After all that planning and looking at dresses, I ended up sick on New Year’s Eve. I’m not a big partier, but I like to get dressed up and go out to new restaurants or events. I had a sexy black dress and everything! Not nearly as hot as Mel’s dress, but hey it was still cute! Needless to say Shane and I ended up celebrating by lighting the fireplace for the first time in our new house. We watched Total Recall and had Ferraro’s Pizza delivered. We were in the bed before 10:00, and from there I welcomed in 2013 probably while coughing and sneezing all night. Oh well, it was actually quite nice. Probably one of the best New Year’s Eves I can remember. This is how I know I’m getting older. Before I know it, I’ll probably be calling the cops on our neighbors for having their music too loud.
I don’t usually make resolutions because I try to do the things I want or think I should do year-round (not that I actually do though,) but for some reason I’m inspired to this year. I hope to work harder, study harder, spend more time with my family and friends, take more vacations, eat better, workout more, go snowskiing more, go water skiing more, express my emotions better so people know how much they really mean to me, deep clean the house more, plant a garden, try more new restaurants, go swimming more in the summer, take my makeup off every night and last but certainly not least, don’t let people get to me and hurt my feelings as easily.l Nothing life altering, but still important to me nonetheless.
NOW TO THE GOOD PART!! I am doing another giveaway this week for the beautiful Ann Taylor Pave Bow Necklace pictured below. You notice you can only see me from the chest up in the picture. That’s because I’m sick and am wearing my pajama pants on the bottom half. Just kidding (or am I? Guess you’ll never know unless you drive to my house to bring me soup and hot chocolate. Hot chocolate cures colds, right??) The giveaway will start today and will run through this Friday, January 4 at 6:00pm CST. To enter just make sure you’re following my blog via GFC and leave me a comment below telling me what your New Year’s Resolution is (or isn’t if you aren’t making any.) Happy New Year!!
New years resolution: be more outdoorsy this year!….Love the scarf!
Hope you're feeling better. I totally ordered pizza for NYE too. Stayed up for the ball drop but was in bed around 2. Early night compared to post.
I am very sick also! And I always drink hot chocolate when Im sick I think it helps 😉
I follow you on gfc and I hope I win the giveaway! Feel better!
Thank you and I think the hot chocolate helped! : )
Oops! My resolution is to drink more water everyday and be more active.
You are inspiring me for my new year resolution.

Following you on GFC and loving your blog 🙂 Found you through Holly. My New Year's Resolution is to exercise at least 5x week.
My New Year's Resolution is to stop eating crap for lunch, bring healthy snacks to work, traing for a 10k (plan to run my 1st in May)–actually started training NYE day, and to take a REAL vacation somewhere this year.
Just followed on GFC 🙂 Happy New Year!! Hope you feel better now! I bet your two little doggies must entertain you a lot while you're at home recovering! So my New Years resolution this year is the same as every year for the past couple now. I would like to live a healthy lifestyle. Make wiser health choices on what foods I eat and how much I work out.
I'm following! I'm doing the typical resolution–lose weight and exercise.
Love that necklace! … and my new years resolutions… really goals… keep running, maintain my weight, get more done on the house, make progress on my designation, get my 3 year old a better night time routine, and keep my baby happy!
