Better Late Than Never!
I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a fabulous NYE. Husband and I spent the weekend in Lake Placid, NY. I had a nasty cold but still managed to enjoy myself.
I've decided to do the unthinkable for a New Years resolution.... give up chocolate for a year! Husband is giving up soda. We thought it would be fun to learn a lesson in self control and test ourselves with our favorite things that really aren't that good for us anyways. So good riddance chocolate. I cringe just saying that. The positive I didn't give up all sweets so I won't be completely lacking sugar highs!
This will also be the year I spend a lot less on clothing and start shopping my closet more. I'm starting to realize I have more than enough clothing and need to spend more time appreciating what I do have instead of focusing on buying new stuff all the time. That being said the saved money will go towards school loan debt and saving for a new house, one can only deal with a 1 bedroom condo for so long (thankfully it has a TON of closet space).
And there is one other thing I hope the new year brings me, but I'm not saying just yet. And no, it's not a baby for all those hoping. If I have it my way (and I think I will) this won't be the year for children. We'll save that for 2013 perhaps.

I was thinking about you today. Happy New Year and my sentiments exactly. I'll still buy things here and there, but my main goal is to hold onto some of my hard earned dollars.
