chips y salsa por favor

as i embarked fresh into 2006, i set up several 'acheiveable' resolutions. ones that would improve me as a person... so i thought anyway. here's what i resolved to do in 2006:

1) read one book per month
2) do something for myself once a week
3) eliminate negative relationships in my life
4) keep a daily journal

here's how i'm doing so far....

1) i have read a total of 6, yes SIX, books this year. that equates to 2 books per month. and NO i'm not reading great works of english literature, but i'm also not reading smutty books - of course i'm not exactly counting out the smut just yet. i'm reading fiction novels - mostly about hollywood or the entertainment industry. my favorite so far has been 'the assistants' by robin lynn williams. the best $3.98 i've ever spent. i'm reading 'the devil wears prada' now. so far so good.
2) this one was harder than i thought. i wanted to do something fun and i thought about enrolling in a salsa class. i've always loved the music and thought i might meet new people, but then i also thought i'd be the poor sad lonely girl with no partner.. so i 86ed that one. then i thought i'd keep along those lines and take a spanish language class. a friend at work attends one, in the conf room next to my cube no less, and i thought i'd join. i bought my book, went to 3 classes and got bored with it. i still read my book and learn words that i'm not familiar with, but as far as being a regular student... negative ghostrider... i've decided to find myself a cute spanish guy. i figure, he can not only teach me the language, but he could also teach me the salsa dancing i'm wanting to learn. i'll keep you posted on how that works out for me. :3) this is another one that's easier said than done. i eliminated one relationship, i shouldn't say 'eliminated' cause we have a child that will forever link us to one another, but we no longer have to live with each other - and that's the most important thing i think. as far as the other negative relationship (see april's fool), well i don't quite know what to do. we haven't said anything to one another, via phone, face to face or email since i cancelled. i sent the last bit of communication, so in my book - the ball's in her court. keep you posted on this one as well.
4) the daily journal i kept up for about a month and a half and realized as i re-read it.. i'm one boring ass person. so i stopped writing. no one would ever want to read that. i write much better blog material than journal material. so i've decided to sub the blog for my journal. now if i could only manage to write a blog entry everyday... i'll work on it. with every new day, there's fresh hope.
