For one thing, My Gym Frederick is closing. Crap on a stick! This was just awful news to get on New Year's Eve and then after trying to push it from you mind and just enjoy the last few days of the holiday before returning back to work, walking in and seeing the announcement in your inbox! I mean, c'mon! How awful is that?!
Because of it, Alice will be going to Owings Mills which is an hour drive sometimes more if the traffic gets backed up and I will be in Columbia, which is a forty-five minute drive. Both of these drives are taking us away from our 5 minute (and that's if there's traffic and we miss the light) commute from our home currently. We will miss you Frederick. If anyone is looking to buy a Gym right now please let me know! We can save Frederick!
There have been a couple other things that have happened but I'm not entirely sure I want to write about them quite yet just because of who may be reading this or who may be reading this and tell certain people about this and then they read this. A little more complicated than it should be!
Resolutions? What wonderful things are we going to promise to do and then fail miserably at? Well, for the last couple of years I have made a resolution to be nicer to others. Two years ago it was be more appreciative of my parents and last year it was be nice to others. Last year's probably last five minutes until I was fed up with someone and completely verbally abused them. I might have made them cry. I'm not sure these days. The point is that this year, my resolution is to put myself in another's shoes. And if I were in those person's shoes and I had the comments that come out of my mouth directed at me, would I appreciate that? And if the answer is no than I have to keep my mouth shut! It's a very hard experiment to try. But I'm hoping that this is a better way to follow through with my resolutions and a better way to be nicer to people. I just think that my sarcasm has gotten out of control like a meth addiction and I'm no longer in control of what I say. This is my rehab. Although it might turn out I walk out the very next day and say, "hell, I'll quit anytime I want to!" but for right now I'm enjoying this social experiment.
Other than that, 2010 has been quite busy. Lots of family time and lots of time spent with friends. The last month of Frederick has been incredibly sad with parent's coming up and demanding that we stay open, condolences on closing and well wishes. I'm hoping that we can work something out and that perhaps there is a proverbial light in the tunnel. I keep thinking, "i could get a loan and buy Frederick and be the hero! I can do it!" Needless to say, Alice has me on a very tight leash to stop me from rushing into anything. But closing a Gym is very emotional and it's only been 3 days since we've announced it! I can't bear the thought of that last day!
I will write more this year. THat is a goal of mine. I really want to continue to update this blog over and over again. My other goal is to work on my book! And some of the things that I want to put into it I'm taking out of this blog so I think it would be best to actually start writing more and using it more. Other than that, I'll chat soon!
