I've made some adjustments in 2011. Accomplished some goals. Left behind some more drama and unnecessary people.
Now I'm looking forward to 2012. I'm looking forward to conquer more goals. I want to travel more. On my list so far is the Bahamas, DC and NY. If I can, I'll squeeze in N.O. and another trip to Miami. I still need to head to the west coast since I still haven't been that way yet but I'll save that for later. I have to get my bestie over her fear of flying.
Now that I have my apartment, I'm looking forward to some wheels. Marta takes up a lot of time in transit between work and home. That's why I hardly go anywhere else. In this city, you NEED a frickin' car.
I've caught up on my student loans and got myself out of default. Next step, school. Since I just moved, it ain't happening in January. But I'll be damned if summer comes and goes before I get into somebody's class. I got a degree to finish working for and a stage to cross, and I'm not stopping until that happens.
I know I said I gave up on love but there seems to be this little small teeny tiny part of me that keeps holding on to it. I need to get "love" out of my system completely. I don't see love in my future at all. Mostly, because I refuse to open myself up to the possibility ever again. I'm perfectly content with myself.
And I'm going to make working out an everyday priority. Well...almost every day. I've been slowly slimming down a bit so it's time to get started again. Need to tone up and get rid of some man boobs and love handles. Oh and I have to work on the ass a little more. I don't have a damn half a cake back there at the moment.
I may get a second job. Or maybe find one that pays more my worth and skill. I do love the hotel business though. Especially at a hotel in the middle of Midtown Atlanta.
And lastly, I might try this grindr thing out again and open myself to meeting people. Not for hook up reasons either. It seems that's all the gays are looking for these days.

Alone at Christmastime
This is my first Christmas alone. Ever.
Moving into my new place this week is the reason I'm not going home this year. Moving makes you broke.
My mom, sister and niece would have come but they're not able to make it, unfortunately. And my bestie here doesn't celebrate for religious reasons. Plus we both don't have funds to go out lol.
But oh well. All I'll be doing is sleeping, eating pizza, calling the fam and watching movies on my laptop.
There's no Christmas spirit around me at all.
The bright side...NO SNOW!!
So Merry Christmas and all that shit to y'all.

Mission Accomplished...
So I got my own place...finally.
Earlier this week, I finally made the move to accomplish a goal I set for myself earlier in the year. It took some time and research, especially since I needed a place on a MARTA route that could get me to work on time but I made it happen. Of course, there was a little adjustment to that plan that I was hoping to go for but obstacles hindered that, unfortunately.
It's my very first time having a place of my own, for myself by myself. And I am PROUD of myself.
It's really quiet though. TOO quiet.
Thank goodness I have a laptop and a USB wifi thingy for some "innanets".
I have no television or furniture though. May get the TV someday soon. Furniture's coming for free though, lol.
In the meantime, I'll just lay here in the middle of my living room floor on a pallet and come up with color schemes for each room...
Side note: I really wish I could have been able to go the roomie route with one of my best buddies...because it's just TOO quiet lol.
