Let's Begin A New

As we enter the 2nd day of the new year, I go back to the office today refreshed and ready to take on more. This past year has had it's ups and downs. This roller coaster ride hasn't come to a complete stop yet. Our paths are paved with the decisions we make and for the first part of last year, all I could talk about it moving to California. Oh look, I'm still in Washington. Granted, it was a great decision on my part and word has it that the lodge down there begins to be built this month, I'm glad that I put those plans on the back burner and decided to work with a great team in the HR department. Now I can learn more and be taught by one of the best. The end of the year went out with a vacation for yours truly, as I relaxed through the holidays like no one's business. Christmas went off without a hitch and we even got a white one. Dinner was good as always, but it's the day after that really defined my vacation with a surprise. We are no longer in the dinosaur ages for we got smart phones!! That's right, the bear decided to go see what offers they had since our contract was coming up at the end of the year while I used one of my Christmas gifts to shop for CDs. As I stood in line to pay, I saw him dart through Best Buy on the phone giving a quick glance over to the line I was in and out the door he went. After I paid, I went to search for him and he was still on the phone with his brother talking about a deal he had found over at the Best Buy phone store. Getting the thumbs up from his brother I did quick math in my head and said we could afford it and a few more this and thats later we were owners of Droid Razrs. These phones are cool and so glad that we decided to upgrade. Friday found us out at the casino (breaking my one rule about being down by the lodge while on my vacation) with a few friends. I'm so glad that I broke that rule because I was able to spend some time with a good friend and my partner in crime who I hadn't seen in a week. I was hoping that I would see the Diva before she left because I hadn't seen her in 2 weeks, but she was already gone. We spent the night gambling and drinking and just having loads of fun. New Years was spent with the brother instead of the bear's parents this year. We drank like fishes and rang in the new year with a buzz or I mean bang lol. Now the tree is down and ornaments packed away for another year, it's time for me to dust of the uniforms and head back to the office.
