Back in Black

So my blogging days begin again. Happy New Year! It was absolutely the busiest holiday season I have ever experienced, and I imagine the first of many to come. It was back and forth, here and there, the entire holidays! It was absolutely unbelievable. I mean, it was fun, but it was exhausting. Today has been my first day off. Today is my holiday.

Happy New Year, Me!

I got pretty much every single thing that I wanted, I ate far too much for my own good, I talked only to people I liked (had time for) I baked cookies, I sang carols, and best of all I got to spend it with my dear boyfriend.

We got each other the same gift you know, and under the same circumstances as well. We each got each other a Nintendo DS Lite with all the extras, and each ordered online and had to pick up from the same location! We also both bought and returned a DS, on account of the first one we each bought was absolutely not the right colour after all!

I found him a limited edition Pokemon DS with a case (and a kiddie DVD, not really the selling point on that one!) and he adored it, he is absolutely a loser in every way imaginable and yet each passing day I just want to slobber more all over his fuzzy little face. Sigh, what a dreamboat. But I digress.

So that was that, then. My brothers had a spectacular Christmas, we all had a spectacular new years celebration fit with punch and a teensy bit of vodka, pickles and cheese with crackers, chips and cookies, "Lips" Karaoke game for the XBox 360, and so much more. And what's a complete new years without making my younger brother do something absolutely horrid for the mere price of $5? This year we made him a shot glass filled with our own personal concoction, made up of: barbeque sauce, ketchup, salad dressing, hot sauce, pepper, sea food sauce, strawberry jam, vinegar... the list goes one. Needless to say he drank it, gagged, but did not vomit, thusly earning him his $5.

I resolve to lose weight (get in shape, get healthy, however you'd like to put it. I just want to look pretty!) I resolve to paint more, write more, scrapbook more! Learn to ballroom dance! Tryout some Turbo Jam! Spend less.

Recieve one very expensive piece of hand jewelry?
Maybe...

But, this is going to be the greatest year of my entire life! And I absolutely can't wait to dive into it and enjoy absolutely every minute to its fullest! This year will both set me free, and help me strengthen my foundation! It will contain laughter, tears, stopping, breathing, running, jumping again! It will contain hundreds of hugs, thousands of kisses, endless hand-holds, trips, adventures! I could go on forever!

And it all begins right now!
