2004...a last minute reflection...

as earlier promised, here's why 2004 was probably the best year ever for me...

february - best month ever perhaps? i spent 3 days/2 nights with probably one of the sexiest guys i'll ever know.....one of those days being my birthday. who can complain about a couple of days off from work, lounging around all the time and making out with a great kisser? i also made it to Vegas for a john mayer show AND i got to actually meet the man himself in memphis like a week later. i fulfilled like half of my fantasies in this one month alone.....definitely a good sign of things to come...

april/may - the beginning of something....different. the last weekend of april, which turned into the 1st of may, i got to check out the Foo Fighters @ Memphis in May, which was awesome. that day was the first like entire day i spent with mike, ending with him wrapped around me, standing in the rain listening to Everlong. the end of may sent us to see A Perfect Circle...which ended with us making out for 2 hours in my apartment after the show....hmmmmm.......could laurie possibly be getting herself into some sort of relationship? at this point, of course, i'm thinking no way!

june. that whole mike thing turned a bit more serious, although we were both saying that if we had sex, then it would never turn into a relationship because neither of us were wanting to be tied down. burned the v-club membership with the tv on Dharma & Greg, a show i absolutely can't stand. sex is goood....

july/august/september. mike got fired. i thought he was going to go back to texas forever. he decided to come back from vacation and we start spending time together practically everyday. phone calls everyday...text messages all the time....days feel weird if we don't communicate in some fashion. i went on vacation to nikki's...learned that nikki and i are totally growing apart, which is sad, but a fact of life. got back from NC, decided i needed to be looking for another job, started debating whether or not mike and i were in some sort of relationship.

october. boring? i can't think of anything that went down in october. i spent way too much time trying to decode my relationship to pay attention to anything or anyone else. how selfish of me!

november/december...puked at the grizzlies game. found out i officially have a boyfriend, which is a first in my 24 years during this time of year. awesome snowstorm week of christmas! new job at the evil empire! spent christmas and new years alone...but decided it's really not all that awful. officially down 40 pounds from the most i can remember weighing.

i'm sad i didn't get to spend as much time with my old friends this year, but you have to understand that i'm just trying to catch up my romantic life with my social life considering the whole boyfriend thing hasn't happened since i was 18. i promise i will try harder to achieve some sort of balance in 2005.

i'm also resolving to save money to go on my own vacation (to vegas...) in September; continue my weight loss endevour (c'mon 40 more pounds!); somehow make enough money to pay all my bills; stop being so nice to others - including picking up other people's tabs when we go out (which is probably why i never have any money..haha).

i hope you all had as great of a year as i did, and if not, it just means there's only good things to come to you in 2005. if you need any help in achieving your own goals, you know how to find me ;) (unless it's financial....see my above resolution hehe)

thanks so much for reading my blog!
