what a start to a new year.

I Have a list of things that I need to improve and do for the new year and one of them is to get back into blogging. Message boards are nice and all, but I think I need to be able to look back and see how I can improve. The past six months or so I haven’t blogged much at all, mostly due to the hellhole the site I was journaling at was becoming, and the past six months I’ve found myself becoming more bitter, more lost, and at a loss of where to find guidance.

The new year wasn’t kind to us this morning, however. David was cut off on the interstate and fishtailed off the road, down a steep slope and stopped in between trees. I’ve never been so thankful to have that little car – any larger car would have rolled. Both he and the car came out miraculously unscathed. A few feet earlier or later and he would have hit a tree.

On top of it, after paying the towing company, he lost his credit card and, get this, I can’t report it lost because they’re closed for the holiday. I really hate Chase. I can’t wait to get our tax money to pay off the credit card and cancel it. They’re customer service sucks nearly as bad as microsoft’s and the APR is just ridiculous.

One of my other resolutions was to stop being such a negative nancy and to be more cheerful. Today isn’t making that very easy.
