2004: Year in Review

Sunday, Jan. 02, 2005 at 5:47 p.m.

Well I do this every year so here it is again. My 2004 year in review!

January
I sent out my application for Syracuse University. This time as a transfer student. I was all excited, but Ted hated the idea. This ruined everything. I never felt comfortable after this. I kind of gave up on my Syracuse dreams, all because of a frigging guy! I turned 21 on the 24th! A bunch of us went to Friday’s for some drinks. I had some Oreo drink. Yes, it had alcohol in it, but I eventually turned over to the non alcoholic smoothie! Ted bought me a beautiful tanzanite/diamond ring for my birthday. It’s gorgeous and I still wear it. I got shingles. That was nice. I got it on my ass of all places. I was the laughing stock of the whole family. It was nice.

February
Everyone seemed to be having problems with their bosses in February, and of course I went into another “I love my boss” stage. I am seriously grateful for Daniel though. I have it good with him. I also got my acceptance letter to Syracuse. I started to cry. Ted came to the door and I was crying and shaking. Of course the first person I told was Daniel. Even before Ted. I was so proud of myself. It was the best feeling to say “I’m a Syracuse University student!” I also went to see “The Passion of the Christ.” It was very moving. At this time I wasn’t really in to religion, but it makes you think.

March
March seemed like a boring month. I got confirmed for some DMB shows which at this time, they weren’t supposed to go to SPAC. We got a treadmill. I was supposed to do that everyday, but that didn’t last.

April
This wasn’t the best month. Ted and I had our first break up. It only lasted a day, but it seriously hurt me. He said he loved me but felt we should see other people. I finally talked him out of it, and we seemed to be going back on track. We went to Syracuse to visit SU. This time as an accepted student. It was AWESOME! I loved the feeling although it didn’t feel right because of Ted.

May
Friends ended. How sad. I loved that show. Kelly had her son, Trevor. He’s such a doll. I love him! He’s so cute. Mother was putting a lot of stress on me with the whole financial situation with Syracuse, yet another reason to just forget the whole thing. I ended my 3rd year at SCCC!

June
This didn’t start off as a good weekend. Ted and I broke up again. This time we stayed apart a little longer. Same reasons as before, but when we got back together, he acted like he really wanted to be with me this time. But nothing was ever the same. I got my nose pierced! That was a bit painful. But I like it. We moved the store to a temp location. That was a task and a half. Melissa and I made a trip over night to visit Kel and the baby! I held a baby and fed one all for the first time! He was sooooo cute.

July
Started off July by going to back to back DMB shows at SPAC. The second night we had orchestra pit seats! It was amazing. He was hot, and his new songs rocked! Ted and I also went to Massachusetts’s to see another Dave show. Also a very good show. We stopped in to see Kel on the way home and she got to approve him. Trevor was still super adorable! I took my first vacation in like 5 years. LoL. I took a week off, unpaid of course, cause GNC is cool like that. The vacation didn’t end so good though.

August
I started off August not so good. A couple of months earlier I went off my lexapro cold turkey and without the doctor knowing. The low serotonin made me go into withdrawal and it wasn’t pretty. I was so depressed and thought I was nuts, and I was going to feel like that forever. It was crazy. I ended up missing another 2 weeks of work. I spent most of it at colleen’s house. Ted was hardly there for me. I guess he just didn’t understand. But it hurt not having him there. I started going to church with my family. It took a few weeks, but I did start to feel better.

September
I started classes again at SCCC. I also started talking to an old friend again- Sean. In the mean time, Ted and I decided to take a break. I hung out with Sean one night, and met his son Kaleb. It was great. I hadn’t been that happy in a long time. Within a few days we started dating. He said this time he was ready. I considered going to law school, but that passed quickly.

October
Started off going to Oneonta for a sales rally with Dan, Erin and Dawn! It was a blast! The whole way there and back we did nothing but laugh! I joined the church officially and was baptized. We celebrated by going out to dinner afterwards. Sean and Kaleb were there too. My family fell in love with Kaleb. Who couldn’t?

November
Sean and I celebrated our 2 month anniversary by staying in a local hotel. It was awesome! It had a hot tub in the middle of the room! It was a good time although I could feel something was wrong with Sean. He didn’t seem right. Kyle transferred from the colonie store to my store! I’ve been pushing for that for a long time! Not only is Kyle hysterically funny, but he’s GORGEOUS! When I work with him all I do is drool and laugh. I keep telling Daniel I NEED to get into his pants! I found out my twin best friends were BOTH pregnant! How nice!

December
Sean and I broke up. It was hard. I fell so hard for him. A part of me still missed him. I haven’t talked to him since. Sometimes I think it’s for the better. I grew a little bit closer to Daniel who really helped through a lot of this. I let Dawn and Tanya in on my secret that I’ve been keeping for 3 years! And I bought a new kitten! I named him after Daniel- Talbot.

So there was a whole year of nothing. A lot of things are still unfinished. Hopefully 2005 will be better. Cheers.

last & next
