I Don't Know How to Quit You, Blog

...and yet I do quit, for months on end, while I still manage to make enough time in my day to read what so many other people write on a daily basis. I have been caught up, in a strange and stalker-like way, into the world of infertility blogs, twins/triplets/quads/quints bloggs, cooking blogs, knitting blogs, blogs of people I know through people, super famous blogs, juicy celeb gossip...you name it, and I can name for you several dozen blogs in the chosen category.

Kind of sick.

It's addicting. It's how I distract myself between my homework, shifts at the hospital, the housework that I hate doing.

2008 came in with a whimper for me, seeing as how I entered the year with a broken arm and a bad attitude (thanks to the First and Last Great Snowboarding Trip of 2007). But I am actually very excited about this year and all the surprises ahead. Please see my list:

THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN 2008

1) Spring. Um, please hurry up because this winter has been horrible and I am sick of sliding down my sidewalk and using chains to get my car out of a parking spot on a FLAT street in a MAJOR US CITY.

2) Graduation. After 4.5 years of straight up gettin' edju-ca-ted, I am done and would like to move on to the next phase of my life. Straight up getting PAID.

3) Getting a J-O-B. Please see above.

4) 3 Year Anniversary. Joshua and I will celebrate three whole years of marital bliss and bitching about who does the dishes this May and I could not be happier (when he does the dishes). No, I really am thrilled.

5) Passing NCLEX. Graduating and getting a job will be slightly less exciting if I cannot get a license to actually work as a nurse. That is generally looked down up and frankly illegal.

6) Running a half marathon in California. My current best run ever has been about 2 miles of sheer, dyspneic terror. So this will be an accomplishment for the ages.

7) Everything else that I can't possibly imagine yet.

It's two months in...and I guess I'm feeling pretty good about 2008.
