Almost a new year!

So I know it's lame, and almost destined to fail, but I have two New Year's resolutions.

1. Be more positive. This includes complaining less and getting less angry when I'm driving. I think I'm pretty positive in general, but these are two areas where I feel like I should try to improve. 2. Stop frivolously online shopping. This is the big one. It is going to be so hard I know. But going into debt by ordering jewelry online seems pretty silly. So therefore it is a necessary step. Hopefully it works out!
In 2010 here are a few trips I want to make sure I take too.

1. NY with Karim

2. Austin to visit Stacey

3. Vacation somewhere fun with Karim

4. (Obviously) Ocean City, MD with my sister and Nicole

I'm actually excited to be starting a new year. I hope everyone has a fun and safe New Year's Eve!

Beach Time and a Giveaway!

Tamara from Block Party Press and Block Party Prints is having another giveaway! This time it's on the blog Sweeter Than Me. Two winners will be chosen and one will get a print and the other a magnet set. Crossing my fingers for this one! I really really want the Sew In Love print! In related new, I took my beach ball ring where it belongs this weekend - to the beach! Saturday was really cold and windy. Sandra and I were on the beach for five hours in sweatshirts, pants and wrapped in towels the whole time! Fortunately Sunday and Monday were much nicer, and I could actually wear a bathing suit on the beach! Got some weird burnt spots (one side of my neck and my ankles) due to a poor sunblock application, but overall it's not too bad. Could have been a lot worse. Another highlight of the weekend is that Dirty Dancing was on TV both nights!! I am so sad Patrick Swayze passed away but oh so happy they are playing Dirty Dancing a ton now.

OC!!

My sister, Sandra, and I are headed to Ocean City, Maryland this weekend! Hopefully the weather will cooperate! I don't necessarily want to, but if needed, I'm willing to lay on the beach in a sweatshirt with a blanket. Here is out itinerary: wake up, free continental breakfast at the hotel(!), beach time, Subway for lunch, beach again, Tequila Mockingbird for dinner and margaritas, going to sleep. Sounds like the perfect vacation to me!!!

I know I need to quit it with the faux Polaroids, but I made this one last week to send to Sandra!
