post holiday ramblings

I’m still alive and kicking in this post-Christmas euphoria. My holiday was pretty low-key. My mom came up to hang out with me for a few days, which allowed me to spend my first Christmas in New York. I decided to really get into the spirit of the holiday by getting a live Christmas tree for my place. I was actually pretty proud of my little green sprout (well not so little, it’s taller than me and is kind of fat) which I garnished with my own decorations. Oh, how I love my little tree! Here he is, though I guarantee that he looks much better in person!

Mom and I didn’t do much; pretty much lounged around the apartment and using my tree as a type of fireplace. We’re pretty non-traditional when it comes to celebrating the holidays.

Aside from that, I’ve been winding down, surviving work and mulling over my New Year’s resolutions. For one, I’m hoping that now that I have wireless connection, I will blog and be more productive as I sit in the comfort of my living room in front of the tele. I also have some art/business ideas that I would like to put into practice that I plan on finding a way of working on every day.

After briefly watching Waiting to Exhale for like the millionth time and eagerly changing the channel to something less depressing like Law & Order SVU, I am rethinking my dating strategy for the new year. I’m kinda through with Match. I tried it out of convenience but I’ve gotten so bored with the idiots that keep landing in my inbox. I’m really wondering what it’s going to take to find that right someone but I’m sure I’ll figure it oiut so I’m not going to kvetch about it anymore.

So anyway, that’s that for now. I’m starting to sleep into that couch-surfing drowsy stupor. Ciao for now!
