I am proud to say that I've already started working on my personal goals for 2007. I went downtown with my work boyfriend yesterday. We went to this really awesome steakhouse on 6th called Ruth Chris. I think that was the best steak I've ever had. We did some wine tasting while we were there, and I drank almost an entire glass of wine. Hey, don't judge, those glasses were as big as my face!
I did, however, pass up the perfect picture taking night tonight. I kept reminding myself to bring my camera to Dedication Dinner, but it seems I'm not very good at minding me. We ate at Mike's El Ranchero on South Lamar. The food was pretty good, the place was well decorated, and the staff working that night were great. There were one or two hot guys running around the place, and this is where I miss my camera the most! Oh well, I'm two for three attempted so far. At least that's positive odds!

2006... A Brief History
It's hard to believe that 2006 has come and gone. I have so many great memories, I don't know where to start. I traveled to 6 states all over the country, some business and some pleasure. I went to New York to take the Police Officer exam and just to go to NYC, Maryland for parents' weekend at the Naval Academy to see my little brother, California for two Chick-fil-A grand openings, Colorado to visit a friend, Louisiana to teach at the Carthage High School band camp, and Georgia for a marketing class at the Chick-fil-A home office. Throughout the year, some friendships were created, some strengthened, others renewed, and sadly, a couple dwindled away. The year saw two marriages within my friends, and another engagement. And on that note, I look to the future.
I have come up with my personal goals for 2007. I don't believe in new years resolutions, mostly because no one ever accomplishes their resolutions. And because I am not resolving myself to these hardships, I am personally choosing these goals. Yeah, I know its all a matter of perspective, but looking at it this way greatly increases my chances of reaching those goals. (It also helps that most of them are fun!)
Personal Goal #1: Get Organized
This is probably the most overused resolution or goal, but it is tried and true and unfortunately, all too necessary. I'm tired of a messy apartment, and I'm convinced after watching countless HGTV shows that being organized will make my apartment magically stay clean!
Personal Goal #2: Get Out More
This is one of the fun goals! No more staying home with my dog and reading a book every night. (Think of the money I'll save on books!) I'm going to get out of the house more and actually live my life! At least once a week, I'm gonna at least go sit in a bar and have a drink, which leads me to...
Personal Goal #3: Acquire a Taste for Wine
I have this image in my head of the perfect relaxing evening. I'm laying back in a comfy chair, curled up with a good book, some jazz or big band music playing in the background, and a big glass of wine close at hand. I'm determined to learn to love wine. Hey, I'm looking out for my health here. A glass of wine a day is supposed to be good for you. Not to mention the stress-release side-effects!
Personal Goal #4: Take More Pictures
I have a pretty good digital camera that I got when I graduated college over a year ago, and I intend to put it to good use. Plus its so much easier to explain things, or just tell a story if there are corroborating pictures. And getting out more should provide me with photo ops! And finally, last but not least....
Personal Goal #5: Exercise More
Ok, so this is probably the most common phrase uttered in any given January when discussing plans for the future, but I'm sticking with it. I have always been involved in some sort of activity or organization that kept me active. Until this past year, that is. Now I need to get in the habit of working out. That means getting off my lazy ass and actually doing stuff. See, I'm trying to help myself out, seeing as reading a book isn't exactly considered a strenuous activity!
So here's to 2007, may it be a year of excitement and fun, filled with new friends and old with plenty of pictures to help me remember all the good times, and a relaxing glass of wine at the end of 365 amazing days.
