hello 2010!

1. i'm hoping to follow this quote this year found via it's mary ruffle.

2. funny thing, years and years ago while at a a lallapolooza concert, friends of ours were not having fun {dirt, paper cups, plastic bottles etc etc were being thrown all over the place} i told her "you're having as much fun as you allow yourself too" and this is something i have repeated to my kids, now i need to start repeating it to myself.

3. new years eve was a hoot! there was tons of yummy food, drinks, conversation, dancing, picture taking, kids being cute... everyone in my family managed to stay up to ring in the new year. (ham was with his friends)

4. today has been spent vegging on the couch and eating whatever we can find. {mike's been in his mancave watching football}

5. i pretty much have the same new years resolution that i normally have: exercise- get in shape, be a nicer person, shop less, save more, do more, cook more....you get the idea. i definitely want to take more pictures this year!

6. hard to believe but yes, i'm a list maker. so i'm totally digging this calendar by redstar ink.

7. i made these yesterday. they turned out to be pretty yummy. been eating whatever i have left over all day.

8. today's been a beautiful day outside. lots of freshly fallen snow with no one touching it. so pretty!

9. our crazy neighbors who live behind our neighborhood is firing off some fireworks. they look pretty too!

10. even though i want to save money, i have a weird urge to go to costco's.
