Then January hits…
December is full of celebrations, family get-togethers, and days off from work… then January hits and NOTHING is going on.
I distinctly remember spending most of LAST January’s weeknights and weekends on my couch, watching DVDs, and probably eating something.
As awesome as that is, I really hope I don’t let that happen again this year. It’s fun for one day (like yesterday, where I stayed in my pajamas until 8:00 pm when I put on clothes to exercise), but then it just becomes an addicting cycle of doing nothing that makes me feel worse and worse about myself.
I like to have something to look forward to. I know I am supposed to live in the moment and all that, but having something to look forward to gets me going through the day.
So what I am looking forward to this winter?
- Our trip to the Bahamas at the end of January. HA HA, JUST KIDDING! I WISH! HA!
- A (real) trip to Denver to see friends and try skiing for the first time.
- A weekly fencing class that runs until the middle of May.
- A gun safety class in January (okay, I just had to put that one on there to be funny).
- A 4-day weekend in both January and February.
- On-going half marathon training.
- A game night with friends?
- Seeing friends and family? Nothing is set in stone, but I always look forward to that.
Yeah, it’s a pretty lame list, but it’s all I got. Anything on yours? Or are you able to make it through the winter blahs without one?

Oh! Fencing! That sounds awesome. I’m thinking of taking a dance class but I am chicken.
ooooh fencing! all my highschool friends were fencers – they LOVED it. personally i’m starting pottery classes. oh, and aerobic pole dancing. TRUE STORY. i’m not sure i want to announce that on my blog … 🙂
sizzle – Aerobic dance? Ballroom? Swing? Something with the fella? Go for it! They can be really fun
Alice – That is crazy that all of your friends were into fencing! Was it offered at your school? Don’t be ashamed of the pole dancing. It’s not like you’re going out to do it in clubs… are you?! 😛
Wah. When I was on a cruise to the Bahamas, they were still recovering from a hurricane and we couldn’t stop. 🙁
Take me with you on your imaginary trip! 🙂
If you need more friends for a game night, let me know. I love games!
Dave2 – You can come with! Hurriance-free, I promise 😉
tori – Okay! I am going to try to convince diane and E to come out here. It would be fun to play some games with a large group! 😀 😀 😀

=^..^=
Sounds like your list of 2009 activities is pretty cool. Nothing for us until March (which I’ll be revealing where on my blog in a few weeks)
CourtneyInControl – It makes me laugh that YOU are antsy for warmer weather and longer days since you guys don’t even get all the awful snow! 😉 I will keep you updated on the fencing!
martymankins – Thanks. I can’t wait to read what your big reveal is!
