cleansing and purging

Welcome to 2009!

I thought about sitting here and typing out my 2008, but got to April and decided that it was going to take entirely too long and would be mostly boring and changed my mind. Besides, I drank way too much the first part of my year to remember it all ha ha.

So..

Ok, Christmas. I am really glad for a co-worker who invited me and the asshole roommate to spend the day with him and his family, otherwise I would have had nothing else to do. I got a new champagne glass to replace the one the cat broke, so that was awesome. I also got 2 movies and 2 books. I got a card from my mom. gee. thanks mom.

I'm thinking of sending her a guilt filled email to get her to send me an REI giftcard so I can get the climbing shoes I want. It probably wouldnt work but its worth a shot, right?


New Years.
Fun, Drama, booze, too much food.

I took my nicotine patch off about 4pm (much to the displeasure of a certain monkey man) and decided the day before new years was a stupid time to quit smoking since I would be drinking. I had 5 maybe 6 cigarettes, and my chest feels like an elephant sat on it today. Not a good choice. MM shot off a firework and it went a wrong direction and headed directly towards myself and B. B and P then decided to berate MM about his fireworks safety and skills pissing off MM. B and P need to back the fuck off sometimes. After that, more people showed up to talk to and in the end, had a pretty good time, a bottle of champagne, some guitar hero, and surrounded by good friends.
oh, and being told that a certain someone is never allowed back into their house.
awesome.
apologizing to EVERYONE that was there Thanksgiving for someone's actions and decisions and promising, that no... never again.

I'm not going to go into detail about the previous statements, lets just say drama and bullshit was brought into a drama and bullshit free zone, some really bad decisions by someone else pretty much ruined any chance they had an a really awesome adopted family here in Austin, and I should not have to go back and apologize to people for a grown person's choices, but I had to and that was that.


I dont want to go to work tomorrow, but that's normal. I *could* call in sick but I wont because I actually will have a ton of work that needs to be done because its the first day of client expectations.


Lets see, In other news.

I have quit smoking. MM had about $600 in flex spending to use by the end of the year (giving us 3 days to use it all) and part of what was bought was the patch for me to quit smoking. I'm not craving a cigarette, its the routine. Its the "ok its 9am, I've been at work for an hour, had my coffee and some brekkie and i havent actually started working because all my customers are in Washington and Oregon, so lets go smoke!". Getting into my car and lighting a cigarette. Sitting at Epoch drinking coffee and chain smoking. I can do it, its just going to be weird.

MM and I have started a clense. Filling our bodies with so many toxins (me cigarettes, us both booze, and processed foods) and we're both tired, lethargic, headaches, etc, and have decided to start "the master clense"...which means we're pooing a lot! LOL

that's pretty much it really.

I'll try and update this thing more often! Promise!
