Procrastination

I suppose I should start studying or do some work on my final papers but I'm not in the mood.  I kind of just want to take this last day of relaxation before I start really cracking down and begin preparing for next week.  I work from 4 to 9 today but then after work couch time with Chris. I love just sitting on the couch with him, watch tv or a movie.  I usually fall asleep or we both do but it's nice to just relax and forget about what needs to be done for a little while.  But I'm so glad that next week is the last week of school.  That month break is going to be great.  

So last week was Thanksgiving and there are many things I am thankful for.  To the basics to the little things in life.  Of course I'm thankful for my family, they shaped who I am and who I still continue to be.  They are there as constant support, when others crap out on you and you can't rely on anyone else.  They give you unconditional love all the time, no hesitations or questions asked.  I'm thankful for the friends I have.  Granted I only have a few but I like it better that way.  I'd rather have a few close friends than a ton of acquaintances.  They are there for when you need an outside perspective and the truth.  They are also there for support when you need them, but also to just be able to have fun with and relax.  Some friends are the sisters that I've never had but maybe it was planned to be that way.  I got a brother but it was made that was so I could meet friends who could be my sisters.  I'm thankful for my boyfriend.  He's not only a boyfriend but a friend as well.  We have our ups and downs but mostly up's.  I'm thankful that he can pull me out of the worse moods ever and just make me laugh.  I'm thankful for our couch time, car drives, and text messages.  I'm thankful that I can feel love from him, from my friends, from my family.  I'm thankful for the blessing of being able to wake up every morning, and have a new day.  Thankful for my job, my house, my education.  The basics but the most important.  Then there are the little things.  Vitamin Water, fresh coffee every morning, those caramel hot chocolates from Starbucks, sweater dresses with black opaque tights, Forever 21 in general, those World Market sea salt and cracked black pepper chips, being able to watched missed episodes of Gossip Girl online.  I think I need to learn to appreciate the little things in life a lot more, and not take so much for granted.  I think I also need to learn to relax a little bit more, and not let myself get so stressed out and crazy over things.  Maybe these could be my resolutions for 2009?
