Secretly Unstable

I have been told I am crazy, funny, a good cook, and a decent blogger. These are the expectations I am trying to live up to. Thank you.

Frak December!

I am seeing a decent amount of "year in review" blogs pop up. I feel it is my duty as a blogger and a complainer to add in my own year in review. Unfortunately, this blog isn't as easy as my 2006 summer retrospective was to write. Let me put it this way, fuck December.

If I started and "end of the year review" blog at the end of November I would go on to say:
"2006 ROCKED! I had good times with Derek and with my awesome friends and family. I made new friends that are a FAB edition to my life. Our friends and family have announced great things like babies and engagements. I even lost a little weight and my hair got progressively better. I got a promotion at work and I can honestly say that I have been enjoying my job. And the icing on the cake is that we are finally out of credit card debit."

But since its the end of December it would go on the say:
"2006 HAS STRESSED ME THE HELL OUT! Sweetpea got sick and we spent pretty much all of our hard earned savings to get her better. I went from being in a healthy financial place to paycheck to paycheck once again. I have gained about 10lbs from stress and Christmas gift baskets. We are on the verge of turning our lives upside down and backwards with one of the biggest grown up steps ever. (And NO we aren't having a baby, we are buying a house.) And its 2AM and I can't sleep cause I am hungry due to dieting to lose those 10lbs and I can't stop thinking about how broke we are and how much more broke we are going to be."

Its been a shitty month. I am really mad that December has changed my perspective on this entire year. I haven't even had the heart to write any blogs in December, and that hurts me more than it hurts you. I have started a number of blogs. Hopefully I will be less distracted in the new year and I can focus on my in progress blogs like: "Life of a Lactard," "The Most Boring Conversation Ever Overheard," and "Why Do People Who Listen to Rap Music Rap Out Loud?"

This is what stress does to me. I am forced to focus on the important stuff and I can't obsess about the stupid stuff. I hate it. I want to go back to blogging about food and freaks on the subway. I want to take pictures of my sneakers and post them. I want to critize the general population for being so damn lame. I don't want to worry about money. I don't want to obsess about a budget. I don't want to spend my free time online looking up treatments for canine liver disease.

But I guess I am an optimist at heart and I can't help but believe that in the end it will all be ok. So I am going to leave 2006, and December in particular, where it belongs... IN THE PAST. And move foward knowing that even though we are going to be broke, we will still have fun, friends, and family.

Goodbye December! Hello January!

P.S.... If anyone knows of any parttime work that Derek, Sweetpea, or I would be qualified for please let us know. Derek can do print production work, wire your phones, bartend, and fix your broken stuff. I can do media planning, marketing research, cook, be a life coach, and plan your next gala event. Sweetpea can look cute and fart.

P.S.S....Derek and I can fart as well. And to those of you that got the Battlestar Gallactica "Frak You" reference in the title of this blog: You are special like me. You know in a special sci-fi geek way.
