2009

Weird. 2008 just came and went way too quickly. Where did the year go? How is it 2009 already? They say time flies when you're having fun but time flies just the same when you're miserable and stressed out. Hmm at least I think I can take some comfort in that....except as the wedding and my CPA deadline creeps closer I am starting to feel panicky.

In about 4 more months I am going to be a Mrs. So weird!! I am nervous, no doubt about it. There's still so much to do and so little time. I really hate making decisions. I am too indecisive for my own good. I hope Alex won't be my only friend once we're married. Sometimes it feels like it's just us. Half of my closest girlfriends are out of Cali and the other half that is here....we're all so buys we probably only see each other once a month if we're lucky. Sucks but that's life I guess.

Alex and I finally move in together. Into an ultra swanky junior 1 bedroom condo across from AT&T park. Believe me we're paying an arm and a leg for it but it's ok. We're young. We don't have kids or debt so I guess it's ok to splurge this year. I love my apt! We're on the 15th floor and we have almost a 180 degree view of the city. We didn't even have to leave our apt to see the fireworks on New Year's eve (our original plan backfired as we were unpacking/organizing until 3am). Yes the view is the best part and totally worth the extra $150/month compared to another unit on the 4th floor. My first take on domestic partnership? It's not half bad. For me it's always difficult living with people because I am super anal and everything bugs the shit out of me. I had my doubts about Alex but he's really shaped up. He'll even pick up my socks when I leave them in the living room  (ha guess whose habit I picked that up from?).

A year away from the kitchen and I am super rusty already! I tried making oatmeal this morning for breakfast and I couldn't do it. I used too much water. Alex laughed at me. He says I'm going to have to re-learn everything. He might be right. Damn it. I can't wait to try out new recipes and invent new things too cook.

I bet 2009 will go by just as quickly as 2008. I can't wait for the wedding to be over so that we can go on our honeymoon! I need a vacation SO BADLY!!!!! Alex and I didn't take a real vacation in 2008 (and by real we mean laying on a beach somewhere) so don't mind me if i get crabbier by the day. It's ok 4.5 more months and we can relax. Ugh I hate...no I LOATHE planning.

Work - hmmm think i'll work on my resume and look around a bit. Not too sure what I want to do. I really hate accounting and I think 3 years is enough time to reevaluate what I want to do with my life. I don't know why I continue to try and pass the CPA. 90% of the time I feel like there's no point because I hate the field and I rather be doing anything else. But what else? That is the million dollar question. If only I was passionate about something....anything....*sigh*

I don't know if I have any new year resolutions for 2009. I guess try to be happy and less moody? We'll see....we shall see....

Oh save as much money as possible. That's a given. Although not sure how much I can really save with the expensive rent & utilities  crossing my fingers for a huge bonus....gimme gimme gimme!

2008 sucks
