Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all my blogging friends!  


I am so excited for 2011.  Mostly because 2010 sucked
But hey, so far, things are looking up, especially since I will end my year long stint of unemployment in two weeks!!!  So so excited for that.  


So I've been wondering what your resolutions are?  
Mine didn't go too well last year.
But this year, this year is going to be different!  
Right?  Right!


My overall goal is :  be more productive.
Problem with this is its largely unmeasurable, 
and I like goals that I can CROSS OFF a list.
Have you learned that about me yet?  ha!


So here are a few more of my goals for 2011....



  • Ride bike enough to pay for itself - (more on this later, but I got that super cute bike from my mom for xmas!!)
  • Volunteer
  • Get back to my happy weight (not my skinniest ever, just the one I am at when I'm being healthy)
  • Complete 30 tasks from my Day Zero list.
  • Finish decorating our house.
  • Do the dishes right after dinner.
  • Make British friends
  • Go on a honeymoon
  • Get to bed by 11pm 
  • Start our art collection
  • Go on a cool date with Nick once a month (we are alternating months, he is planning this month... and I am planning next month - any ideas?)
  • Annnnnnnnnnd, last but not least - Explore the Peak District (the national park which we basically live in ) once a month!  

All these pictures were taken in the Peak District over Christmas.  
It really is a pretty place.  
Good luck with your resolutions if you're making them!  
I'd love to know what they are!

  7. Cool dates, hm...

    If you like coffee, my husband and I have done "coffee tours" of Milwaukee and Chicago. I blogged about them - here's the link to Chicago: http://www.thedailysnapshot.org/2010/11/coffee-tour-windy-city-style.html

    Otherwise, going to the theater (real theater, as in plays) or winter picnics (candlelit inside your living room, or inside the car at the seaside) are fun as well. Anything out of the ordinary!
