2008 - 4 years closer to the end of the Mayan calendar
2008 - 1 year more that I haven't touched my $800 bike
2008 - another year of 'gumballs' dropping out of my uterus
2008 - the year I start coloring my hair every 5 weeks instead of six
2008... okay, okay... I can't help myself... as much as I LOVE a new year and new goals and new adventures and new hopes and new dreams and new this and new that I also realize I'm getting steps closer to... what? What am I getting closer to? What is it that I fear about another year? What is it?! Is it the thought that I may not accomplish everything I want before I die? And what do I want to accomplish that I think I can't in lets say the next 40 years? What is it that makes me have a small panic attack if I think about it too long? I'm kinda a lazy person; I don't think I have enough goals to last 10 years let alone 40... so goodbye fear and hello life! Hello 2008!! (I'm a bit weird, huh?)(and possibly a bit contradictory to my previous resolution blog - ah, who cares)
This year I'm going to...
Physical: detox my body. I just got off the phone with a friend who is starting a detox. I'm doing it. I struggle so much with fatigue and I'm tired of it. T-I-R-E-D. I must have a food allergy or am missing something entirely in my diet that makes me so fatigued. Food gives us energy. There is a solution.
Temporal: Be more dedicated at work. Duh, right? I've slacked off the past couple months and I need to turn that around before my boss notices :)
Social: Get involved in classes through the UNLV outreach program. I wanted to start with photography but the class is full. I'm going to start with watercolor painting.
Spiritual: Rededicate myself to church. This is always a circular path for me. I do well for a few months and then slack off for a few months. Time to do well again. I'm camp director for the youth group this summer (way excited about it) and need to get spiritually ready for it.
Emotional: Exercise. To me, this is the perfect category for exercise. Just as Reese Witherspoon's character in Legally Blonde said "exercise gives you endorphins; endorphins make you happy; people who are happy don't go around killing other people." Don't worry, I've never thought about killing anyone but it was part of the quote and necessary for the full effect.
I love to exercise (liar!). I love to feel the after effects of exercising. Reason enough to do it!
Cheers to 2008!
Oh and here is a cute pic of my NYE 2007.

Great post, Erin. Though you're pretty terrific as is, so perhaps that is why it is hard to think of goals for the next 40 years :).
Welcome 2008!
Congratulations! 2008 is going to suck. My single goal is to become a bum. I was thinking about moving to LV and mooching off you but then decided that all "pro" bums live in NY so im headed there! ADIOS
