Let The Writing Begin in 2010!

It's the first day of a brand new year! I BARELY write on this blog, so why not make a fresh start and write for the new year!??! Some would say that this is an opportunity to get it right, but so far, I think it is just another day to keep on doing the same ol', same ol'. You can't WISH for a new year and new outcomes unless you couple it with some good old fashion ACTION. My list of resolutions for this year are short and sweet...

- Graduate with my PhD! I soooooo desperately want this experience to be over. It was a bad decision, but I think I would absolutely be heartbroken if I didn't finish this goal. It's the only real goal that I have ever had.....
- Get tickets to Oprah's final show. Yeah, I know it's a hard ticket to get, but somebody's got to be there in the audience, so why not me!?!? I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to be there!!
- Lose this pesky weight. I hate how being overweight takes a toll on your self esteem, confidence and your ability to walk with your head held high. I want to be self assured and Lord knows, I don't want to be a rolly polly walking across the graduation stage.
- Start dating seriously. My dating life (or lack thereof) is pitiful and unexceptable!!!!

So, I put these resolutions out there for the world to see. I pray that I will be able to meet all these goals and have fun along the way!

Happy New Year, everyone!

Wow! I haven't posted to this site in a LONG time! A few things have changed since I last posted. I have decided to get my fat butt in gear and start exercising and eating right. As a result, I have lost 23 pounds since I started in March. My goal is to lose quite a bit of weight, so I hope that I keep up with it. I have cheated a bit these last few weeks....Not sure what happened. But, I hope to stay focused and reach my ultimate goal by March.

Santa Baby....

What do you get the girl who wants everything......hmmmmm

1) The new iPod shuffle. Who cares that I have the iPod nano - I want to be able to clip it anywhere on my body like they do in the commercials...
2) I need a dang toaster and electric can opener......Using a manual can opener SUCKS and putting bread in the stove to toast it is so frickin' ghetto! LOL
3) some peace and quiet.....life is so topsy turvy right now. I just want 6 months of drama free living. Is that too much for a girl to ask
4) I would love, love, love a vacation - preferably somewhere beachy, quiet and desolate. A beach chair, fruity drink and a trashy magazine are all I need.....

Welcome to My Electronic Couch

Life sucks right now! So, I thought that I would try to channel all of my stress into a blog. Saying "blog" kinda reminds me of saying "blah", which kinda reminds me of vomiting - so these writing thing might be virtual vomit, if you will... Just trying to get out all of the junk that is weighing on my shoulders. There's a lot going on in my life...some of its straight out of a damn Lifetime Movie.....some of it's sad.....some of it's shocking.....some of its dramatic......but, it's my life and I need to learn how to manage it. You may want to read, you may not. But, did I do it for you? Heck no! But, if I can encourage someone along the way, that would be great.

So, who am I? I am an overweight, insecure 31 year old woman who hasn't had a date in forever, and a boyfriend in forever times two! I am working on my PhD, but I just got a damn D in my advanced statistics test, so I can't even say that I am a smart PhD student. I have a good paying job, but its definitely not the love of my life. In fact, I HATE coming to work everyday. As I walk down the long line of cubes, to my itsy bitsy desk, I wonder "Is this all there is in life?"
