"525,600 minutes, how do you measure a year..."

Well Christmas has come and gone and ringing in the New Year is only days away. I seem to always reflect at this time of the year and think, did I make any changes, do anything exciting this year? Yeah...there were a few things that I can look back on and be proud of. Which is always a good feeling going into a new year.

I'm going to start 2006 off as an auntie...which is cool. My first neice or nephew. And it's all becoming so real...a baby seat, clothes and cradle in the house really changed the feeling of a house which has had only adults living it in for the past few years. Ok, my bro isn't a total adult, but he's trying. And being a daddy will make him grow up mighty quick! LOL

I've tried my hand at a few new career choices which has made the decision for what I want to be when I grow up even harder. Growing up sucks. I wish I would have appreciated how simple life was when I was a kid. How I wish I could take back the summers when Sharon and I tried to schedule almost every afternoon off of our jobs so we could spend it floating in my pool, at the beach or shopping. Ahh...the days. Think my new job will give me every afternoon off in the summer? Meh....summer can't be that busy in a tourist bureau.

Or how my biggest concern was where we were gonna party on the weekends and the only stressful thing I had to coordinate was how we were all gonna get there. Now since most of my greatest friends have spread themselves out all over the world, keeping in touch seems like it's damn near impossible somedays. But, I guess, it makes the times we do see each other that much more entertaining!

Either way...as another year approaches us...I want to say Happy New Year and I hope that 2006 brings lots of love, luck and happiness to those who are close to our hearts - no matter how far away!
