Ahhhhhhh...sign of a good vacation: when over 1/3 of your laundry is pajamas. I think I spent over 75% of the last week and a half either sleeping or laying in bed reading. Of course, I managed to counteract a lot of that rest by not going to bed 'til after 1 last night. Can't say it's good to be back, although part of me did miss seeing the sunrise. Have to focus on the fact that's it's 2003, the year that I get out of town. Woo-hoo!

Due to my vacation and my total inability to accomplish anything useful I neglected the obligatory Christmas and New Year posts. Although, quite truthfully, I'm not sure if they can legitimately be considered "useful."

Christmas was good. I wasn't sick this year which was an added bonus. I got stuff, I gave stuff, stuff was exchanged. Most of my stuff was books, movies and CDs. Not that I'm predictable or use the Amazon wishlist feature or anything like that.

Saw several movies over the break. Catch Me If You Can, Two Towers and (forgive me) Two Weeks Notice. In my own defense, I did not buy the tickets for that one. It was my parents. It was exactly what you would expect, but sometimes you need that. Two Towers was also exactly what you would expect plus some (so not exactly then). The only problem I had with it? TWELVE FRICKIN' MONTHS!! Patience is not one of my virtues seeing as they're so few and far between. Catch Me if You Can was a pleasant suprise. I am not a Leo fan. Best part of Titanic was that he died. But this, this was an entertaining film. I highly recommend it.

New Years was an adventure. I went to my friends house as I was repeatedly told that there was to be a party. Guess what? No party. In fact, no friend. She was with her boyfriend and another couple in Idaho Springs. So instead I went to Old Town with her roomates. Fitting, I suppose, that my last New Year's in Ft Fun was my first in Old Town. We just hit a couple bars, watched the fireworks, rang in the New Year, yada yada yada. Of course we had to walk home as we were too drunk to drive and there was a two hour wait for cabs. I was not wearing good walking shoes. I have a blister bigger than a quarter on my heel. It hurts...a lot.

Really not much else. 2002 kind of ended how it was for me, quietly without any real fanfare. So my hopes/resolutions for 2003:

*Get into grad school
*Save more money
*Get out of town
*Get to the gym more often
*Spend more time on my writing
*Leave Ft. Fun
*Spend less time on the computer (outside of work, kind of have to use it on the job)
*Stop buying as many books - try to get the buying to reading ratio a little more even
*Move back East

Did I mention this is the year I want to get away from CO? Yeah, that's the big goal. Even if I don't get accepted (knock on wood that I do) I'm packing up and moving. I have enough in savings and it's WAY past time.
