Wellp, another year is coming to a close. I think about the best times in life, and year in and year out I boil them down to one thing: people. It's the people that make life so beautiful (okay, and the cats too). So if you are reading this and you are a people, thank you.

To old friends who I message on facebook, call, or see a couple times a year: I think about you, I miss you, I am so appreciative when I get to hear from you. To new friends, in Arizona: I value all of the great times we have together and I look forward to more in 2014. To my family: you guys are the best family a girl could ask for and I couldn't be happier spending a lazy day doing anything with the Stahls, Batchos, or Filipowiczs. To coworkers: thank you for all of the laughter, and for making work a pleasant place to be.

In the year 2013, I really have become more of the person I am going to be. It's the first year I really feel truly like an adult. Most of being an adult is cool. You can eat cheese for dinner, if you really want to. You can buy toys without having to worry about asking permission. You can do what you want in your free time, and you don't have to do the dishes if you really don't want to. The drawbacks: cheese for dinner every night will make a very large you, toys all the time will lose the roof over your head. A body needs rest, and, unless you want to spend a fortune on disposable dishes, the dishes will have to be done eventually.

I just lost my train of thought.

Happy New Year to all! Party well, drive safe, and dance like nobody is watching!

I'm not a thinker and not an academic... just a drunk flute player. I know my mind is more. I have the talent but not the drive. Should I be striving for more?
