End of year update

Since moving to LA, life is passing in a blur. There have been so many things to do and of course, lots of work.  There were a few goals in mind for the 2008 year but they seemed to have been moved to my non-priority list... and you know what that means, it doesn't get done.

Looking back it is difficult to imagine living here since August 2007 (initially moving here for school). I keep telling people I've lived here since May 2008, since that is when I returned from Hawaii - working the seasonal trail on a cruiseline for a few months. In a way it seems living in LA has been longer than 7 months - there are familiar people in my life and constant which is great.

Moving every 5 months or so these past 3 years had been a lifestyle adventure. One that makes it seem like I've lived here forever! I keep getting the urge to move again, like some internal alarm that has been set on snooze indefinately. That alarm has been the most difficult to overcome and I'm still working on it. Perhaps it's a commitment phobia - but after moving around for so much, it was a bit strange and very weird to sign a 2 year contract for my apartment internet and cable! It really felt like I was signing my life away. 

In the meantime, I've been enjoying the Southern California weather - it does get cold here and perhaps I've adapted because 40F, is very cold again! At least though, I can ride my bike on a regular basis and have been enjoying the outdoors.

I hope you all have a good Holiday season and a wonderful 2009!
