Resolutions…

For 2013, I didn’t make any.

I almost always do. Sometimes I forget. This is the first year I consciously chose not to.

Don’t worry, this isn’t a “why bother? no one ever keeps them” post. In fact, I’d rather talk about the problem with making a list of things, in one night, that will radically improve your entire year (and ideally your life).

I mean, seriously, who thought that up? Talk about biting off more than you can chew! Like I can accurately predict where I will be in a year. A year is 365 days that I am not in control of. 365 opportunities for things to go exactly as I did NOT plan them to. That’s life.

Happy New Year!

It’s New Year’s Eve!! Yay!

This is the first year I’ve spent the holiday by myself. My parents are out of town and most of my friends had previous plans or didn’t feel like going out (I didn’t either!) Some people might think it’s pathetic to spend NYE alone, but I don’t mind it. I get to watch a marathon of Harry Potter movies and eat my favorite foods. Tonight I made Jalapeno Popper Chicken (recipe review to come…I think). I also love the freedom to reflect on this past year and think about the year to come.

To be honest, I’m happy to see 2012 end. It was a rough year.

November Adventures

Prior to the month of November I made two decisions that radically impacted my month. One was free and one cost me a pretty penny but both have kept me extremely busy. Oh and there was a holiday and family drama thrown in the mix. Lovely.
