Rang in 2011 twice. Once with a glass of Wilson Creek Almond Champagne watching the NYE ball drop live on CNN, then stayed up until 2011 made it to the West Coast. I have to admit, I only stayed up that late b/c I wanted to see NKOTB and BSB perform. I think I might seriously have to buy a ticket to their concert when they come to Boston. So, started the new year off tired but feeling slightly better than when 2010 ended. A New Year's Day tradition is watching the Rose Parade live on KTLA with Stephanie Edwards and Bob Eubanks hosting commercial free, and this year was no exception. I remember one year camping out overnight on the streets of Pasadena along the parade path with a bunch of friends from high school. Tt was cold, we got wet from sprinklers coming on making us cold and unable to sleep; by daylight I was so ready to be home before the parade even started. One of those things you have to do once in your lifetime, and I did it... maybe this year I'll be spending NYE in Times Square, as that too is on my list of things to do once. So what about resolutions? Yes, like the Rose Parade, it is a tradition that I make a list of resolutions so here I go with 10 things I just thought of off the top of my head, time will tell how well I do with these:
1. Less status updates and more gym time.
2. Travel for myself.
3. Drink less than I did in 2010.
4. Lose and keep off the 20 pounds I want to lose.
5. Take better care of myself.
6. Do a better job keeping in touch with old friends.
7. Spend less money by buying less "things".
8. Work on spending less time on Facebook, the internet and chat and spend more time connecting with people face-to-face.
9. Listen to myself and only do the things I really want to do. (Basically learn to say no and not feel guilty about doing so.)
10. Smile more. :)
Here's to a wonderful year, a fresh start and new adventures.
