Unfortunately this is not a report of some debilitating disease from a lab test gone bad that spreads through the population like wildfire, turning people into zombies. This is just me taking account of my inability to write a blog post. Kinda pathetic really. But it’s a turning point, even though it’s taken me a few days shy of a month to post the results of the beginning of my 29th year.
I’ve decided that New Year’s day is no longer January 1st, it’s September 29th. Technically (at 8:01 p.m. MST), that day is when a new year of my life begins. The number 29, for some reason or other has taken on a level of importance that other advents have not. Perhaps it is because I turned 29 on the 29th during 2(00)9. Regardless of the reason, I’ve selected 29 goals that I’m calling my Prime Objectives. (Cheesy and lame, I know. Make sure to comment about that. Lol)
In the end, I plan on improving the quality of my life over the next year, and the Prime Objectives are the means.

Wow. I didn’t even think of the 2(00)9 part of your b-day. I wish I had 29 prime directives for my next year. Good luck and share when and what you can. Love, mom
