Happy New Year!

OK, so I'm a bit early, but I figured I would say it now.  I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year's Eve, and that the headaches are very mild tomorrow.  

2010 was a pretty crappy year, I think we can all agree.  There were some good things, though.  I got switched to taking chats at my job, my brother got promoted, and my sister moved to England, which she has been wanting to do for years.  

I've made a lot of new friends, on LJ and in RL, and lost a few as well. 

I've found my way back to a Sherlock Holmes, whom I've always loved, but was always a bit intimidated by, and ended up writing an 80,000 page story.  Which I'll start posting in the next few days!

I've had a lot of health problems this year, and some money trouble because of it, but both are pretty much under control right now, so I'm starting the new year hopeful. 

I got a new coat, which I cannot tell you how much I love!  I will post pictures shortly.  Yes, I am that proud of my coat!  

And above all, DADT was repealed.  *Fist pump!*

I do have a few resolutions, though they're pretty normal ones.  

I want to lose 30 pounds this year, and am saving to purchase an elliptical machine. 
I want to be happy with my job, and an going to look into making changes.
I want to go back to school, or at least get started on looking into that.

I am going to go to England in April, and I'm looking forward to seeing some of you I've only ever known from LJ.  Please take pity on me when I visit and try not to laugh too much when I get hopelessly lost.  

Here's to hoping that 2011 is a much, much better year than 2010!
