this made me smile

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink, I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver'."

...So happy 2 of the 3 winter holidays are done with (excluding Valentine's Day in this category). Just have to push through NYE. Accepting it more and more as it gets closer to the day that I a) Don't have a date. 2) Don't have plans (could have paid $60 or more for a party that Sara is going to but I would have been the 5th wheel regardless). c) There's a good chance it'll rain that night, freezing me in my minidress and frizzifying my hair. and 4) Not going out and risking getting a DUI because I had 2 drinks (although that's highly unlikely) and got pulled over and failed my field sobriety and breatalyzer tests.

New year, new attitude - try to battle this temporary depression. Check out Barry's Bootcamp and see if it's worth paying $100 for 5 classes. Possibly discover pole dancing fitness (same price as Barry's rates). Check out women friendly meetup.com groups because let's face it - I'm not hanging out with people from work anytime soon, I have few girlfriends locally (less than I can count on one hand), so this will hopefully encourage me to go out and make a new set of girlfriends. If I meet men, cool, but the whole point is to begin new relationships with women so I can have those special bonds that only exist between women on a friendship level.
