Just when I finally got used to dating everything 2-0-1-0, I now have to remember to date everything 2-0-1-1. It seems like 2010 was just a blink ago...
January: brand spanking new baby nephew, fresh beginning with a new job, AVATAR!!!
February: massive snow storm, a very special Chinese New Year/V-day, sore butt from ice-skating missteps, international spies
March: more snow, Alice, aloft, I get to know
April: flower-filled, cherry blossoms frenzy, gardens adventure, Canal walk,
May: weekend getaways, I know more
June: b-day celebrations, SixFlags, watermelons, kiss & makeup
July: National Zoo, Maryland blue crabs binge, Fireworks!!! unforgettable weekend getaways
August: Unbelievable b-day weekend that makes me believe in fairy tales again
September: Fabulous Labor day weekend, horrors of human greed, an anniversary of something that has "feet" stamped all over it, fried oreos,
October: skyline drive, Lurray caverns, fall is for lovers
November: apple picking, Thomas Jefferson's home, exceptional dumplings! HARRY POTTER madness, Thanksgiving warmth, post-Thanksgiving craziness with midnight shopping on Black Friday; anticipation
December: blue blue blue waters of the Caribbeans, floating in St. Thomas, snorkeling in St. Lucia, balcony explorations, food binges, Xmas small but fulfilling, too short a staycation.
I had a beautiful 2010. It was filled with adventures, fun, and most important, LOVE. If there was a word to describe 2010, it would be love. Sheer. Pure. Love. 2010 was also filled with food. Lots of food. I ate at so many new places and tried so many new dishes. On the cruise alone, I ate enough food for 3 people. I officially pronounce 2011 as the year in which I am no longer a size 0; I am officially a 2.... now if only I can strategically direct the placement of fat...
For 2011, I hope it will bring more joy and love, more experiences that I can tell to my grand-kids when I'm old and wrinkled. My resolutions... I used to not believe in this whole resolutions thing, because it seemed a bit contrived to make a list of changes only because it is the new year; why not any other time? But I've come to not be so picky and snobby. New year, new slate, new start. Beautiful.
Resolutions:
1. Write more often, at least 1 post per week.
2. Spend less!!! no more spontaneous shopping sprees, no more impulsive buys.
3. Keep organized: no more hoarding of junk, give away more stuff, thin out closet
4. Use up more products
5. Keep up with friends
6. Drink more water
7. Procrastinate less
8. Pictures: take more, learn PS skillz, make prints
9. More tree-hugging.
10. More nerd.
Of course there are more things I could add to that list that I think would make me a better person, but I'll keep it there for now. It's important to keep the list doable and reasonable!
2011. Je suis pret.
