.goals for 2011.

i had one new years resolution for 2010, never drink another energy drink.
yes i understand thats kind of a whimpy resolution, start small and feel some success right.
im very proud to announce that i did it!
i have much bigger aspirations for 2011.
1. lose 15 pounds
2. save $500 a month for a total savings of $6,000

and thats pretty much it. wish me luck.

nye 2010, the roof
apparently dan didnt want to look at the camera, and i guess neither of us wanted to show our teeth. haha.

.no pictures = :( .

christmas came and went and i did not take a single picture.
not one.
i guess we were too busy partying, opening gifts, playing games, singing fancy songs, stuffing our fat faces, sledding...
you get the idea.
i miss it already, it makes me sad that you spend months preparing and then bam, its over.
it was great, spending quality time with the family, and just taking it easy.
p.s. just in case you were wondering... i got everything on my list except the watch + way too much more. im a little, or maybe a lot, spoiled.
oh, and i took the g.r.e., i did much better than i expected and i felt happy about that.
oh, and the mr and i met over one year ago (12.26.2009) we're gonna celebrate tomorrow.
xoxo

.classic christmas movies.

such as rudolf the red nose reindeer, christmas comes but once a year, etc...
are seriously SO funny.
i saw them on netflix and thought it would be fun to watch them with my class.
we could not stop laughing at how cheesy they were, one of them even included some sing-a-long songs.
you should probably check them out, on netflix or here.
they are sure to bring the christmas spirit.

attention please

dear santa,
let me begin by thanking you for the amazing gifts you gave me last year. you're pretty cool.
this year i want the following:

.this beautiful dress from banana, and i even have a 40% coupon for the next 2 wednesdays, if you want it.

.these little cuties, to match. available at nordstrom, in stores and online..this gorgeous watch, also available at nordstrom.

.these beautiful peal studs, found at zales..and last, but certainly, not least. the nook color.

thanks, santa.
p.s. i've been really, really, really good this year. don't forget it.

.oh my gosh. i love it.

i absolutely love christmas.

with. my. whole. soul.
its coming so soon, i have lots of presents still to buy, lots of fudge still to eat, lots of movies still to watch.
but before then, i better study for the gre, which is 15 short days away.
taking a little break from studying in las vegas last weekend. that polar bear was made of nothing but flowers. awesome.

.footsie parties galore.

.kait.lake.riv.me.

it all started when one of my pals invited me to a footsie party

(you know, those super cute jammies that go from head to toe, literally)
that night we ran, slid across the floor, and had a general good time.
i decided that this kind of party was way too much fun and needed to happen more often.
.so.
when jenny and the kids came to town for thanksgiving we put on our party gear and let the good times roll

pictures above are from party number one, the next day we went to target got more footsies and had another party.
don't worry, that night we went out to crisps, the local grocery store, to get snacks and i saw my boss. in my footsies. embarrassing i know. i bet he thought i was so cool though, so no big deal.
as soon as jenny emails pics from party number two ill post em. they are cooler cause rivy matched kait and i.

.next on the list.

g.r.e.
hopefully this means graduate school for me next fall
