Having now successfully navigated over 24 years of living on this earth, and having just returned from a week long extravaganza in which most of Southern California was the star, it's time to buckle down and dedicate myself to my own general improvement. Hence, I offer you my New Year's resolutions.
First, obviously, I will better my own physique in order to maintain a general state of attractiveness to my own sex. Snowboarding should manage to accomplish this just fine although myself wonderfully impeded by the fact that my car battery managed to commit seppuku while I was away in America. After spending a hearty half hour gathering my things into my car so I could head off to the mountains, Gladys (my car) decided she wanted some more vacation time. After calling the dealership they said my options were call the Japanese AAA and pay $130 to get them to help me out, or they'll help me at some point in time tomorrow.
Okay, fine then. Tomorrow. I will continue to better my own physique starting tomorrow.
Resolution number two: Maintain a healthy aura of peace at all times. Most of you know working at my middle school normally leads to me wanting, much like my car, to commit seppuku by the end of the work week. Having decided that this is, perhaps, not the most healthy mindset, this year I will work on keeping my soul still while in the midst of of chaos-- much like the eye of a hurricane. Or a beekeeper in one of those suits. Maybe if I invest in some insecticide I'll get my kids to mellow out.
In the mean time I am currently trapped in my apartment due to the lack of car, so most of today will be spent watching Bridget Jones, sending Bridget Jones quotes to my twitter, quoting Bridget Jones to myself while cleaning the apartment, and making an amazing meal of eggs and sausage a la frying pan.
Of course. Of course the snow has come and the universe does not want me to enjoy it.

Ugh. Sorry about the car problems. I once backed into a giant green gate that I swear to God was not there when I put the car in reverse. But take this an as opportunity to enjoy other things that you might not have had the chance to do. Like when I smashed the side of my car: a friend called directly after the accident and invited me to lunch; she was in the neighborhood and I hadn't seen her in a while. So, in much need of zenning out, I met her for lunch - something that would not have happened if the accident had not delayed my departure from the city. So enjoy the little opportunities present in the midst of temporary setbacks.
And, just to be in the spirit of things: it is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces. - Bridget Jones
