- get clear skin to be makeup free by summer 2012
- ride bikes moar
Those are the resolutions I have in mind. Eating healthier has been a challenge since Linda has been in town for the past week and we’ve been eating at some of the best restaurants Houston has to offer. I haven’t been to a yoga class this week. I went over my credit limit. My vacation days don’t start till 3 months of full employment. I have gone to bed without washing my face several times this week. I’ve missed out on the first mass ride of the new year. I am failing miserably at this resolutions thing.
I spent my New Years in Austin with a few good friends and counted down to 2012 with Big Freedia at Mohawk. This was my third time seeing the Queen Diva live and it wasn’t the same. Maybe I wasn’t inebriated enough or maybe it was because I wasn’t in the crowd dancing along or maybe his set lacked energy because he didn’t have his dancers there. Meh, either way, I still had a really good start to 2012.
I came back to Houston ready to start my last day at Bounce. It was bittersweet to leave the company because I’ve been with them for 2 years, interned for a year and became a full time employee for a year. It was my first job out of college. It was time to leave though, the energy market just wasn’t for me. I started my new job on Wednesday and I’m loving it so far. Training was a bit overwhelming because I had a lot of information to learn. I will be a lot more busy, which is a good thing. But I could already tell I will love the work I’ll do for the company more.
Two of my really good friends have left/will leave me to find adventures in other cities. I’ve been asked if I will ever leave Houston and my answer is, not anytime soon. I don’t picture myself leaving Houston or Texas. I think the only reason I would leave if it was career oriented and I don’t think that’s going to happen in the near future. I’m just bummed because I have no one to hang out with now other than Johnny. I’ll have to learn how to play xbox and ride bikes more to meet new friends.
