what's up?

I actually managed to start adding my old blog/journal/whateverthehell entries here this weekend. I got all of January of this year up. I read each entry as I added it. I am amused by the way my mind works. It was only 8 months ago and it seems so hard to believe that I was having some of those thoughts. I wonder what I will think of those same encapsulated memories a year from now. I was impressed by the amount of pictures I took during that month. I was snapping flicks of everything. I feel like singing that Barbara Streisand song now.

Life has been the same day to day. I'm working on being frivolous and not just blowing money. It's still burning a hole in my pocket but I've managed to hold IG Monique in check for a few weeks now and I'm proud. Another thing I've been working on is taking care of me.

That me time is something else. I've actually learned to tell people no when I feel like it. It's been working out to my benefit. I've also realized how much some people actually get on my nerves and I'm learning to distance myself from them and their draining negativity. I have my own negativity to work on. :o)

And I am attempting to work on it. I try and catch myself when I feel like I'm being a snarky bitch and I ask myself if it's really necessary. If it is I continue with it and if not, I stop. Maybe not the best formula but it's at least making me cognizant of it. That's a real start, believe me. I was at the point of just not giving a fuck.

Tangents. I'm still too baffled to discuss it right now.
