I shut down my other blog. Didn't take it offline, because I don't want it to disappear...just felt it was time to close it. Have nothing of interest to say lately and I feel I was just writing for the hell of writing.

I will never close this blog. This is my dumping ground. Even though I went for an entire month with nothing to say, it comforts me to know it is there.

The holidays were the holidays. I can't stand them. I am a huge grinch. I hate Christmas and all the phony bullshit that accompanies it. It's just another day to me. I tell my husband to never buy me any gifts for it...because I feel like a hypocrit.

New Years, however, is a holiday that I do look forward to. We always have a good time on New Years and for me, it feels like its a second chance. For what, I don't quite know. Just feels like a good time to start over. I didn't do much in the way of resolutions, except to quit smoking. Frankly, I don't know why I even started. 42 years of my life without them and then suddenly, I think its a good idea. Never really know why. Just did it. Started on February 23rd of last year. I refused to let it be a full year that I smoked. I put the shit down and I hopefully will not pick it up again. I don't really feel like I was addicted so much as it was just a habitual thing.

Anyway, I hope this will be a better year for me. And for you.
