Wow - 2011

Can you believe it, 2011? Is it just me or did this past year fly by?? I'm not complaining as overall it was a good one. A few pitfalls, but nothing I can't handle.

We moved to Mexico. Can you believe a year ago we moved back here? Has it been that long? Funny as it still feels brand new to me at times. I'll have to do something about that.

I'm still working on my New Year's resolution(s). A tad tardy, but whos' paying attention anyways? Normally I am not really the resolution kinda gal, but since spending the last year in Mexico I feel somewhat inclined. My attitude towards living in Mexico is not the best right now, and I know the only way out of this funk is by changing my attitude stat. So for sure that will have to be a top contender.... Oh, and the gym. I haven't been in almost 3 full weeks, and guaranteed put on 5 solid pounds while in Canada. No lie. Que pena!!

Just to add a bit more randomness to this post, here's a quick flash of our New Years Eve.

We rang in the New Year in style. We ended up going to a restaurant with about 40 of our family and friends.It was lovely as we had the entire garden area reserved for us. We paid 400 pesos for all you can eat, and drink for 3 hours. Now that is a deal. We stayed there until about 1 in the morning, and then moved the party to our friends place partying until 7am. Can you believe it? This little Canuck can still party like she used to. Who knew. The next morning, okay afternoon was not so fun, but I was a trooper and made it to the inlaws for a huge lunch!

                                                              Wow, do I look tanned?


Champagne anyone?


Cheers boys!

I truly hope that all of you had a wonderful New Years, and that 2011 brings you nothing but happiness, health and love.

Cheers!

New Years Resolutions....

Well, when I really think about the word resolution it is exciting, then I think why do we limit it to New Years?? Why don't I make it any time of year?? Sooo...that is what I'm going to try and do this year. My NY resolution - just do what I want to do, or say i'm going to do ALL year! (Yes, I realize this is not genius, and most ppl have thought about this already , hehe)

So here is my 2009 to do list (subject to change without notice):

-become fluent in Spanish
-start. stoop and continue ... exercising
-finish building the house in Cancun
-learn to cook more dishes
-go to the beach a few times a month
-adopt a dog
-spend less money on material things I don't need
-stop putting so much emphasis on material things I don't need
-have a savings account...with SAVINGS!! LOL
-spend more time with my hubby!!!!!
-travel, travel and more travel!!!!
-keep on blogging

Okay, at the moment this is what I've come up with, but gimme some credit as it was a late night with the neighbours/friends!!!! When I get some energy I'll have to post some pics!!!

Happy New Years to ALL!!!
