it's a new day!

So long 2010, HELLO 2011!

I know I'm a week late on "ringing in" the new year, but seeing as how I'm always late for everything, it seems fitting.

So, here's a very short 2010 recap (the first things that come to my mind):

I started a blog. Shoveled snow. Re-vamped my guest bathroom. Made home made bread. Became a huge fan of cooking. Started collecting recipes. Used the grill for the first time by myself. Had a "Goodwill Fashion Show". Watched with pride (and teary eyes) as my nephew Graduated high school. Had my best friend (my sister) move to Germany. Hosted a party. Took my 82 year old Grandmother to D.C. (her first time ever). Laid in bed laughing with my husband, a lot. Hiked. Drank a lot of really good wine. Ran around the front yard catching lightening bugs with my true love. Kissed under fireworks. Lost 27 lbs. Zumba-ed (how do you make that past tense?). Upgraded my cell phone. Drank a lot, and I do mean A LOT, of coffee. Cried. Laughed. Had a stomach virus. Fell in love with Edward (from Twilight saga) again. Held a new born baby boy (and fell in love). Shopped more than I should have. Aided in making my nephew a coffee-addict. Contemplated leaving my job. Missed my sister. Wore my warm hat from Germany with pride. Gossiped. Sang in the car. Took a lot of pictures. Smiled. Felt sorry for myself. Felt lonely. Felt safe. Felt lost. Felt angry. Felt Jealous. Felt loved. Felt blessed. Felt scared. Felt ridiculously happy. Rang in the new year at home, with my love, watching fireworks from the ski resort, happy/warm/and together.

I don't have resolutions for this year, and I'm okay with that. Actually, I'm more than "okay" with that. I'm excited to not have expectations this year.

Happy 2011!
