Some ramblings

After being off work since Christmas Eve, the time has come where I must get back to the real world. I go back to work tomorrow, January 5th. As much as I enjoyed my time off, I'm actually looking forward to seeing my co-workers and kids again. But, it is going to be hard to be back into the swing of things. Since I've been on vacation, my whole "schedule" has been off. For example, my eating has kind of gotten out of control. The reason for this is that I have nothing to do, but hang out, so that gives me good reason to eat. Secondly, I have to get used to going to bed early, and getting up early. Last night I went to bed around 2 and got up at 11! Doesn't help the fact that my boyfriend is a night owl and I've spent pretty much my whole vacation at his house!! I do, actually like to have somewhat of a schedule and that will re-start again tomorrow! It HAS to!

Now that being said, like everyone, I'd like to start the year fresh..with healthy eating, exercise, and being around people who make me feel good about myself....speaking of that...

I was actually really bummed after Christmas...and I'm not exactly sure why. My dad said I had the "Post-holiday blues." I think he was right. It's funny how being around certain people can alter your mood and view of yourself... How is it that in the span of two nights, I went from feeling bad about myself, to feeling GREAT about myself? I went from being ignored and pushed aside to being surrounded by people who wanted to talk to me, and were actually interested in what I had to say. I went from feeling like a poor, insignificant girl to feeling like a queen. I know that I haven't lived in other states and countries, and may seem boring to some people, but that does not mean I should just be ignored. I'm a friendly person, who, believe it or not, has a very interesting life and a lot of friends. One of my resolutons for 2009 is to ignore people like that and realize that if people are like that, then it is their loss and I should focus my time on more important things. As my dad says, "Be less affected, and more effective." The bottom line is, I am choosing not to be around people who treat me like that anymore. I'm choosing to be around people who like me for me. People who don't care that I have lived in Cuyahoga Falls my whole life, or have not found that good job yet, or am still living with my mom. If you don't like me, it is your loss.
