January

Well, my January so far has been tremendous. I really have very little to complain about, surprisingly. Nothing, in particular, is super surprising, but all around good. I just can’t believe new years have come and gone. My birthday has come and gone, Which was filled with lots of laughter and smiles. There may have been alcohol involved and possible almost getting kicked out of a museum.  I just wish this horrible weather could be just gone.

With the new year, I am trying to have a positive outlook on things. Mainly because I realized at the end of last year, that being contrary was doing me no good. Most of all, not forcing things. Relationships nor friendships. If you want to hang out with me, then do it, but just like dating – I am not going to beg you. Merely no exchanged should ever be forced, even at work. You should be able to be mature enough to say what you need to say, respectively. Just be mindful of the filter we all carry, and not be like the Chief of State. It is really all about communication and having the balls to speak your mind when you should.

Ok so let’s discuss my birthday for a hot second. Turning 33 wasn’t really on my radar. I usually have a plan and a hotel reservation, this year it was entirely last minute. Thankfully a handful of my friends and coworkers came thru and had a lovely brunch and a great afternoon with me. We went to Liberty Kitchen for brunch and then went to go see the Oscar De La Renta exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts. I must say I haven’t laughed so much as I did that afternoon, we were absolute mayhem. I also did have a great guy stay with me this weekend, it’s very new but significant, so that’s is as far as I will say. I am super grateful I found him and hopefully, things will last.

For now, it is back to the grind. Keeping up with my diet, which I must say it is going well. School has started, so sadly that is all I will be doing this coming weekend, Economics. And of course, the daily mom duties of laundry cleaning and grocery store runs.

XOXO
