I started filling out Steven’s meme but it started to bum me out so I stopped.

2008 was really hard year for me, and laying it out in that much detail isn’t a good thing.  Just because the number is changing doesn’t mean things will be better.  You still have to live one day at a time, but I can hope.   2007 ended badly, I had high hopes for 2008 but only a quarter of the way into it, it turned disastrous.   Depression & Betrayal.  That about sums it up. (nice initials)

Just like on 12/31/2007, I again have high hopes for the coming year.  I think it will be when those issues get packed up and thrown away.  One way or the other, they will go away.   I know the process won’t be easy, so I’m prepared for more work, tears, struggles, etc.  But by the end of 2009, I want to be in a different place.  Figuratively speaking. 

The list of things I have to be thankful for remain the same.  My kids, my job, my house, and people who care for me even tho depression has made me lose touch with them.  I think I’ve already started repairing those ties.   I hope so, anyway.

It feels good to look ahead with enthusiasm.  And that’s what I’m doing.

So I was looking around the internet this morning for ..I dunno..  some kind of inspiration.   I’ve started thinking about what my goals will be for 2009 (probably some of the same ones I didn’t accomplish in 2008, lol), and I came across this article which then led me to this guy’s blog and his self-challenge which has gained a lot of popularity, it seems.

100 Thing Challenge

Because we have 2 kids, 2 dogs, etc, etc… It’s kindof impossible for me to live only with 100 things, so instead I decided to challenge myself to a reverse of this.  To purge 100 things from the house instead.  I’m sure I’ve done something like this before and I’ve probably purged 100 things from the house already, but our house is still too cluttered.  We still have ..just too much stuff.  Too much of everything laying around, so if anyone wants to use this idea for their own 2009 todo list, please do. 

I’ll have to put a list somewhere to keep track of this on a blog page.

Woot! Yay, for motivation!

I’ve been making an effort these last couple of weeks to go out on my own away from the husband and even the kids.   I’ve been spending time alone at the dog park a lot, taking the kids to the playground a lot, even joined up one of those meetup groups and met 3 new people on Sunday.

What I’ve found is that people are fucking self absorbed assholes.   For the most part, people are not interested in getting to know someone new.  At least not at these places.  The only place where I have been able to connect with people is men and women over the age of 50 who connect with me because of their dogs at the dogpark.  Younger than that, and they are fucking stuck up, opinionated assholes who really aren’t interested in sitting down and listen to what you have to say.

All these younger people who little kids at the playground and the dog parks will sit and talk talk talk about shit but the moment someone else opens their mouth to say something different, it’s like “ugh, how dare you take the spotlight off me”.

People suck.
