Happy New Year! Frohes Neues! My Resolution is...



NYE Wheeling 08/09

This year, like most years, Jordan and I stayed in for NYE.  One of the less glamours aspects of hockey is there are always games around "party" hollidays (i.e. Halloween, NYE).  The team had a game January first so it was the usual low key NYE.  Not a problem with either of us, going out on new years is too expensive and overrated, right?!?!  We just keep telling ourselves that.  I feel like the last NYE we went out we were 19 and at the Vibe in Peterborough!  Joking, he did go to college and I think I remember going out for NYE in Wheeling, WV... must have been a good one if a barely remember it!

We went for a nice dinner at am AMAZING steak house the night before with a few other couples.  It was one of the best steaks I have ever had.  The restaurant was nothing fancy but the meal was to die for.  The steak cooked on the hot stone underneath it so you could eat it as rare or well cooked as you like.

Our actual NYE was spent at home doing a puzzle of the Toronto Skyline that we found at the grocery store.  We popped a bottle of champagne, watched multiple concerts on TV, and puzzled away until midnight.  It sounded like we were in a war zone come countdown time.  Everyone around us did their own fireworks show and everywhere you looked there was lights and smoke.  We sat out on our balcony taking it all in until it was too cold.  I wish I had a picutre of the fireworks but my camera is horrible and doesn't do them justice.

New Year’s Resolution

I never stick to my new years resolutions.  It is always something ridiculous like workout everyday, not buy Tim Hortons for a year, put major restraints on my shopping budget... (I know these are all possible but my will power is weak)

So this year I chose something simple but important:

It's weird but I go days without having a single glass.  I HATE pop, always have, and when I am dyeing of thirst I have a glass of juice.  So not healthy!  I only like water if it is freezing cold and I am boiling hot.  Time to make a change.  Look at all the great things water consumption will do!

I am starting by drinking a full glass in the morning, noon, and night.  Hopefully I can start consuming more as time goes on.  I even have a great reminder to put on the fridge.

Hope everyone is sticking to their resolutions, afterall it's only day three haha!  Goodluck and all the best to everyone in 2012.  Twelve Jordan's and my fav. # so it's bound to be a good one!
