7 Days into 2007

Since I'm already seven days into the new year & that I have a bit of free time in between laundry chores, I figure I'd write about my plans for the upcomming year in the form of listing my new year's resolutions. Last year I was able to keep most of my resolutions & hopefully this year I"ll be able to keep all of them.

Resolution # 1
This is the one resolution I wasn't successful at keeping, but I really NEED to start saving more money. As I've mentioned in previous blogs, I really want to go to barber school & learn how to properly cut hair. Tuition for a good barber/cosmetology school isn't cheap. In addition to that, I just need to have more $ in case of any unexpected expenses. I hate to admit it, but the computer in which I'm writing this lovely blog is really on it's last legs & I need to start saving up some $ for a new computer.

Resolution # 2
Although I've come a long way at my job, I want to continue to learn my job & to learn it well. I know I don't want to work this job for the rest of my life, but it doesn't hurt to perfect my craft & that way I can return to it if something doesn't work. In addition to perfecting my job skills, I think I need to improve my relations with my coworkers. Although I'm not on bad terms with anyone (exept for my secretary, but that's another story for another blog), I'm not really friends with anyone either & I just seem to keep to myself in my cubicle while everyone else chats it up & jokes around. I don't want to come across as nonsocial & these are people I see for 40 hours a week which is longer than my family, friends, & significant other combined & maybe I can make a new friend/experience something new?

Resolution # 3
This might cut into my first resolution, but I really want to travel some more & possibly even travel by airplane. Last year I was able to expand my travels going to such places as New York City, Phillidelphia, PA & to various parts of Delware. This year I want to go beyond that. Also, I've never been on an airplane before (again maybe another story for another blog), but I feel as I'm approaching my 30th year of life I really need to overcome that phobia

Resolution # 4
This might sound kinda silly, but I want to continue to spend time with all my friends & family. I never seem to see anyone enough & I'm not sure if everyone knows how much I LOVE everyone & are so thankful to have everyone in my life. Sometimes we all get caught up in things that we don't really take the time to appreciate those we have in our lives or we lose touch or we stop talking over something petty. Anyway, if any of my friends or family come across this blog I just wanted to say I LOVE YOU!!!

OK, I think four is a good # of resolutions for the new year, but lets see how well I'm able to keep all of them & maybe as the new year progresses I might create new resolutions for myself. Also, it will be interesting to see if I have any new or amazing stories to share in my blogs?
