room is not big enough for the moving around that Wii playing requires, and I got tired of smacking my hand on the couch every time I went Wii bowling. I thought after selling it that I’d have seller’s remorse, but that hasn’t happened at all. I’m just so glad I can afford gas to get to Arizona this weekend. I was a little concerned that we’d have to stay home for New Year’s because we had no money, but this totally helped me out. New Year’s is my second favorite holiday (right behind the 4th of July) and I’d hate to miss being with my friends for it. Every year we get together and drink and play cards all night long. Of course, we used to just call that Saturday Night, but since Tony and Kerry moved away, it’s a little more of an occasion now. Jas has already packed enough alcohol to keep an army drunk for over a week. I’m guessing we’ll use MAYBE 1% of the stuff he brought, but he’s far more optimistic than I am.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to post while we’re gone, so consider this my final post for 2007. Anything else is just a bonus!

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful New Year. I hope your 2008 is fabulous and happy and fulfilling, however you choose to live it.
