Alright, here comes a major party foul...I don't drink!!

This was on a rough day. (self portrait)

Have you ever backed out on doing something you promised you'd do? Did you have a good reason for going back on your word?

Umm..yeah.  Like New Year's Eve we had planned to go to this big family thing, and we both (Torey and I) knew we'd have a lot of fun, but we were both so exhausted...and I think this is the first NYE that Torey and I have spent just the two of us in several years (we're normally at a family function), and that was really cool for both of us.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets is mega-fun!

Kakashi Sensei RULES!!!! Pointilism however...does not.  I mean, looking at it rules, but actually doing the process...drives me bonkers!

What are your rituals or traditions for starting off a new year?  

Well, I've never really had any rituals at New Years.  Nor resolutions.  I used to always say, "If you don't make any resolutions, you won't have anything to feel guilty about when you don't stick to them later in the year!" 

I've never been a huge New Year fan--I don't drink, don't have friends here in AZ (aside from my husband of course), AND, most importantly--I don't think we should wait for just the start of a new Roman Calendar Year to resolve to make changes in our lives. 

I've spent the past year and half or more really, really working on myself--making changes, doing my best to take better care of myself...and it's a tough, year-round job!! 

Anyways, last night to celebrate the New Year, Torey and I went to see the new 'National Treasure' movie.  It was completely awesome, better than the 1st I think, and I can't wait for the next one.  It was so lovely to spend NYE in a nearly empty theatre with my husband-bestfriend, just the two of us, enjoying a good fun adventure flick.  It was the best NYE I've had in quite a while.

Now we're off to get some eye medicine for Lola...she's got a very irritated and gunky eye that we've got to take care of, stat!

I'm so excited!  Early Christmas presents...Samedi Marche and Asian Butterfly!  I have been wanting Blythe dolls since I first saw them, quite awhile ago.  I'm going to use them for fun photo shoots.  I've already started!
