Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Can't believe its already 2010!

I just got back to Chicago last night and have a raging severe cold/sinus infection right now....so I after driving all yesterday alone and sick with the dogs (who aren't much entertainment in the car) I wasn't up for much celebration last night on NYE. I fell asleep on the couch and believe I was in bed before the clock struck midnight... oh well.

2010 means one major thing.....I turn THIRTY this year! eeeeek!! Actually, my birthday is in exactly 7 days. I wanted to have a big bash to celebrate this milestone, but I figured it wouldn't work out because everyone is always pooped out from the holidays and I didn't really plan anything yet, so we'll see what happens. It will probably end up being low key, just like every other year. I hate having a birthday right after Christmas, its just SO boring!

I guess it is scary turning 30. In a way I've been thinking about it all year. Looking at where I'm at in my life, what I have accomplished and what I haven't, what I need to start doing and what I need to change. I often think about how fast the first 30 years has gone, but thinking back to when I was 5 or 6 years old seems like an eternity ago. I am looking forward to another 30 (at least)! Who knows what is in the cards for my 30's, 40's and beyond.

All I know now is that 2009 was a tough year for me and for many of us and I am HOPING that 2010 will mean bigger and better things for me and everyone else.

Here's to twenty-ten!
