A New Year!

Shannon's New Year Resolutions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.) I resolve to update my blog at least once a week.
2.) I resolve to send out a newsletter for the site at least twice a month.
3.) I resolve to actually finish Trailer Trash Teen, which is pushing two years in production!!!
4.) I resolve to find a decent paying job with decent benefits.
5.) I resolve to move out of Paul's, because the guilt-trips are getting unbearable.
6.) I resolve to drink less. Booze, I mean.
7.) I resolve to have the heart-to-heart with my younger cousin Stephanie I've been meaning to have for years, because it's almost too late to do so when it could help her avoid the mistakes I've made.
8.) I resolve to start having sex for fun again, instead of using sex to feel needed... in case no one noticed, my sex life lately has been pretty... well, not sad, but sort of... depressing? Ugly? Not fun and exciting the way it used to be. I resolve to change that.
9.) I resolve to keep at least three of these resolutions.

There... that's all for now! I'll post another update later!

We're all going to be happy withthe newsletter, we're all looking forward to reading more of your memories. I will hope number 4 is a definate before number 5 happens.
We're all thinking of you shannon and my best wishes go to you this new year. I hope the next year is a better one.

Nice to see you again.... you'd be surprised to know how similar things are for the two of us... but try to keep (3) finishing Tina's story, (5) move out of Paul's, and (8)having fun again...... . ..... and that would probabily take care of (7) Stephaine and (4) the job....

It is great to see you and I hope your holidays went better than expected. I am glad pneumonia didn't get the best of you and have the ability to make the worlds best soup if you ever need it.

As for the Resolutions I am voting for 4, 5, and 8 assuming then 9 will ahve taken care of itself and it will inspire you to handle Seven and with eight in force six will be less interesting.

I also hope you try to go pro with the writing this year because I think you have the tallent for it.

Well... no one can really tell you what to do with your life, but... as far as the job goes... ever considering doing claims work for an insurance company? My GF got a job doing it right out of college making somewhere just over 15 an hour for Progressive Insurance. They're all over the place and you can apply very easily online at www.progressive.com If nothing else, it's worth looking into... it's really good money, they give raises pretty regularly and the benefits are really good.

As far as the sex for fun goes... I'm sure there's plenty of people around the forum that would be more than happy to help you keep that resolution.

Hi Shannon -- it's great to have you back.

I agree about trying to make a go of it as a professional writer. You do have talent and skill. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve your immediate problems. Maybe getting a job as a copywriter? Oh well. Goodness knows you don't need me giving you suggestions of what to do with your life.

Have fun writing more for TTT, have fun writing your blog updates, have fun doing the newsletter, have fun having fantastic sex with someone you like and who likes and appreciates you. Have fun with everything you do this year.

Glad to see you post finally. I was worried you had gone into another quiet spell. If I had to pick from your resolutions I would pick the job, sex & Paul. The rest you can so when you have the time/feel like it.
