New Year's 2012

This was the second New Year in a row spent house sitting. This year I sat for a different couple who own fewer animals. I have spent most of the last week and a half watching their movies & reading their novels.

My prediction for 2011 was it will be “a year where I weigh options to find balance in my life. I will have time to myself and miss out on a few social events. I will watch a few movies and celebrate alone.” I also ditched out on a fundraising event due to poor planning that night so that should have been worked into the prediction as well.

That was a very accurate description of how 2011 was for me. I did spend much time reflecting on what was happening to me and all my possible responses. I did have a lot of time to myself, not all by choice as I was sick & house sitting quite a bit, and I did not attend as many social events as I planned. I did not get involved in as many charity or fund raising type events as I planned. I did watch many movies and had to celebrate a few things on my own. Wow I am glad this depressing year is over!!!

This brings me to 2012 and my superstitious belief that how I spent New Years Eve will be a prediction or reflection of what happens to me during the next year.

New Years 2012 I was house sitting and taking care of animals. I was late to a small party with friends and had a good time. We played bored games and hung out. I did not know everyone so I made sure I talked to a few different people and joked with the few people I knew there. I noticed I have a habit of sitting quietly and I tried to make more of an effort to engage people. I did not eat much and watched what I ate. I also remembered I am attracted to Hispanic or Latin women.

My prediction is 2012 will be a year where I am late to events; I spend time with small groups and make an effort to talk with others. I push myself to get out of my comfort zone and I spend time admiring hispanic women. 2012 sounds much better than 2011!
