Its super rare for me anymore to post twice in a week, but the house is cleaned for company tonight, puppy is taking a nap, and Dustin wont be home from work for another 3.5 hours. So, here is my Welcome 2009 post!
2008 was a strange year for me. I ended a very long, pretty crappy relationship. Spent about 6 months completely single, refusing to date. Started dating a bit in July, met the awesome guy I am now with and the past 6 months have been amazing.
My job took lots of twists and turns...old manager retired...old director retired...new crazy management came in...they are about to go out with the new year and we get our permanent management soon. HOORAY! They cannot possibly be worse than the temporary yahoos.
Spent time in school...got some learning done...got some good grades...got awarded a grant which helps with my living expenses since as an OSU employee they pay for my actual school.
Managed to keep all of my old and new friends...which is GREAT!
I guess it was an overall good year. I had a couple bumps and bruises thrown in there, but no permanent damage.
What do I want for 2009?
- Quit smoking...tonight, actually. Cold turkey, Dustin and I both. I have the rest of the week off work, so figure I can get past the worst of my nicotine withdrawl before I go back to work Monday...my office mates will thank me for being considerate of them.
- Stop eating crap ALL the time. Crap once in a while is fine...necessary even as a treat, but I eat crap like 4 days a week. Too much.
- A raise that is suitable for the work I perform. I am one person now doing the work that 2.5 people were doing. I want money that show it. If not, I want a new job. I am happy at my job, but am WAY underpaid.
- Dustin and I plan on traveling. Right now, it looks like Florida in Feb., NYC sometime during the summer, and then Hawaii once October hits. I owe it to him to go see Hawaii, see if I could imagine myself living there...especially since I know how badly he wants to go back. (Which has a funny story to it...he was talking to my mom over Christmas...mentioned how I had severe reservations about Hawaii. Which led to a conversation that made me cry. I ended up retreating to my room while Dustin explained to mom how he doesnt understand my tears over this. Mom then led him upstairs, put her yippy dog on my bed to attack my face, then started jumping on the bed going "Come on Ashy! Stop crying! Why you crying?", which made me laugh. Mom looks at Dustin and goes "See? Tears fixed. I have never in my life seen her like this...she is just really afraid of losing you."
Best friend from high school should be here in a few hours...I still need to shower and load the dishwasher, but everyone have fun tonight! Be safe and smart! Happy 2009!

I put an end to the sex the week of my birthday (pre-birthday sex). This was the crying on my stairs moment. And then I quit talking to her completely around the first week of December. This crazy bitch is clingy. She doesn't get it, and she won't leave me alone. If this shit keeps up, I'm going to see if work will let me get my cell # changed so that she can't text me, and if that doesn't work, I guess the next step is the cops or a lawyer. Can you say restraining order? I can!
