New Year!

New Years 2013 resolutions:

1. Wear more lipstick. My eye has been CAUGHT by all of the red lip hues I've been seeing around. Two are on the way from my favorite cosmetic/skin care joint, Lush.

2. Read more substantive stuffs. After I nurse Royboy to sleep every night I browse facebooks, twitter and reddit all night until it's time for bed. I need to be reading better stuff. Sure, I enjoy all of the cats the internetz has to offer but I can either produce substance or consume substance. The aforementioned sites don't allow me to do much of either.

3. Save dinero. Operation get ready to move into bigger surroundings with the hopes of expanding the family. Again. Get yer popcorn ready :-D We got a great deal on a refi so the only people to blame are us if we can't do this. I've been really irresponsible with shopping recently to this one it two-fold. Consume less. Stop it with the internets buying. Amazon is TOO easy but contributes to having less money. Just because it's a deal, doesn't mean I need it. I save 100% of the money I don't spend. I need to do that more. More, I tell you.

Last night we threw a toddler house party after we got back from the 6pm Phila fireworks. Pizzas and desserts from Seasons and glow sticks and noise makers from the Dollar Tree. Maks made it to 930. Royal to 9. They had a BLAST. Overnight poor Roseph had the croup- thanks to internet spending we have essential oils on hand so I cooked up a homemade croup humidifier fix- tea tree, peppermint and eucalyptus makes for a fresh-smelling room. And today- Maksi has a case of the cabin fever. Even though we got out last night he was still strapped into his seat for the duration- my homie needs to run around uninterrupted.

I'm going back to work after a LONG vacation- I've been home since 12/20- it's been wonderful. What I'm not looking forward to is the smell of my car. My sunroof is leaking so it STANNNNNKS up in there. What I am looking forward to is working out- the work day allows me to build it in. Being home all day hasn't. I also wasn't really motivated so there's that.

I'm excited to see Todd taking interest in food- he's gearing up for the 20 in 24 in July so he's reading some ultramarathon books. They talk a TON about nutrition. This is exciting for me.

Roy has awoken from his nap. We need to get these birds out to run.

I like these resolutions pup! I need to save more as well. It's too easy/tempting to buy cute crap for Nora (and me) and I need to put that ish in the bank. She has enough clothes to last her a lifetime. Just stop.
