I know the title sounds like this is going to be another negative rant, but really it’s not. Although I have been through a lot this year, for example:
- broke off engagement
- broke up with my off/on-again boyfriend of a year
- broke my leg
- had knee surgery
- still not able to go back to work
- got a DWI
- had to call Daddy/the Preacher & tell him that I was in the county jail
- spent 20 hours in the county jail
- lost my drivers license for 90 days
- had to pay an insane amount of money due to the DWI
- discovered that Craig’s List is not the place to look for a date for Halloween
- was duped by a man-whore
- spent Thanksgiving with my ex-husband and his girlfriend
- had to spend a week and a half with my family for Christmas
Ok, so the last one wasn’t so bad, but still, it put me at my wits end nonetheless.
Now for the “glass is half-full” part.
- another year of school is completed
- started this glorious blog
- created a fledgling website design business
- actually dressed up and had a good time on Halloween
- met a really nice guy that doesn’t mind that I’m a crazy blogging geek
- spent Christmas with my family
- learned that life doesn’t end after getting a DWI and spending 20 hours in the county jail and losing my drivers license for 90 days
- discovered Cee-Lo Green, love that guy’s music
- decided to dye my hair black for the first time ever (I’m tired of being a natural redhead)
- decided to change my college major to something I’ll actually enjoy doing
- discovered that I really do like a lot of rap and R&B
- about to get my drivers license back tomorrow (YAY!)
- got back in touch with old friends
- discovered Glozell Green who always makes me laugh when I need cheering up (I wonder if she’s related to Cee-Lo…lol)
- learned that even two drinks are too many when it comes to drinking & driving
- discovered that I really can overcome anything
- learned to never give up hope
- realized that the Preacher is human too (wasn’t really sure if this was a positive or negative, but decided on positive)
- met and had my picture taken with Hello Kitty…a dream come true!
- did some soul-searching and figured out what really turns me on
- discovered how very important it is to be honest with someone
So see, this really wasn’t an all negative post after all. I have a strange feeling that 2011 is going to be a very good year. Hell, it can’t be any worse than 2010 was, but I’m hoping for bigger & better things in the coming year. 🙂
God bless you all & a belated Merry Christmas to you & Happy New Year!
P.S. Don’t Drink & Drive! 😉
