Welcome, 2013!

I was blessed to welcome 2013 in Niagara Falls with the love of my life. A full Canadian recap is to come, but for now I’m welcoming a new year with pork, sauerkraut, and potatoes. Isn’t that what everyone else does? How about the Mummer’s Parade, Rose Bowl, and black-eyed peas for good luck? No?

I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful start to the new year. Just like every other hopeful person, I have a few resolutions and this year I’m really hoping to stick to them. Perhaps if I post about them, you all will keep me in check? Wishful thinking…

In 2013, I want…

1. to stick to a healthy diet. I want to take care of my body and keep myself healthy. Note to self: healthy doesn’t always mean stick thin.
2. to stop swearing. But let’s be honest, this is SERIOUS wishful thinking.
3. to save money.
4. to travel, laugh, and have twice as much fun as I did in 2012.
5. to continue writing at least 1 handwritten note per week to a friend/loved one/Dane.

And I think 5 is just about where I start to lose track of all the things I want to do…like get to bed early after a night that may or may not have included an entire bottle of Cupcake wine, more rum and diets than I care to admit & a cheese platter.

Cheers to THAT, ladies and gentleman. What are your new year’s resolutions? Or am I the only one who still does these things?
