All is quiet on New Year's Day

I’ve taken some time off of the blog, but today is January 1st, 2011 and it’s the start of a brand new year.

2010 had a lot of ups and downs. It started off with the most amazing party Vancouver has ever thrown. The Olympics took over my life for the month of February, and I’m so glad I blogged about them, as I probably would have forgotten some of it if I hadn’t.

The year ended on a bit of a quiet note. We had a small intimate dinner party at a girlfriend’s place and I was home in bed alone by 1:30. That’s right… I said alone. There are so many things I would love to write about my breakup in September, but I think I might come off as a bitter, jaded, cynical ex-girlfriend if I do. Instead, I will focus on my future instead of the past. I will try to stay optimistic instead of negative, and I will not use this site to beat up on guys.

I will however say that I finally deleted the ex as a Facebook friend today. I couldn’t handle his status updates; each one felt like a slap in the face and I felt like I was using his profile to stalk him. I have to admit, in the few hours since we’ve been de-friended, I feel as though a weight has been lifted. It’s only Day 1, but so far, I think it was the right decision.

Anyway…

Onward and upward…

2011 is the year I will start dating again. Don’t think I’ll blog much about it, as I really wouldn’t want some guy blogging about my date with him. If things go particularly well, he might get a mention at some time in the future, but for now, some things need to be kept private. If there’s an exceptionally funny or interesting story, I might mention it with some bogus names.

In the mean time, I will be continuing with my (amateur) photography, and in doing so, will do my best to post a new picture everyday. I'm going to call it Project 3.6.5.

Yikes! That’s 365 pictures! Hmmmm… well I’ve got to start somewhere.

Today’s picture, (1/365), is of my Christmas tree. January 1st is typically the day a lot of people take down their trees, but I love the way the lights look so much, I just have to give it a few more days.
