It's beginning to look...

happy new year & all that jazz...

the holidays came and went and i am glad they are over with.  they were good, few bumps along the way but i survived.  didn't make a big deal out of celebrating new year's eve but did enjoy a late night dinner at taix in silver lake and had my first side car cocktail which is my new fav.  i heard it mentioned on on old classic 'auntie meme' and had to try it.  delish!

most of the weekend i slept late, kept warmy dormy, enojoyed the rain, some shopping, a little bit of photographing, reading, and catching up with my bff, mr. dvr.   :) 

oh!  speaking of reading, i just finished reading 'fat girl, true story'.  it's such a sad story but somehow she overcame and lived her life to the fullest.  i highly recommend it. i've always been overweight and have struggled with my weight. who doesn't?  anyway, i guess i'm trying to figure it out and perhaps by reading others struggles can help me along the way...

on another note, i started using pro activ last month and it seems to be working.  i still get a little bit of acne here and there but not as before.  i really like it!

i don't make resolutions but i do like to re-visit my goals and if i didn't succeed then try again.  with that being said, i want to, in no particular order:

• walk
• start yoga
• cook more
• read more
• make time  for friends & family
• find a new apartment

happy new year!

Sleepless nights on the road to 40...

I had a very nice and long holiday weekend.  I didn't have much planned except for a couple bbq's on the 4th, which were awesome.  I got lots of rest, shopped, and read a bit.  So Monday night came and I had a restless night.  I tossed and turned and was ready to take on the day except it was only 2:20am.  I haven't been able to get a good night's rest until last night.  Finally!  I woke up rested and felt better even though my shoulder was still sore and in pain (old injury). Here we are again, it' s July already and soon it will be 2011.  Where does the time go?  Have I accomplished the goals I set out in January? Yes and No.  I seem to have grown apart from some family and friends (not one of my goals).   Is this what happens or is this something you chose?  I have become more of a hermit in a way or I should say more to myself instead of the outgoing person I used to be.  I am a different person now that is for sure.  I don't really care to do the things I used to do and don't care to run around like before.  Is this just a phase or am I starting another chapter as I get closer to 40?
