So I’ve taken a much needed break from blogging. As you can see, my posts were becoming a little dark, but much has changed since the last entry. No longer am I a disgruntled, part-time employed MBA grad. Underpaid? Perhaps, but I feel that I’m in a good place at a great company with much room to grow. To me that’s way more important than holding a high-paying, dead end job with little to no intellectual stimulation. Plus, I get to bring my dog to work. That alone feels like a 20% pay increase.
What better way to bring my blog back to life than to share my 2010 New Year Resolution?

1. Save money (mainly for a home). After 2 yrs of lost income and incurred student loans, it will take a while to replenish my funds again. However, I’m determined to be a home owner by 30 (in CA!). Thanks to Mint.com, I know exactly where my money goes.

2. I’m just as determined to live up to my self-proclaimed name-note the blog domain. My one-new-country-a-year escapade shall continue. Next dream destination: the Greek islands. I know this probably contradicts with #1, but hey, life is dull when you live in a bubble.
3. What almost makes me as happy as traveling to another country is to buy things on the fly, when my impulses kick in, but I will need to put the brakes on come 2010. It won’t be easy, especially since I work in fashion and online retail, although that only means I will be able to buy what I usually buy anyway with awesome discounts! Ahem, this goal obviously needs refining.
4. Take on more happyfurball pet photography projects (see shameless self-promotion and link to site above). I have a charity event to attend in March where I will donate a free pet photo session to be auctioned to the rich and able. That will hopefully help me promote my hobby biz.

5. Stop eating junk food like I’m still in college. Not completely stop of course, just do a little more portion control. Maybe it’s time to re-download that LiveStrong iPhone app.
6. Read and finish ONE book. I have this bad habit of starting a book and stopping 2/3 of the way, so starting 10 books and not finishing them doesn’t count.
2010 will be a good year; I can smell it. Can you? What is your resolution?
