I Want 2006 Back
I’m not ready for 2007. All of the magazines, TV shows and various blogs have done the “2006 Wrap Up.” Me? I’m just not ready for it. I don’t know what it is lately, but I feel like my life is 2 – 3 steps ahead of me and I’m just struggling to run and keep up. Work is fine. It’s just my personal life. It’s like, okay, spring classes start soon. Have I registered yet? No. Or, like, do I wanna make a list of personal goals that I’d like to accomplish this year? Yes. Have I done that yet? No. Do I need to get organized? Yes. Has it happened? No. Do I have a “To Do” list that’s a fuckmile long? Uh-huh. Is anything crossed off on it yet? Nope. I have unanswered emails an telephone calls. And, I haven’t checked my postal mail in a week. So, yeah, you get the point. My personal life is a bit “scattered” at the moment.
Man, I really think I needed an extra week tacked on to the end of 2006. The last week or so that year and these first few days of 2007 have been a whirlwind. There was the flight home for Christmas, the return to New York, and the NYE celebrations with friends. It’s all been a blast. But, I’ve noticed that 2007 has sneaked up on me. I kind of wish that I could feel what the organized and/or anal retentive among us are probably feeling now — “out with the old and in with the new.” For me, for now, I’m running a little behind. It feels more like “still need to hurry up and deal with (or get rid of) the old and get ready for the new.” Hmmmm … maybe I’ll carve out a bit more “organization time” over these next few days and throughout the weekend. Does anyone else out there have this same “I’m behind” feeling right now?

I was just saying the other day that we should have New Year’s in the spring instead of now, and other people seemed to think that was a good idea as well. You could jump on that bandwagon with us, and that would bide you a few months to get things in order. ;-)

Oh yeah, you aren’t alone, FBC! I was thinking that I still have yet to even MAKE too many goals for 2006! Haha! There, doesn’t that make you feel at least a little better? I mean, at least you know what you wanted to accomplish in 2006, even if you didn’t exactly get it all done.
Sheesh…my dad used to say life speeds up when you get older. When the fuck did I get “older,” because I feel like I need a speed bump over here! ;o)
Happy New Year! This will be great for you no matter what. Hang in there and just try to enjoy it!

I totally get what you mean. My internet has been down for the past week or so and now I’ve got an insane amount of email to catch up on, not to mention a whole load of work-stuff I’ve been procastinating for ages now.
Oh well, HNY anyway and congrats on the radio show again! Sorry I can’t be a part of it though:(

I don’t have that I’m Behind feeling, but I am feeling my behind right now. Does that count?

stefanie: Oooooh, I like that idea. Sign me up! :)
AmyD: The years *do* go faster as you get older!!
Matthew: Thanks for the heads up!! I’ve updated my site to let people know that they can now vote for me, again, in the finals. Vote, people, vote!!! :) And, again, thanks goes out to the person(s) who nominated me and voted for me in the nominating round.
Darwin: I’m going to ask the BlogTalkRadio folks if there’s anything that I can do to help you out. Actually, now that I think about it, I could embed a media player that automatically starts the audio when you load the page. Would that help? I’ll try to get to that tonight.
Mist1: Yeah, actually, that counts! :)
Nat: Happy New Year to you, too!!
