My last day of 2008 wasn't stellar - but I tracked and I went over my points again today and almost killed all of my weekly points - I'd have been ok if today wasn't an rest day for training, but it is so I move on.
I was going to go to a friends house tonight - but with my car still in the shop and the timing of the party--Charley goes to bed at 7-7:30 and the party was at 8:30 so I'd have had to wake her up to take her to the party then put her back to bed. So I decided to stay home - and am glad I did. Charley is already asleep I can get my post up and then I think I am going to bed. Jimmy is working at the bar tonight - a long night for him - they are open until at least 4 :(
Now for the new year there are a few things I'd like to achieve - I am not going to go into weight etc...because that is not on my list. Here is what is:
- I want to be healthy and be able to keep up with everything that Charley is going to bring to us this year
- I want to finish my 1/2 marathon in March
- I want to complete another (or two) Sprint Triathlons this year
- I want to purge our house of all the necessary clutter - It would make our live so much more relaxing if we didn't have so much stuff and could find things when we need them
- I want to help Charley grow into a wonderful, caring, responsible, little girl
- I want to take every possibility that 2009 brings and live it to the fullest!
Well today was my last day at work it was kind of bittersweet - there was really no one in the office, which was probably a good thing, because I am going to miss everyone there very much - they were all amazing and great coworkers - I can honestly say - the best I have ever worked with...but I must move on.
My new boss called me today and told me how excited he is that I am coming there next week - so that is good. It is just hard going in and not knowing anyone and not knowing the environment. I have to go back to my old office next Friday for my official goodbye - so I will at least get to see and say goodbye to everyone I missed due to the holidays, so that will be nice.
I did come home to something that made me a little excited about my new job - a big FedEx package from them. I was saying to Jimmy tonight on our drive home how I hadn't heard from the people at my new job and had no idea what time I had to be at the office etc (the contracting company that I am working for is having me come to their office for inprocessing on Monday - so I won't actually be working with the people I meet there - just working for them). And so when I got home and saw the big box and in it was a really nice coffee (or in my case tea) travel mug, a big huge leather binder/portfolio, with a really nice pen and it was filled with a schedule of everything that I am doing and need to have done before I go on Monday! It is all really nice, laid out and they seem like a pretty squared away company. It is great to go from working for the past 2 companies I have worked for - which were a little less desirable in this department - to a great company. It seems like this is a major step in the right direction for my career and our future. So 2009 HERE I COME!!!

Sounds like you too, will be adding to the windfall Goodwill is about to receive... So woo hoo! let's de-clutter and get organized. I plan to get started on Monday.
That is so adorable that they sent you a package of fun work related stuff! Is it wrong that I am obsessed with travel mugs (and don't drink coffee) and office supplies?!?! Also, I love all of your goals for the new year. You can totally accomplish all of that! You're well on your way with your training for the 1/2!
Happy New Year Carrie!! You are such a wonderful momma! Charley is a very lucky girl to have such a caring momma like you!
How awesome for you rnew job to send you that package!
And I'm gonna start training ... for something lol I'm not sure if it's a half/full marathon or sprint tri, but I know I will do SOMETHING in 2010 and will train all year to get into the best possible shape for it!
Have a WONDERFUL day - can't wait to hear how the 5K went!
I did my resolution run last night - and we ended up having great weather for it - it was a blast! Have fun on yours!
Good luck with the new job. I have never worked for a company where a package came with things to do before I started work!
