Woah, I can’t even believe the year is over as of midnight tonight.
Insane.
Don’t throw stones, but I kinda liked 2009.
First of all, it was my first full year without ANY anxiety.
Hallelujah Jesus.
And Lexapro.
{Gotta give credit where credit is due ya know?}
Although, I do wonder if perhaps it’s time I try life without it….
hmmm….
Not to mention it was my first year of being in my 30’s and I freaking loved it.
Love getting older.
Not looking older, mind you.
But being older.
I also finally faced some of my stuff, and got busy taking care of it.
{Still taking care of it.}
It certainly wasn’t the easiest year ever, but overall I think I handled it well.
If I do say so myself…
Oh, and here’s a big one.
2009 brought me Glee.
My soul mate of a tv show if there ever was one.
I die.
Love you madly Glee.
Forever and ever.
Amen.
I also made and fostered some incredible friendships….
Life is just that much better with them in my life,
AND
In 2010, I’ve heard there are GREAT chances I might get to see 2 of the three!!!
{Laceyloowho, you better jump on the bandwagon!}
Speaking of Twenty Ten….
Kinda excited about that as well.
Big Plans!
~Getting my tattoo Jan 30, of which I have already placed a deposit on so there will be NO backing out.
{Oh my word!}
And it may look a little something like this,
{My branch of words instead saying: He will bring beauty from my pain.}
with a little bit of this…
{birds for my passed away dad & grandparents…miss them always}
With added flowers, two, one for each of my beauties.
somewhere around this area….
{Kinda wondering though if I will switch to just one shoulder….}
{all 3 images via}
Ahhhh!!!!
The pain!
The beauty.
Get it?
Beauty from Pain?
N.E.WAYS.
~Going on vacay to Miami with my man…without kids!
What what?
I can’t wait to bust out Miami fashion over there!!!
{What is Miami fashion, besides BIG boobs? Cause of that, I have none.}
~Another trip home to see my sissies and nieces and nephew.
Highlight of my summer fo sho.
~Move?
Kinda tired of these apartments.
Maybe we need to buy again.
We’ll see.
~Send my oldest off to KINDERGARTEN!!!
SHUT UP!!!
That is just INSANE!
Yet, as sad as I may be….I will be equally as happy, because silence is golden.
And that’s about all I have planned, the rest….
I’ll take as it comes.
I massively hope I continue to grow and bond with you guys,
because every year that comes and goes,
that is always always one of my greatest highlights.
So, much much love to ya’ll,
each and every one….
and yes, even to you…
wink wink.
Have an Ah-Mazing New Years Eve!!!

Superchick. Me, too.

I linked into this post through CJane, and “got” so much of it that I just had to respond!
Firstly: Lexapro = Lifesaver! I have had anxiety my entire life, and was always pretty prone to panic attacks. I was put on any combination of drugs throughout the years (starting at 13, which irks the hell out of me now… what 13 year old girl isn’t a little anxious/depressed? You give her that label though, and tell her she needs drugs [and then get her hooked on said drugs] and it becomes an almost impossible cycle to break… but I am a psych major, and I have issues with psychotropic’s and teenagers, so don’t let me make this about my soap box!), but was finally put on Lexapro in my early twenties. It was the first time in my life I felt “normal” and able to cope, and it gave me the clear head space I needed to pack up all that baggage and craziness in the first place. I was on it for almost 2 years before I had the courage to go drug free. It’s been almost 4 years since then, and I am here to tell you that I am happy, healthy, and free, and I really don’t think that would have ever been possible without Lexapro. I still get anxious, and worry about things more than I should (and every once in a great while I will have to fight off an approaching panic attack), but I am so much better at calming myself down than I ever would have thought possible, so YAY for drugs that can change your life!
Second: I heart Glee. In a way that is not necessarily “normal” and that I am almost embarrassed to admit! I was voted “Most Likely To Be Famous” in high school (I have since moved to Anchorage, AK, so clearly I took that talent and threw it far far away! ), and Glee reminds me of every second I adored spending on stage and being someone else (at a time when I was popular, and successful, but didn’t so much like being me). Plus, I am a horrendous singer (I got by in school on acting talent, and the voices of others!), so I am always impressed by people who have the musical ability I lack, and those kids give me goose bumps every episode!
