Sick Computer.

Hello all! Sorry for the absence my computer is sick. It literally talks to me and says "NEW VIRUS NEW VIRUS" whenever I turn it on. The IT specialist at my mom's elementary school has it now so hopefully it is on the mend. That threw a wrench in the plan of doing a "Pictures of my Ever Changing Body" post in light of my new weight loss task. That will be coming soon though. My followers keep going up and down. :( Stick with me you guys, I have resolved to blog more often but I have been without computer so I am checking my Reader on my iTouch. I dont have the patience to blog from it so once the computer is better things will get back to normal around here. I am still planning on doing a giveaway at 50 followers (only 4 more) so spread the word!


New Years was eventful.. both good and bad. 3 friends and I headed up to a lounge in DC. We checked into the hotel, had a nice dinner at in hotel restaurant, then got ready to go out. I guess only bad things can come of an open bar because I am no longer speaking to one of the girls. We have had a less than smooth friendship since high school graduation and I guess the alcohol brought up all these ill feelings towards me and a situation that happened last summer that apparently she is not over. She even shoved me. Needless to say, that friendship is no more. 


I don't want to bore you with another post about goals and resolutions but I feel it is only necessary considering this new decade we have embarked on. So here goes nothing...


1.) Get healthier. I mentioned this before but this has got to be numero uno. I want to embark on the next chapter of my life feeling and looking great.I want to into a gym routine when I get back to school of going at least 3 days a week. I have a big graduation party planned in June and I dont want to be hiding from the camera and feeling self concious. 


2.) Eat out less, and make better choices while eating out. My roommates and I are CONSTANTLY eating out. Not only would my waist line be smaller, but my bank account would also be bigger as I have looked at my account statements and it is mostly food places. No bueno.


3.) Pass my first ac*tuarial accreditation exam. I need to get this out of the way early in the year so I can focus on graduation, moving, and starting my new job. I just signed up for an online review seminar that is said to have great results so I hope I can put this behind me soon!


4.) Be a more selective friend. I don't mean this to sound spiteful but I have a habit of dragging friendships on. It seems like I am often times a better friend to some than they are to me and I need to focus my time and energy on those friendships that are positive.


5.) Do more for my family, be more appreciative. I sometimes take a lot of things that my parents have given me for granted. They know that I appreciate them but I could say it more and do more to show them how thankful I am for EVERYTHING.


6.) Meet someone to share my life with. That sounds like a tall order and I dont mean that I want to take the marriage plunge this year but I think that if everything else in my life is in order, I will be more than ready to bring something positive to a relationship. I by no means NEED someone to be with, but I definitely want it. 


*Also, quick reader poll. I was listening to the radio this morning and the DJ was saying that if a woman has moved with a man twice, given up her career, and he has hinted at a marriage proposal that she should be paid damages after calling off the relationship. I COMPLETELY DISAGREE! I dont think you should give up your life, family, friends on just a verbal commitment. After the first move, there should have been a ring. And I'm sure it wasnt completely out of nowhere. Arent there usually signs? Then again, I have never been in this situation but I cant imagine giving everything up for a guy that wasnt totally sure he wanted to marry me. What do you girls think?
