Christmas has come and gone without much excitement. I'm just glad it's over. Granted, the whole rush at work is about halfway over. January is full of returns, both via customers and vendors... and add in replenishment shipments from sales we've made this month and it's going to be a long one! I only work three days this week as we apparently don't get shipments on Thursday or Friday! Definitely looking forward to that! 
I've been thinking about my goals for the New Year and finally narrowed them down into chunks that I think I can handle and really focus on. They are:
To keep in contact with people more often than I have been. The main reason as to why I don't is mostly due to the fact that I am super lazy, or think I have better things to do, but I really don't. Another reason is basically that I hate feeling like I bother people, that I'm a personal nuisance.
To speak without much hesitation or reservation. I don't talk a lot, unless I have something to say. But I don't really care for idle conversation, I want to talk about something other than mundane gossip for the most part. And I usually over-think about whatever situation I'm in and end up not saying it, eventually regretting not saying anything.
To be wiser with my money. I finally got direct deposit, after like two and a half years, but I have never been very good with money. I think not having to worry about going to the bank every week will help, and I am going to be starting on a rough outline of a budget this week to help track how much I actually do spend. And probably carrying cash would help.
To eat better and exercise more. If not for the fact that I am going to show my ex that I am better off, and better looking, without him, I want to look amazing. I owe that much to myself. Besides, being healthy and eating well is always in.
In me news though, I've decided to re-watch all of Lost. I didn't get a chance to finish watching season 5 when it aired and I got it for Christmas, but considering the last season is starting soon, I decided to refresh my memory as I got completely caught up! I've started watching a lot of new television this summer/fall though, including Heroes, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Mad Men, The Tudors, etc. And I want to start watching Chuck, Buffy, Doctor Who, and probably a million others I can't remember. 
But it's a good thing I'm single, right? Haha. I don't have to worry about having to share time with someone else. It's all mine and I can do whatever it is I want without having to really answer to anybody else.
And in site related news, hopefully the spamming and hacks will stop. I've added captcha to the comments (as that seemed to be the culprit of this last issue). It's just weird because I don't and haven't done a whole lot with this site and it still gets those attacks. 
Anyway, I need to finish up some letters and start working on my Christmas cards!

All of today has been super slow. I've been up since six-thirty for a holiday meeting at work from seven to nine. I brought cupcakes though! Chocolate with peanut butter buttercream frosting! They are all gone. Thankfully. I saved some at home, but they were small. And tasty. And they are gone as well. 
But I've spent the rest of the day kind of being lazy. I was at Target and finished with my shopping there by around eleven. Being up before ten in the first place is still a miracle to me. I feel like I get more accomplished though, even though I am pretty lazy.
So, Star Trek marathon has been postponed to an unknown date in December. Which is fine, I totally understand being busy. But, I'm leaving the rest of the planning up to him. I made my effort, extended my interest. It's his turn now. I even had made plans to work on my Berkeley application today, but alas. Laziness and procrastination overtook me. I am going to go make some rice or cereal or something after I finish typing this up and go curl up and write it. The internet has too many distractions to try to begin typing up here. I got a good start with it yesterday during my last fifteen minute break. I just need to finish that portion and work on the second personal statement sort of thing. I'm trying to do this all by myself to prove to myself that I can, but we'll see how that goes. 
In all of my laziness, I did all. of. my. dailies. in World of Warcraft. ALL OF THEM. On both of my characters. I could've put those two hours to better use, but oh well. I got three titles in one swipe on my warlock (Crusader, Ambassador, and of Thunder Bluff)! I started playing the game because my ex did, and it ended up being something that brought us together and probably ultimately drove us apart. Raiding is all fun and games, but doing it constantly for the amount of time he could've had a second full-time job... yeah, that's not very beneficial to relationships! But anyway, I still enjoy it. I don't do as many instances right now, but I'm getting my dailies out of the way! The Thanksgiving holiday achievements start tomorrow... Self, work on your essays first.
My warlock! She's my first I ever rolled and I still love her!
My newly dinged 80 paladin! She's a little under-geared and I don't really want to do heroics right now, so doing dailies is all I've got planned for her right now.
Argh, I forget what else I was going to write about. OH. New layout, some content has been added, and I installed CuteNews! Here's to better blogging!
