Happy New Year! (11 days late...)

I have never really been one for New Year's Resolutions. Sure I think about how I might want to change a few things here and there, but actual, steadfast resolutions? Nah. I guess a few things I would like to see in the new year though would be a more "fit" me and possibly a new job. I gotta work on my arms, a.k.a my guns, before my sister's wedding in November. So I figure I got enough time....I hope... :) damned sleeveless bridesmaid dress.

I hope everyone had an awesome New year's, I know I did.

Myself and one of my best friends, Tess

Myself and my handsome man

All the girls, love them!

Told you I had a good time.

You'll shoot your eye out!

You know what is possibly my favorite part of Christmas each year? The 24 hour long marathon of "the Christmas Story" on TBS. I have been known to watch it at least 4 times in one day. I love it so. I hope I never get sick of it. What a great tradition, TBS!



Deck the halls wif baws of howrry, Fa ra ra ra ra, ra-ra ra ra!

I'm ashamed to say...

This sounds delicious....

oh Halloween.

This year you have been better than past ones in recent years. I will not be sharing a lot of pictures....in fact you only get two. One of me and my new best friend, Captain Planet, and a second picture of my awesome roommate and her boyfriend. Bonus points for guessing who they were dressed as :)

Hope you had an awesome Halloween too!
