another chapter in my life closes last week, the chapter called Tirty Tree.

33 was a good year:
i acquired a dog, BRIEFLY dated a boy, bought and paid off my furniture and televisions, switched cell phone carriers, became an aunt for the 3rd and 4th times, bought a new lappy, re-did my website, went to mexico, chicago, boston (many times), NYC (a few times), PA (many times), NH, Gettysburg, saw the flight of the conchords, new kids on the block, mike doughty, and boys II men in concert, replaced my dishwasher, bought a christmas tree, a lawn mower, had easter kelly style, won some cash awards for my artwork, and showed a piece in a real museum, started and finished a painting, handmade my christmas cards, discovered MadMen, realized i should avoid eating wheat, went to a red sox/phillies game in PA, saw a game at the new yankee stadium, attended a family reunion and got to spend a lot of time with my aunts and uncles, went to another Fischer wedding, lost a set of car keys, had some great times in syracuse with KW, picked & canned tomatoes, won a prize in a halloween costume contest, got a promotion, took the first step in accepting that i might not have kids, saw a play on Broadway…

this next year i’d like to focus on my health.. i need to become more active, i am basically a sloth right now, and i think keeping up that behavior is going to result in a very short life span. along with becoming more active, i’d like to lose 70lbs by the time i turn 35. i also need to get a grip on my nutrition, i have discovered that i have some digestive issues and i need to take that more seriously.

i’d also like to see a patriots game this year, and use my 2 “companion” passes from US Airways.. the past 2 years i have not taken advantage of them.. i think a trip to portland, oregon is in order! who’s with me?!

so. i see good things to come. here’s looking forward to a great 34th year… and what better way to kick that off then with a jersey shore birthday bash with friends and family? there is no better way!

i’ll post my photos from this weekend tomorrow.