Finally: Is this going to be your first tattoo? I got my first (two) this last year on my wrists. Nothing too crazy; just simple, elegant, words I needed reminders of (and conflicting themes in my life that I would like to coexist a little better), but… They are my favorite thing ever! I still get happy when I look down and see them, and they were the perfect therapy for what has been a rough year! I’ve wanted something forever, but always said I would never get one unless it was something I could be proud of and relate to even when I was old and wrinkly, and these do it for me! Anyway, I think your idea is brilliant, and I hope you become as fond of yours as I am of mine!
Going OFF the meds that have made life better is highly overrated……….I’m just saying…
That tattoo literally made me gasp, it’s gorgeous, I can’t wait to see the finished result!
Happy New Year to you and yours. I hope you all have a lovely evening and a prosperous 2010.
I too liked 2009 for my son was born and I also overcame years of issues. Well it is and always will be a daily battle but am getting there.
Love the tatoo ideas but personally I would go for the bottom of your neck as the one shoulder thing can sometimes look a lil off! But you will look fab wherever you get it. Good luck.
Best Wishes
xx
I LOVE Superchic(k)!
It does sound that 2009 was a great year for you. I LOVE Glee and can’t wait for it to return this spring! Happy New Year.
I can’t wait to see the tattoo! I have one on my right shoulder and I love it, but I think it would be cute either way!
I love GLEE and have been jamming out to the soundtracks since xmas!
I hope 2010 is great for you, sounds like it will be!
Wow what a couple of minds that think alike….i kid u not i was looking at butterfly tattoos last night to add onto the one on my shoulder….crazy shit! And I was going to post about it but not now…I don’t want anyone thinking I copy them….it really is weird that so many of us think and post similar stuff sometimes. I truly couldn’t be more happier to start a new year. It’s going to be great! Happy New Year:)
ah. NO anxiety. I take a truck load of lexapro type meds and I doubt I’ll ever be able to say that. I have anxiety over just taking the meds.
I am so glad to have ‘met’ you and am looking forward to the new year and getting to know you even more.
happy new year.
Am I the only one without tattoos? I thought about getting one but MH didn’t like that idea.
I’m in the first week of changing anxiety meds myself and yuck, hate the light headedness…
It does sound like you had a pretty good 2009. I hope your 2010 is even better!
I can’t wait to see your tattoo. I need to step it up and get mine done too.
I hope that you have a fabulous trip to Miami.
Happy New Year.
Oh and you forgot to list me as one of the fabulous friends that you made. I totally forgive you. 😉
that ink is going to look awesome! it’s beautiful! you’ll have to post pics!
happy happy new year to you!!!
Happy New Years lovely lady 🙂
It’s going to be a great year… or at least I am kinda counting on that!
I am hoping for an anxiety free year – a full anxiety free year. This year I finally (after five years) weaned myself off of an antidepressant/anxiety med… I thought I was ready, wasn’t, but have my friend ativan if things get bad. (Once a month maybe! lol) Anyway, thought I would share that I hope you can get there!!! I know you can.
And yes, Glee. Oh I am have a mad mad crush. I love it. LOVE. And can’t wait for April 🙂
Happy happy New Year!
Happy New year!!
Happy New year!!
Glad you had such a great 2009. Here’s to 2010!
Have a Happy New year!!! Love the tattoo, I have one in the works, but since I have been knocked up or nursing, minus that week in Mexico (which would be to blame for this new bundle of Joy) I havent been able to get it! Love the tree idea, AWESOME! I have 2 already and love them. I know, I dont strike as the tattoo type huh? i love mine though and they are SOOO addictive. Such a great way to express. I wish you a wonderful 2010! Glad you liked 2009, I am on the opposite end. I want to tell her “ya dont have to go home, but ya cant stay here!” Ha.
All the best and love!
Have a great trip!!
Oh – and can’t wait to see the tattoo…it sounds like it will be a beauty!!
