We spent a relaxing New Years with our friends Nate and Jean. We ate yummy food, played games and just hung out, laughed and had a good time (and a sleep over!).
(Oops, I cut off Dick's face but I love that it looks like he's wearing my earring.)
The kids had fun with some popper things from Grandma and Grandpa and stayed up WAYYY too late (and were up way too early the next morning).

Here are some of my 2011 resolutions (which really aren't New Years resolutions, it just happens to be New Years):
*focus on and be nicer and more attentive to my family*
*get physically fit*
(I know this is one that's said all the time but I've lost 15 pounds just by not eating so much junk and now it's time to tone it all up and get that bikini body!)
*have more creative time/channel my inner creativity*
(I'm pretty sure I said this one last year too and I'm getting there... This is not my scrap area, I wish it was! It belongs to this cute, creative girl.)
*blog more*
('nough said)
*be more dedicated and productive at work*
(I started out my new job- in September- all ready to learn and get things done. Well, that lasted about a month and now I'm back into what we call "government mode" and I'm determined to get out of it. Oh, and since I can't take pictures in my building I put a picture of what we help maintain- F16's, kinda cool.)
*keep a cleaner home/make my home homier*
(I've been slacking so much these past few months and the mess makes me kinda cranky. Also, I want to paint and decorate a bit more- make things OURS.)
And last but not least...
*be HAPPIER*
(I've had some tough times in 2010 and have been a very negative, snappy person- especially these past couple months. My poor family, I think they are about sick of me. I've heard "I don't love you anymore" and "you're mean, Mom" from my kids more times that any mom would care to. And I used to look at people like me (the past few months me) and wonder how people can go through life like that. Well, no more!)
So here's to a happier, nicer, fitter, cleaner, more creative, more productive year..
Happy 2011!

THANK YOU FOR POSTING!!! I always think about taking my blog down and doing away with it but then I read somebody elses and I'm reminded of how much I love the blogging world. That's the first time I've ever seen Nate. I pictured him as a scrawny twiggy guy. I don't know why, just did. His personality fits him better with what he really looks like. Glad ya had a good New years! I'm gonna try and be a happier person too! That's a great list ya got going. Best of luck to ya for 2011:) Love ya my friend!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I like all your goals. I feel the same way, about trying to be happier (and easier to be around.) I love ya, and I think you're just great! You can come hang around me any time and we can be mean and cynical together. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree great goals. I think you're pretty awesome. Be sure to cut yourself some slack. The dishes will aren't going anywhere fast, but childhood lasts for only a moment. Heres to being happier though, I need to work on that one too!
ReplyDeleteThanks girls! Love you all!
