It's 2012!

So. I am waiting to make a left turn onto the major street by my house. As I'm waiting, this fool makes a left turn from that major street onto the street I'm waiting on. As he passes me, he blows me a kiss. I think this guy looked about 50. No thank you, not my type.

Anywho. I have one more day left at my current job. That means one more day to make a dent on the couch... one more [weekday] that I can sleep in before going to work. One more day of unhealthy crappy food for dinner. One more day of being cursed at and restraining children. After 1.5 years of working in residential treatment facilities... I can proudly say... I WON'T MISS IT. Ha.

I start a new job on Monday... as a children's case manager in NorthEast Philadelphia. It's a bit more of a drive for me, but I don't mind. I am looking forward to working normal hours like normal people do. I finally have a 9-5 job! Ha. And and and. I get to actually look my age when I'm working. For the majority of my past jobs, I have never been required to dress up for work in the typical business casual that most people my age are dressing up as. I went shopping for my grown up work clothes with Jessica over the weekend... I felt strange in grown up clothes... Like I was just playing dress up! I still have more shopping to do, because I only have about 4 outfits, and unfortunately, there are 5 days in a work week.

So, let's talk about 2012. It's 2012! We're supposed to die this year. So far, I am liking 2012.. I don't want to die just yet. So much more living to do! What do I want to accomplish in 2012?
+ complete a half marathon in under 2 hours and 30 minutes.
+ like my job and stick with it for an entire year.
+ maybe i'll apply to grad school this year.
+ go on a trip. to someplace new.
+ lose the weight I've put on in the past 1.5 years working in stinkin' RTFs.
+ learn a new skill. maybe i'll finally learn how to play poker. or drive a manual car.
+ wear more dresses when the weather is warm.
+ go to Las Vegas. Because, honestly, it has been WAY too long.
+

Readers... or reader. Whoever reads this. What else should I add to my to-do list for 2012? Add your suggestions!!
