Day 1

I'm back. It's 12:39 on January 1st 2009. How many more days until Spring? It's a whopping 16 degrees outside right now...nothing like a warm welcome for the new year, eh? I'm home. Alone. All is quiet in the house and I'm drinking water. I came home to find freshly baked crusty rolls awaiting my return. Luckily I had a HUGE dinner (we're talking mushroom & swiss burger with fries AND something called "chocolate nachos" for dessert. I'm not sure what it was, but there was chocolate, ice cream and fudge. What more could a girl need to go out with a bang, eh?) so they weren't even tempting. Oh yeah...and I had one beer the whole night. It just wasn't doing it for me. Of course, it could have been the lame-o bowling alley we went to. This place was meant for yuppies...the kind of idiots who would be willing to pay $65/HR TO BOWL! WHO DOES THAT? We bitched and were only charged the per game charge. Ick. I hate yuppie places like that. A bowling alley is supposed to be filled with big bearded bikers, smoky air and Zeppelin. Not a DJ. And movies playing above the lanes. Dumb!

So, I'm sitting here drinking WATER (yay!) and preparing myself to go to bed at 1am on New Year's Day. Now don't get me wrong...I'm not one to pass up a night of drinking every now and again...but I HATE being hung over and wasting the majority of the next day dead to the world on the couch, taking all too many trips to "refund," if you follow me. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to a day of feeling good, and making healthy choices. My new gym is closed tomorrow, so perhaps I'll go for a walk. (It's supposed to be a whopping 34 tomorrow...talk about a heat wave!) Or if I'm feeling crazy, I'll pop in a workout DVD. Who knows.

Well kids, I'm gonna go wash off the warpaint and head to bed. Here's to a fabulous beginning to 2009!
