Happy New Year! How things can go from chaos to fixed in one day~

Happy New Years, everybody :) It's now 2009, and we only have three more years now until the world ends in 2012~ I know I'll try to spend my last three years well! ;) (For those who don't know, the Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world in 2012. They have been pretty accurate thus far for other things, so I am hoping they made a mathematical error for this particular event! Can't the world end after I die peacefully of old age 70 years from now??)

Anyway, my new years was pretty uneventful. My day was pretty lousy in the morning and afternoon though! I woke up sort of sick, I had collectors calling me constantly because I'm unable to pay my credit card bill, my Japanese camera's lens is broken, my computer was acting up and not working right (I have horrible computer luck...), and I have been repeatedly turned down for jobs despite how hard I've been working... So, I felt pretty lousy. What pushed me into a little crying fit was that my Zune, Betsy (yes, I named her), completely died. My Zune is pretty much my life-line because I cannot go a day without listening to music. I was thinking "Wow, really? Anything ELSE going to fuck up today?!"

But I've been trying to think more positively and optimistically recently. So I stepped back, took a few deep breaths, and proceeded to calmly work through everything. I called more places about work and finally got a possible interview with K-Mart. I figured I can use my old, crappy camera until I have enough money to repair my damaged camera. I finally answered the calls from the collectors and discussed a cheap way to slowly pay off my debt ($10 a month! Nice!). And I went to cleaning out and organizing crap on my computer so it would work better. So while my computer was running tests and fixing itself, I did an hour of Wii Fit (with plenty of yoga and stength exercises). That hour pretty much relaxed me and helped me calm down (thanks yoga!). THEN I learned that everyone's Zune was acting up! So it wasn't my fault for breaking! haha that relieved me a whole bunch. And now it is working again, so I am so happy! Betsy is a live and well. :)

So I spent New Years with my family. We watched "Pimp My Ride" for a while before moving onto playing Raving Rabbids on the Wii. We tuned in to CNN with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin just in time to see the ball drop and see people make out on TV (which I didn't really wanna see...). Today I'm off to see my family at my grandparents (and getting a free vacuum! whoo hoo!) and then going out with my cousins at night. Overall, pretty busy from here on.

Hope everyone had a great and safe New Years! :)

XOXO

"I agree with the realistic Irishman who said he preferred to prophesy after the event." (G.K. Chesterton)

If it happens, it happens, not much sense in fretting over it! It's not like there's anything we can do to stop it if it's true. Just do the best you can every day.

This is true. If its gonna happen, its gonna happen. That's why I giggle when I see commercials with "pay no interest until 2014" because I think "HA we'll be gone by then. I should buy ALL of that shit" haha :)
