Happy New Year 2017!

[Deleted]

I feel like none of us really post here anymore.  It's kind of sad because this was my home board.  I just saw a post on ML about 2017 predictions and it made me search for our predictions from last year. pandce.proboards.com/post/10802617/thread
I post on ML now as a bunch of us do.  
A little update:   This year brought some big changes for me.  We relocated out of state!  I absolutely love it and my new job is great!  I have full time hours, but it is 4 days per week.  It really has made a difference for me and I feel that my work life balance is better.  I do miss some food from NYC, but that's about all.  The transition has not been as easy for J, but he's finally got a good position and is getting acclimated.  I've realized that it's not easy to maintain long distance friendships, but it is what it is.   I'm excited that we'll be house hunting pretty soon!  




It seems like it was ages ago and we've lost contact with most of the old regulars.   Wishing ALL of you, old and new,  a very happy and healthy new year filled with wonderful things!

Hoping some of you will chime in!

Ahhh...reading that post makes me wish 2016 never happened, i feel like we were all so hopeful and shiny.

What's up with me? I feel like im in the same place, but different. Vegas and i broke up in February, but we have been friends since and is actually been really great.
I'm still at my same job, but i did get a promotion and big raise, so it isn't so bad. I have been talking with a recruiter at a big gaming company here and it could be an exciting opportunity, but until then im actually pretty happy with what im doing.

This year, I'm trying out the oneword365 method and i will be focusing on 'trust'. Mainly, i need to remember to trust that everything will be fine, it always had been.

I feel like SO it's no longer my board. I started over, im moving on, but i do check in to see how everyone is.

[RamblingRose]

Well. School went well. Imma little tearful about the other predictions for me.

[doriswe]

This sent me to previous years' predictions...bittersweet reading some of those.

[sweetchix]

Well, no promotion for me but @blueyes623 and I did meet this year.

[cuddlyevil]

Aw. Mine did not turn out totally as predicted. WG and I never got the chance to see if there was more. But, he and I will be friends. He is happily married now.

I didn't find anyone who wanted to stick around for more than three dates. But I am okay with that. I have managed to make some really kick ass friends and scored a really great job.

[1confused1]

2017 is a milestone year for me, I turn 40 and it is the 5 year anniversary of my separation/divorce.

I am hoping to lose 50 pounds before my birthday, hoping that my xh stops the damn custody battle and hoping my kids and I remain happy and healthy. I know at least 2 of those will happen.

Happy New Year everyone!!!

I didn't intend for this to upset anyone.  Sorry.

I did continue to love my job despite many ups and downs! Still haven't met anyone or dated someone sweet. But making this next year the year of me. I'm really focusing on my wellness. More tea less booze, more yoga, less sitting on the couch. I just want to be healthy inside and out and feel strong and content. I'm currently purchasing a diffuser and wouldn't doubt a salt lamp is next lol!

It's okay. I was wondering if that was the prediction for me. It was almost true. ::shrug:: I'm dealing with it.

 2017 is a new clean slate for all of us. 

[pinkdutchtulips]

just one .... that my divorce finalizes

its been a nightmare simply bc i'm a pro per and xh is unresponsive. you would think that in our situation, that a default judgment would be rubber stamped. nope ... infuriating.

i hope my love life in 2017 is a whole lot better than 2016 that was a roller coaster

Not going to lie, I wanted to send you a virtual hug before even reading the prior predictions, RamblingRose. Hugs, girl!

Mcc is planning her wedding and I'm guessing too busy and in love to check in here which is amaze-balls. 

