Friday references are hilarious. They never get old. I'm done with 2008. I think mostly everyone is, but I'm just ready for the next thing. I try really hard not to always look for the next thing and be happy about what is in front of me. I loved 2008, not because it was the greatest year ever, but because it means that it was another year that I learned new things, went to new places, met new people, and grew up a little bit more. I love my life so much. Don't get me wrong, there are things that aren't my favorite about this life, but I have killer friends, super family and a BF thats stupid unbelievable. Somebody once said "The best things in life are not things" I love that saying. So I made a list. Which is awesome, because lists are great. Of my raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. So when I'm having a down day I can look it up and know that life is bearable because. . .

1. My dad and his "Bear pooped in the woods" joke. It's not funny. Not even a little. I laugh at it so much that I cry everytime though and he thinks I'm crazy. If I'm having a horrible day, I'll call him and make him tell it to me. It makes my gray sky blue.
2. Brokedown Palace. A huge testiment to solid girl friendships. I love that I have friendships that are that strong.
3. Diet Coke. This is self explanatory. If you don't get it, you never will.
4. Piper. She saved my life and she's the best dog ever.
5. The Dallas Cowboys. I talk more crap about them than anyone I know and I think Jerry Jones is a moron, but they are my team and I love them.
6. Coldplay. How they know how to sing to your heart is so amazing to me. And their concerts will change your life.
7. Sephora. It's a makeup junkie's safe place
8. Life Lessons. Me and life lessons are now incahoots. I got tired of fighting them and decided to move over to their side of things. I made a decision last year that made me realize that I am ready for the best part of life. No more darkness. No more wasted time. Yay for light. Yay for happy.
9. Designer jeans. Cliche. It's true. I got sucked right in. And let me tell you what, when they say "they are worth the money" they are NOT lying to you. Plus my butt is 28 years old and needs all the help it can get.
10. Britney. Oh honey. You need a hug. Me, Bebo and Liz are on your team. Your songs light up my life. Screw the haters. See ya in April.

So to all the hands up I have in my life. Thanks. To 2008: We had a good run. There were more tears than smiles, but the end turned up well worth it. To 2009: We are gonna love each other for 364 more days. Can't wait.
