Goodbye 2009... Hello 2010!
I just got home from Sentosa Island where we partied away the end of 2009 and ushered in 2010, missing the countdown as I danced to top 40s covers.. can't think of a more perfect start to the year. and yes it's nearly 6am and yes I had chicken nuggets tonight for the first time in a minimum of 13 years (to be honest life is foggy before then ) and I don't regret it. and to think I nearly didn't go out tonight!
I looked at the few pics we snapped during the evening and I thought, who's that hot brunette... that's the kind of tone I want in my... hey THAT'S ME!!! Wait, I'm the hot brunette? what the f have I been worrying about?!
So I came home and showered. And not only did I wash off the grime from the pool I jumped into (fully clothed, dancing) after midnight (oh yeah, there was a pool ON the beach). But I busted out a new loofa and my special occasion body wash, shaved my legs (again? oh well, it's all about the ritual) and washed my hair with the new orchid and coconut milk shampoo Jefferson got me for Christmas. I washed off all the chlorine, the disappointments from 2010, the lost loves, the perceived failures, the hard times, the disappointments, the worries and anxieties. I scrubbed at the heartbreak and, oh god, the injuries, the sadness, the freaking insecurities, and the endless questions about the future. The future is now. I'm hot, I smell like Cherry Blossoms and life is as I deem it. and to top it off I used the fluffy pink towel because gosh darn it I'm a GIRL! Thats not to say 2009 wasn't amazing and important. I visited 3 countries, witnessed my baby sisters wedding(!!!), paid my bills solely through performing, went to massage therapy schooled, made numerous friends... but I will say that 2009 held a special amount of heartache and stress and I'm not sorry to see it pass into my past.
Feeling clean and energized I came out of the shower took a few aspirin and am getting ready for bed. 2010. It's going to be good! And to start it off I'm going to the hospital because, oh yeah, I've been in bed the past two days with abdominal distension and cramping, curled up in the fetal position (except when I did P90X today) and at the urging of the TCM if it's not gone tomorrow I'm going in to get my "womb" scanned (her words, not mine). So ha, I still put on my party dress and danced tonight, even feeling like I'm 8 months preggo with twin aliens! I really have to be on my death bed to give up a party that promises dancing...