WHERE IS MY BABY PREDICTION??? Cause he came out and he is awesome and was due a year after Starburst's beautiful little lady! He is equally as stinking adorable, if I do say so myself, LOL. <3

Possibly a #2 for 2017 if I can figure things out to shoot for it soon. We'll see! I'd be blessed with another kid like this - minus the crazy ties and allergies, LOL. He is the best thing ever, even if he has me up every hour still. *yawn*

[starburst604]

pandora #2?!?! Omg you need to sell me some of whatever energy you have. A second is looking less and less likely for us. I'm not a candidate for IVF (with my own eggs anyway), and conceiving naturally is unlikely but not totally impossible. It's obviously shelved right now till after I run the marathon. It's kind of ok, we are so ambivalent about it and are just kind of in the "if it happens, it happens" mindset.

I am sad this board became so slow.

I really hope 2017 is the year everything comes together for me. Like @pdx18, I am really focusing on my mental and physical health. I am scheduled to see my neurosurgeon in a couple weeks to see if I am able to do yoga and any other type of exercises.

I have the following goal for the new year:

- pay off my debt
- lose 30 lbs take care of my health in general
- start dating again
- take/pass my certification test
- apply for out of state jobs and possibly move

I hope I come back to this post next year having accomplished some of the goals.

Happy and Healthy New Year to all you lovely ladies!

Happy New Year!

[boing]

Aw, thanks for thinking of me! I still check in on you ladies every now and then but since my new job in 2015 I can't post at work so I just don't (except in the Pokémon thread on ML)
I follow a lot of you on IG.
I've been happily married for a little over 6 months now, and still loving my job. Hoping to buy a house in 2017 and repair some relationships with family, friends and the gym that I've neglected. Miss you ladies!

[boing]

I also dislike that Tapatalk shows my name as bb instead of boing and for awhile there was a controversial person with BB as her display name so I kept getting mixed up with her and decided to just stop posting ha. I think she's gone now.

Ha, I SO don't have the energy but I'm running out of time so I feel like it's now (2017) or never. It was a really tough pregnancy so I know it will only get worse in time if I'm lucky enough to be again. We'll see. I have a bit to figure out before being able to try again. I'm probably thinking craziness, LOL.

Happy new year 2017 to all of you! I wish you a magical years with happiness and love....and wine .

[glitzyglow]

Happy New Year, all! Thanks for thinking of me @blueyes623 ! I'm sorry you've had a rough start to the new year, but I think you deserve someone much better than J...the things he said are not okay ever. Be gentle with yourself as you navigate the grief, but remember you are awesome and he is not.

I don't post as much, mostly due to being busy, but also this website often reroutes me to either a different website or tries to get me to download a virus. It happens on both my phone and laptop, so it's hard to be on the site. In the past 5 minutes it already told me I needed to download a patch (sure I do).

Updates: I received a promotion in October, so now I do a job that I really love and keeps me on my toes. It came with a pay increase, which has made a wonderful difference in my life. I can say honestly that I love my job and that feels great to say, especially since the first 1.5 years in Nashville I could not say that and it really affected my overall well-being. That said, this new job also keeps me very, very busy! 2017 doesn't appear to give any sort of rest in my job, but hey, that's a good thing! I'm also shopping around for a new apartment...my OWN apartment! My roommate has been great for the most part, but it's just time for me to be on my own. I'm actually seeing an apartment shortly in my dream neighborhood, so I'm really excited that 2017 is starting off with positive changes and hopes!

No special guy in my life, but I'm super okay with that currently because this past year has been a great experiment in really finding myself. With the job and the upcoming move on my radar, I'm just focusing on myself and making my life the life I want it to be.

I hope 2017 is spectacular for you all with lots of joy and goodness!

[stephreloaded]

Thanks for thinking of me. I hope you have an amazing 2017 ahead of you!!!

There is not much new with me this year. Still same job, still working too much and kind of tired of it. I feel like I spent 2016 sick. I did get surgery and feeling much better now. I also put on a ton of weight so I am hoping to at least get more active. I am going to focus on me and my well being this year. I keep on putting DD first and forgetting about me. I also finish grad school this year so I am looking forward to be able to sleep like a normal person.

I haven't seen anyone but I have gotten close to a couple of people that do bring joy to my life so that prediction was right.
