So...I've been trying to be less obsessed with email/Facebook/texting...It's not a New Year's resolution because I started before January rolled around...before Christmas actually... But I'm shutting down my computer and turning off my phone for at least 1 hour every day. Some days it is painful...
About half way through my hour this evening I saw something I wanted to share with a friend...I reached for my phone...and then with a horrific sinking feeling I remembered...I had to wait. OMG...torture. The clock moved soooo slowly! I had actual anxiety! Can I get a prescription for Xanax to cope with technology withdrawals?
Of course, the hour passed....I survived....and I haven't really heard from anyone since I turned everything back on anyway... Hmmm.... pathetic.

Bring it on 2012!!
Ok! It's almost 2012..and I am 40 years old! Weird thing is...I LOVE IT!! Something happened when I turned 40...it was like magically I began to embrace and really enjoy life. I am sure part of it is having great friends who give me something to look forward too... (Much better than my 30's when I had pretty much isolated myself and definitely felt the impact of that for the entire decade).
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve...and I am going OUT! I haven't gone out to celebrate New Years in over a decade and a half. It was always so depressing to me... No one to kiss at midnight. Single, pathetic woman all alone... Then I hit 40 and realized....I spent a decade and a half waiting for "the one" to come and make my life worth fully living... And it turns out - my life could have been fantastic the entire time - even without Mr. Right.
Now, I AM taking baby steps. It's not like I am going out to some big fancy party somewhere. I am going to C's garage party. I am not going to stumble upon the man of my dreams there, for sure....but this is NOT about finding a man to fulfill me. This is about loving the life I have right now....with my friends. How lucky am I? Bring it on, 2012...I look forward to what you have in store :)
