Today I wrote a cheque for the water bill and wrote "2010", we'll see if it gets cashed. The point is time is flying and that's sorta scary. But I'm ready for it.
Out and Aboot
I am happy to say I was a quite the social butterfly over the winter break! If you know me you know I'm a homebody through and through. A TV, book, cup of tea, movie all from the couch or in my bed all excite me more than going out. I don't club or do the bar scene, I'm not a fan of partying. And to pay cover? GAASP! Why would I wanna do that?!
But I kicked it a few times with my girls and had a blast. Big ups to the FT crew for fun times!

Christmas was a blast, I was a bit under the weather so I wasn't my crazy self. But there is enough crazy in my family to keep the madness afloat. I admire my family so much and I am always amazed at how much we all love and support each other.

| My sisters and our mama on Christmas Day NYE '10 I spent NYE the way I have spent it for nearly a decade, at home on the couch. I tend to fall asleep before midnight so I had to be nudged awake seven minutes before countdown. I was about to snap, and then was told to chill P it's new years eve. Oh. Right. (People know to only wake me for a legit fire or NYE). I sipped some Riesling, watched the awkwardness that is Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin, gave the obligatory peck and took my tail back to snoresville at about 12:01. |
2010 in Review
2010 was a good year to learn some lessons. I learned to trust my instincts and to do what is right even if it makes others uncomfortable. I had to make some tough choices about my training situation and felt torn at times. But in the end did what I knew was best for me, regardless of opinion.
Also, I have come to realize that my job influences my day to day emotions and feelings and this isn't always productive. I have come a long way in separating the athlete from the woman. I can have a performance I am unhappy with and still go home and be that chick that you want to kick it with. It's not perfected yet, but one day it could be.
In 2010 I took the trip of a lifetime when I went to Bamako, Mali. That was a highlight of my life and I am extra, but not exaggerating on this one!
Oh and in 2010 I turned 30! A major milestone, I'm slowly embracing this new found confidence and maturity. And the best part about being 30 is the look on people's faces when I tell them. I know right--I look tender and spry don't it!

Thnaks for a great update Perdita.
Trust me your Xmas looks way more wild than mine. :-)
30 is a great age-if I cast my mind back to those halycon days-I felt fantastic and like I was fnally becoming the person I was meant to be-sounds like you are maturing nicely! :-)
I too watched CNN on NYE-I have a secret crush on AC even though I know he is...well I won't out him here. :-)
I hope 2011 is full of fast starts, crisp hurdling technique and lots of climbs up the podium.
Oh I LOVE me some Anderson, but nope he won't ever love us back like that. Something about the silver and pepper hair...anyways, ya 30 is ok with me!
Thanks for reading. Hope you had a good Bday young lady. Your post about braces and the mall had me cracking up. lol
