Here is my list of New Years Resolutions:
First foremost and most importantly:
Contentment in all things...if I achieve this then all the rest will fall into place.
Contentment that I am where I am supposed to be with my job, that another door will open when the time is right for me to leave.
Eat healthier and Exercise more (yada yada yada - same as every other american in this world).
Listen more to the kids.
Fix up my house....gotta love that paycheck, eh?....learn contentment...
Read less about art and work more on creating it!
Draw more, and doodle even more.
Work hard at getting my sense of humor back....maybe I should hang around LuAnn more...she makes me laugh!
Never make a list of New Years Resolutions again...ha ha! This is the first one I have ever made in my whole life. I always thought they were a colossal waste of time. ha ha. So there you have it.

So Sweet!
I have had the whole week off from work. It has gone by way too fast. But it has been the best week I have had in a long time! I have thoroughly enjoyed myself.
One bit of an update on what is happening in my life. I found out the last day of the semester, the last test of the last day of graduating with my BFA in Computer Art and Design that I only have 5 classes to get my BA in Anthropology and that they will be teaching a class in Visual Anthropology next semester. I didn't even know there was such a thing as visual anthropology, and upon further investigation it seems like the perfect blend between my artistic, photography and creative skills and my interest in history, people, archaeology and anthropology. It is very exciting! Since there are next to NO jobs in the design field in my town maybe this will open new doors for me. If you haven't figured it out so far I am pursuing my Bachelors of Anthropology degree. A friend of mine was disappointed that I wasn't going to be able to put BS behind my name....ha ha!!
I bought a book that reflects on the thought - "if you have one hour to live, who would you call and why are you waiting?".....something to think about. I must go read that book now! ta ta! Ciao!

Corporate personalities
Is it possible that there are just some people that are not cut out to work in the corporate world? I think I might be one of them. I hate my job. I love the money, love the work but the politics and the stupid people just amaze me.
Do you know that no one decorated for christmas in any way at work? Do you know there were no carry in's, no gift exchanges, no holiday atmosphere, just everyone leaving early and as soon as they could to get out of that place. It is so oppressive in this place. I feel like I am suffocating, drowning as a matter of fact. There is no creativity, it is just robotic, "this is what we want so do it...make it happen...." sigh..... I yell at God, I beg God, I plead with God, - GET ME OUT OF HERE! I look for jobs, I submit resume after resume hoping that someone will get me out of here, but no....I must stay. I really enjoy the paycheck, even if it is low on the pay scale for my field, but that guaranteed paycheck is certainly nice. I think God is having me work on being content no matter what situation I am in. I just cry when I think about going back to that place. I am SOOO looking forward to the next week off.
If you are reading this and you are a praying soul, please pray that God would do something in my situation at work!
