Welcome to the year 1 A.B.

Today I woke up and I felt things that I haven't felt in a long time. I am renewed with a new sense of strength, determination, energy and confidence. Do you know why? Because today marks a new year, a new century. Today marks the year 1 A.B.

In the year A.B. you can do things that you never thought possible. In the year A.B I have a new sense for living live and being happy.  Today I wore a black shirt and brown Sperry's, I would have never mixed black and brown, but today I did because it's the new year. Today I got the most amazing sales at Target and Walmart while doing grocery shopping, only because in the year A.B I am lucky. In the year A.B I will set realistic goals for myself, instead of wanting to be a size nothing I will try to lose 10 pounds so I can be the size I was before the wedding. In the year A.B anything is possible. In the year A.B I will not have nervous breakdowns because I'm scared of high school kids or the future. In the year A.B. we might even buy a house! In the year A.B. big brother (Mario) and best friend (Kim Possible) will find jobs in Dallas and move closer to me. In the year A.B I will not feel old and boring but young and alive. Yes, the year A.B will have it all for me and for you too. And from now on I will celebrate the amazingness that is brought by this new year.

Welcome to the year A.B also know as the year After Brownie.

The Brownie that changed it all. One brownie to rule the World!

I know at this point many of you might be concerned that I have lost my mind, but never fear it is the opposite. You see yesterday I found out I had passed my ESL teacher test. Kim Possible sent me a box of Tiff Treats as a celebration because she knew that I had been worried about my test and was going through some difficult times. Little did I know that inside the box amongst the cookies would be this little treat (actually not so little he was huge it took me all day to eat him) The Brownie. For some reason this treat changed everything about the way I was feeling and the way I was acting. He gave me everything that I needed to believe in a better everything starting now. The brownie encouraged me to fill out an application to LegoLand in Dallas, I would be the best worker ever. 

The Brownie helped me see that if something this delicious was possible in this world, then anything was possible. That I could do anything. This how the year After Brownie was born, it just seemed that everything after the brownie was better. Simply because I am better (even with the added calories of such an enormous chocolate mountain of happiness).

With so much in this life trying to bring us down sometimes you need to hold onto something that makes things different for you, for me it just happens to be The Brownie
