Happy Almost New Year

As the year comes to an end many people can't wait for the new year to start hoping that it will be a better year than the current. I can honestly say, I loved 2011. It was full of lots of work to do, but also many fun times and family.

I will mark 2011 down as an AWESOME year. I'm sure if I think hard enough that I can find things that did not go so well, but I will choose to remember to good times and everything that made the year amazing. Life is so short and you cannot wish for a year to end, because in reality you do not have an unlimited of new years to count on for things to get better.

Here's to hoping that everyone can find the joy and happiness from the past year and be thankful for everyday. Here's to hoping that 2012 will be an even more awesome year for everyone. :-)

1 week down.

I am still alive after one week of vacation. The first four days were the worst, but after that I seem to be doing much better. I have done a ton of cleaning and cooking. Then Kevin's sister Libby came up to visit and I have been spending lots of time with her.

I am optimistic that traveling down to So Cal will reduce my boredom since I will be surrounded by people and busy doing lots of different activities.

Happy Holidays to everyone and hopefully your vacation is enjoyable :-)

Vacation :-/

Why am I so bad at vacation? I guess it is simply that I do not enjoy not having work. I know there are many wonderful hobbies and activities that one can do, but I thrive off of assigned work.

I have been on vacation since Thursday (making this day 4) and it feels like it has been a month. I am dying of boredom. I want assignments. In general, I just want to be required to do something.

As my family and friends know, I am not the type of person who can just relax, so vacation is a long agonizing process for me.

Here's to hoping that the next two weeks go by quickly so I can get back to school and things that will keep me busy. :-)
