Adios 2010... Buenos Dias 2011

This'll likely be my last post o' the year. Here at Job #2 and then heading straight to Jon's so we can get to his gig 'round bout 9pm. Tomorrow I need to SLEEP seriously and I cannot wait. I only got 10 hrs of sleep total the past 2 nights. Tuesday night Jon was over at my house and we were lounging in bed, him playing his National Resonator and me singing. We were up 'til 2 am doing that and then I happened to check my Facebook and found out some terrible news about a musician friend of ours who had died suddenly a few hrs ago. Mean Gene gave Jon his 1st break into the local music scene and so Jon was pretty upset. We were up another hour after that, Jon calling/texting people about it.

Last night I went to the jam at the Big Easy and hung out w/LDB and his new GF and this cool librarian chick who is also a blues scenester. I didn't want to play though, and I didn't. I've been drinking wine lately b/c for the 1st time in my entire life my Process is not only late, it's 2 weeks late and yes, I took 2 pregnancy tests earlier this week which both came out negative, so that gave me permission to get back on the hard drinks last night (Crown and Diet Coke)--tall ones! Still not sure why the Process isn't working right, but I guess there's a first time for everything! Anyway, so Jon and I were up late again after we got back to my place and I'll sure be up late again tonight. Hence the need to SLEEP LATE tomorrow which I will.

Otherwise tomorrow should be a pretty sedate day; I guess we'll have to head to Jon's gig in the early evening but otherwise I got the whole day free and I am so gwine enjoy it though I bet it'll go by fast. 2010 was overall a pretty damn good year I have to say. I learned so much about myself and especially love and relationships. I am so grateful I got to spend most of it w/Stefano, who showed me the kind of love I really deserve, and showed me what a wonderful, healthy fun relationship really is. I miss him, I truly do but I guess he still hates me. Anyway, I'll never again settle for anything less than near-perfection, which is what Stefano was to me.

Ending the year with Jon is also near-perfect. We are an incredibly amazing match together and we love each other so much. He's already proven to be so good for me in so many ways. The 2-drink maximum policy he inspired me to initiate, and his gentle, loving calmness has been just what I needed. His musicianship has also been a huge influence on me. His family and friends are all great to be around. I can't wait to get our music project up and running, and in fact he already got us a gig playing at a friend of his' house next weekend, just the 2 of us probably sans drummer! I'm also looking forward to 2011 being a big year for us in every other way too, as I do want to start officially seeing if I can get pregnant or not mid-to-late 2011. (If I'm not already that is, but I don't think I am!)

So that's it. I've got a good station in life now and I have no heavy complaints--a far cry from 2009, that's for sure. Gwine move forward in 2011 and accomplish more great stuff. And always, strive to be a better me. Happy New Year to all of us!
