Happy New Year!

I'm looking forward to 2011. Odd years are usually my best years. I don't know if that's just self-fulfilling prophecy or the fact that so much less is expected of odd years vs. their even counterparts. Whatever the reason, they are my favs. I also love the beginning of anything (the week, month, year) because I feel like I have a fresh start... an opportunity to be something new, to replace bad habits with better ones, and to look forward without worrying about all the baggage I "should be" carrying. I feel like 2011 might give me that chance. Can it be like magic? The clock strikes 12 and miraculously failures fade away into the brightness of new dreams and new adventures to be had. I hope so. That's what I'm holding my breath for. An opportunity to start fresh and try again. To cut back on all the failed goals of 2010 and reach the simple, well defined goals of 2011. I suppose only time will tell.

Happy new year to all our friends and family. We love you and we miss you... especially tonight.

Loves & hugs,

Deb

Gingerbread Houses of Awesome

So our friends the Cechini's had us over to make Gingerbread Houses. And while mine is your traditional house with Hershey Kiss Pine Trees, Joe's morphed into the Trailer of Awesome, complete with pink flamingo, inflatable palm tree and lawn chair. The beer cans didn't make it through the move from their house to ours, but I hope you can appreciate his design! Loving it!
