the day after...

well i'm awake.  with a grumbly belly, runny nose and overall tiredness.

so far i'm not hungover.  and although we did start celebrating the new year yesterday afternoon (possibly around noon), as the evening progressed, i really started "slow-stepping" it on the alcohol.  by midnight i'm pretty sure i was completely sober, but i was still having a good time.  most of yesterday was spent playing dr.mario on the wii.  i must say, it was the best $10 i ever spent and accounted for hours, yes HOURS of fun.  to the point where we turned the damn game into a drinking game, which may have to turn into a new tradition for party nights. 

my house is full of sleeping friends.  because we're all responsible adults and i would never EVER let someone leave my home thats been drinking.  i'm just glad i was able to provide comfy cozy spots for everyone.  maybe that extra mattress is worth hanging on to, haha.

so 2010 is over.  honestly, i can't sit here and pin-point things that happened every month during that year.  but i'm glad to say its over.  for the most part 2010 was a year of struggle, not only for me, but a lot of my friends as well.  i was glad to say goodbye and say hello to a new and promising year.

i'm not really one for making "resolutions"  but i would like to try harder at some things, such as:

  • making healthier choices in general.  such as eating better and exercising (i did buy a gym membership!)
    • not to mention:  healthier choices in the way i live on this earth and healthier choices for my mental and spiritual state.  
  • spend less time online and stop being so technology obsessed.
    • as a society i think a lot of us have really lost touch with whats important because we're all to busy playing on our phones, laptops, social networking sites, etc.
    • since i went into the new year already having quit facebook, i feel good about this.  i spend less time on the computer now, i use it for what i need and get off right away.  although i will update my blog.
  •  travel.
    • i say this every year, i make plans, BIG plans, tell them to everyone and then everything falls through.  but not this year dammit!  i will go somewhere haha!
  • continue the constant strive to stay positive.
    • the power of positive thinking is no joke, i truly believe this.  however, being and staying positive is really hard for me.  sometimes i have no idea why i am such a downer 99% of the time.
  • stay in touch with friends.
    • now that i am facebookless, i have to remember not to alienate my friends and family.  i must stay in touch!
  • adventure with the boys as much as possible.
    • remember that each new day with them is a blessing and full of endless opportunities.  spend more time together as a family enjoying and learning from eachother.  make time to try and see new things.  cook together, eat together, play together, laugh and cry together, just be together.  happy and healthy.
  • continue being a crafty bitch!
    • 'nuff said!
  • make the effort
    • im going to be vague on this.
  • realize that its okay to put a little focus on yourself sometimes and not feel guilty about it.
    • this one is going to be hard for me, but i know i have to do it.  i go without a lot of things all the time because i feel guilty about spending any time/money on myself.  but this year, i need to get over this and realize that sometimes its okay to buy that $5 bottle of OPI nailpolish or spend the money to have my haircut more than once a year.

and thats it from me!

i hope everyone has an amazing year!
