A New Year Indeed

This is officially my last day of Winter Break. Tomorrow I'm headed to Dallas for my company's National Conference then its back to the grind until Summer! Winter Break is always my favorite vacation because everyone else is off too. You can totally disengage from work and its OK because everyone else is disengaged too. This break was no different. I so enjoyed the time I spent with my girls, Jay, and the rest of our family. Family is definitely one of the big perks of living in Texas.

Now that it is 2012, I am confused about how I feel. On one hand, I'm excited because it is an election year and my guy, Ron Paul, is doing better than I could have ever expected. I still don't think he will get the nomination and that will ultimately lead to our demise as a country, but I am still elated at the overwhelming support he has and for how far he has come since the 2008 elections. I'm actually making phone calls for his campaign and it is rewarding to give a little back to such an extraordinary man.

On the other hand, I'm very nervous about 2012. Is this the end of the world as we know it? Most laugh at me when I say such things, but I can't help being concerned. The world has been warned for centuries about its impending doom and it just seems to me that all the dooms day predictions are coming true.  Be prepared is all I am saying.

High School.  That's right, Abby will start High School in 2012.  This is something I am totally not ready for and something that came way too fast.  Middle School has been a wild ride, but High School is when you run with the big dogs.  I am nervous for her and petrified for me.  At least I have another 8 months to prepare!

Happy New Year!  Make this one count!
