Happy Friggin New Year!

Well, 2007 has gotten off to the same kinda whimper that 2006 ended with....too much to get done around the house, WAY screwed money-wise, dreading going back-to-school (which should probably mean back-to-work for me as well). Does anyone else feel the same kinda letdown as I do after the new year? It probably stems back to placing way too much importance on "a new beginning" and "starting over." It's just another day -- the only difference is I'm gonna be writing the wrong month and year on my checks for a while.

I don't make "resolutions," per se, but I am recommitting myself this year to getting healthier (yes, the same thing I talk about every new year, but I've gotten a good start to it this year with SparkPeople....I'm down 15 pounds in the last 2 months, and 25 down from my heaviest, so I'm optimistic -- only 85 more pounds to go!). (YIKES.) My other goal this year is to get our money in better shape -- no, we won't get outta debt, and no, we're never gonna have a lot (if anything) in savings. But I just wanna get to the point where I don't go into every paycheck in a panic about how we're gonna pay for shit. Doing that for the last 15 years or so has gotten really old.

Some random thoughts:

What's the attraction to pro wrestling? Speaking as someone who CAN appreciate "Cops" and Jerry Springer, I still just don't get it.

Why are the Bears finishing the season so badly? I knew the offense was gonna be up and down -- that's to be expected with Rex trying to get it all figured out. But WHERE has the defense gone?? They started the year as the best ever, and now they can't stop the damn Lions or Buccaneers? COME ON. They're just pissing me off....they're looking like they'll be one-and-done in the playoffs, which is pathetic.

Am I the only female that likes sports? I know I'm not, but the way people talk and the way they market sports, it sure seems like it.

On a related note, am I not supposed to like sex as much JN, and if I do, does that mean there's something wrong with me? I think I like it more than he does, and again, the way people talk, I feel like a freak.

I swear I had more interesting things to say when I was thinking about this last night, but now they escape me....this probably won't be the last time! If I could get my brain screwed on straight, how much easier my life would be....

Happy New Tuesday!
