New Year :)

I don't know about you but I'm looking forward to 2011!   2011 will be my last year in my 20s!  It's also going to be 5 years of marriage in March :)  We have our trip to Disney in October and T's 4th birthday!  I have some photo shoots planned and hopefully my business will continue to grow.

I'm not making any resolutions-- just live my life as best I can :)

What do YOU have planned for 2011?

Blondes don't have more fun

I dyed my hair dark brown... I decided I'm not high maintenance and didn't want to keep spending money highlighting my hair.  I have to fix the color a bit tomorrow because apparently I have a lot of hair and one box was not enough to cover all of it... thus I have a streak or two left ;)

Oh and if you look at the side of the blog you'll see a little counter thing... it's where I log my miles on the treadmill :)  I've been doing it every day--1 mile a day so far.  Woo!

Remind me again...

in the spring when I'm going crazy with my TWO grad classes... that I was the one that signed up for them.    

K.  Thanks.

Christmas Menu

I know you're going to be jealous of my menu ;)

arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas)
lechón asado (roast pork... though not authentic because I got it boneless and skinless)
pasteles (green banana meat stuffed pastries?? Not sure how else to describe it)
tostones (twice fried green plantains)

Only thing missing is my morcilla (blood sausage) but can't find that anywhere around here.

YUM!

Count Your Blessings Tuesday

Today I am grateful for:

• energy.  I have NO idea how it is that I stay up until midnight and get up at 6am and still function.  
• having almost everything crossed off my to-do list.  
• creativity.  I love being able to create things that don't look like a two year old made it :)
• getting into the spirit of the season which is GIVING.  I get so much more out of giving to others than getting things. 
• the anticipation of Christmas.  I can't wait to see T's face on Christmas morning when he sees the tree in all its glory :)
• T not knocking my teeth out when he busted my lip.  It still hurts like hell : /
