orangerfulOh, hi 2011. No, don't get up, you're looking a bit rough around the edges, just one single day left for you and then it's all over. So please, don't over exert yourself.
You've been an interesting year. So many ups and downs, though I really only posted ups on here. I'm sorry I wasn't more honest with you, 2011. I really just wanted to forget my past this year and embrace a new me and I think I might have gone a little bit overboard with the embracing. I know my bank account is still swooning from the trips to Boston, London, Maine, Bermuda, and Georgia, along with other random concerts and such. It was worth it, though, don't get me wrong, lots of memories that I will have forever! But I think I need to be a bit more selective next year when it comes to spending huge wads of cash. Try to start paying attention to my bills now that I'm on my own.
I'm not really big on resolutions but I do have a few things I really want to do next year. 2012, I'm talking to you now. I know you're waiting in the wings to jump in and take over, but let's just get some things straight. I want 2012 to be a good and honest year. You're gonna be honest with me, right 2012? Let's not keep any secrets from each other or our friends. New rule - if you don't feel comfortable blogging about it or tweeting it, then you probably shouldn't do it. Seems good yeah?
Other than that, my goals are to continue to see my parents at least once a month. The visits did me good. And I'm going to add in to that a monthly dinner with my brother, who I would really like to get to know better and that's hard to do when you're sitting around the dinner table with the family and want to talk about life stuff.
That's it. Figured I would keep it simple - be more honest and reconnect with my brother.
Think you can handle that 2012? 2011 wasn't quite up for the challenge, but I like the look of you.
