January.

I am off to the races so far this month I have made excellent progress on my goals I have a new job and am starting to find little ways to take care of me. I have to find ways to open up to others with out letting all my emotions, opinions and self escape in two seconds. There are many things I am trying to figure out. I keep thinking about college. I want to go back but I need a clear cut direction if I do. Hum. Other goals I am watching what I eat and even downloaded a few apps to motive, inspire and keep track of my weight and health goals. I have made a new friend at work her name is... For this blog Birdy. She is fun and energetic and has lots of new ideas to help bring our work place into the 21st century. I am almost done with RCIA. Few more months. And I have been given the option to stop physical therapy. I have started looking at apartments the thought of living alone again excites and terrifies me. Of corse I do have room mate options but I think I would do better for now if I have to deal with just me. Well I gess that's all so far.

First Blog Ever.

I am not a blogger normally, But as it is new years resolution time here we go. This new year coming up should find me 24 on my way to 25, living with my parents once again, starting or in search of a new career/job, still recovering from ligament replacment surgery, single and trying as always to loose weight. I am going to be blogging at least once a week of my failures or successes. Pictures are a maybe. Even though I am writing mainly on my life and life experiences there will probably be the random recipe or video with my take on it and side stories about friends or family.

I welcome anyone who wants to follow or join in my journey. Advice and constructive critisism will be welcome. I am working on my goals for the new year an I will not be posting anymore till the new year. Have fun.
