I hope everyone had an awesome New Year’s Eve and day.  Mine was pretty cool.  Really mellow, but in a good way.

On New Years Eve, I opened up my first Business Checking Account, which will be amazing when it comes to keeping my shit together… or at least, I’m hoping it will.  I STILL need to get all my shit together for taxes for this past year.  Krystal said she’ll help me with my taxes, and I think I’ll need all the help I can get.  I just need to get my paperwork together.  c.c

Speaking of the business, my first show is the 8th and 9th.  Lemme get the website for the place… http://olymarket.weebly.com/  There we go.  It’s the Olympia Weekend Market and since this coming weekend will be the first weekend for it, the vender fees are waved.  I’m going to see how I do there, and depending on how much I make and how much I like it, I’m going to see about booking a few more weekends this coming year, depending on how much stock I have and how much time.  I need to get my website updated too. ::sigh:: Specially if I’m going to be handing out cards.  I’ll have to get the computer for a while tonight and do some of that.  I think this is a good way to start the new year.

I spent the weekend with a little gaming and a bit of jewelry making.  I also played with my hamster. She’s so adorable in her ball, and she’s not only friendly, but she’s really big into exploring, so when I put her in the ball, she wanders around downstairs and ends up in some of the weirdest places.  Last night, I had to rescue her from under the desk and from the corner where I have the boxes of stuff that the boyfriend brought but never unpacked.  Not to mention that her favorite place to explore seems to be the downstairs bathroom. 

I’ve also started to take her out of her ball and let her run around on me.  I like holding her, and she calms down after a little bit, but still wants to explore, so half the time I end up having to twist and turn to try to keep her from falling off of my shoulders and back.  It really does bring a smile to my face. 

It’s kind of scary, the fact that I’m bonding with her as much as I am.  I don’t bond to animals, and I hardly bond to people, but I just… I don’t know what it is bout Persephone, but she cheers me up and is just so damned cute.  Ugh.  I sound pathetic.

I’m trying to think if there’s anything else that’s going on… I’ve been playing a little more Fallout: New Vegas, and finally got ahold of Batman: Arkham Asylum.  It’s fun, but I haven’t been in the mood to really game.  I think I want to get out more.  I know, I keep saying that, and I’ve been working on doing it.  I just need to find a place that I can do my jewelry without feeling really… I don’t know… weird. O.o

::ponders:: Oh!  I’m starting the whole Wellness thingie.  I’m going to have to figure out how much I care to put here, without turning the journal into a "woe is me, I’m stuck dieting" journal.  I have a doc appointment on the 7th, and I’m going to show her all the stuff I got from work for the Wellness thingie, and see what she says and suggests.  I need to change my eating habits and start exercising more, I know… it’s just hard with it being dark when I go to work and dark when I get home.  I might see about getting out and about more often, spend time wandering around some more.  Or at least, doing my Wii fit.

Maybe I’ll start working on some resolutions for this year.
