The world according to me…

I figured a bunch of peeps will be blogging about their New Year Resolutions. Nope, not me! I mean, for as long as my friends have known me, have I ever try to fit in? I am always trying to get all eyes on me and I love that people gossip about me…so why would I not provide them with endless material?

Honestly, where did the year go? Where did my time go? Oh yeah, WORK! So, this is what having a real job is like. It took me three tries post college to actually get a real job but I really hit the nail on the head this time. I work like a dog…and then some. I love what I do but it’s never enough. The more I give the more they take. Damn bloodsuckers, I tell you! I love what I do and I think I am going to go far in Human Resources. I am planning to take my PHR next year and back to grad school the following.

Did I save any money? Nope! I have over 80 pairs of shoes, 4 pairs of boots, 10 winter coats, 8 BCBG dresses and 4 VERY expensive leather handbags. Fashion can be an investment, right? My ING Orange savings account is still in the 3 figure range…haha. I did enroll in my company’s 401K. How grown up is that?! All you haters, I promise I won’t shop like this when I have kids but until then, I love all my clothes and shoes like children.

One friend got married (Mazal Tov Jodi!) and another will be getting hitch this Jan (Congrats SJ!). Both my cousins also met their match. I am too young to get married! I want to have a huge wedding but I am not done flirting yet! I want a pretty dress and loads of attention. An “Yvonne Day” really is quite necessary but being married is a whole other story. Funny thing was today, Arthur, one of my department managers came up to me to congratulate me on my upcoming nuptials. I flat out asked him, “Sweetie ain’t no man can afford me!” That pretty much squashed that rumor mill. On a more serious note, marriage requires a lot of commitment and time and I am still too selfish and immature to give someone all of me.

I have not had a vacation since last year when I took a weekend in Boston. I am planning a long weekend in Florida this Jan/Feb. I am super excited about Club Med. I really want to try archery! In case, you are wondering why, just know that I have a lot of pent up anger. I am afraid to take time off, though. Every time, I take an extra day off, I come back to over 50 voicemails and I get calls even when I am out sick! I am NOT that important in the company, leave me alone!

2007 was a so-so year but I did learn so much about myself. I prioritized. I figured out what I really want. I learned to ask for what I want. I am stronger (mentally). My career is moving upwards. I am healthy though a little chubby! I got my heart crushed but I found two men that worship me. Most of all, I learned that I am quite fabulous and NO ONE is going to love me more than me! So I am going to treat myself like a queen and expect no less from everyone else. Optimism is at an all time high for 2008. I always get what I want so I know it’s going to be a good year!
