Finally, 2009 is done!

The past couple of days I have felt an excitement slowly building inside of me.

2009 is thisclose to being over.

Some things have happened recently that really have me excited for the new year!

I shall list them below.

Things that I am excited about:

I ordered a sleeve for my laptop so I could carry her (name pending) to school.

My grades were posted and I got two "A"s which really bumped up my GPA because I replaced a horrible grade from younger days.

Our crappy, noisy, and rude neighbors are moving out! (As I type as a matter of fact!)

I mailed a letter to a certain negative male in my life asking that he not contact me anymore thus leaving me more energy to tackle 2010.

We (Dwayne and I) are starting a Biggest Loser plan! Cookbook purchased, trainer time reserved, yoga mat on the way. (Me, doing yoga...so exciting.)

School starts Jan. 14! (5 classes and a lab- am I crazy? YES! and I love it!)

I added more to my little glass family! (See below.)

Morris, the mouse.

Things I am not so excited about:

Jan. 8 I'm having my wisdom teeth removed. Sedation dentistry, all four out at once. (But truth be told I am kinda excited because I love going to the dentist for cleanings and check-ups and now he can't give me that disappointed father look when he sees they are still in there. Yay!)

So, today to fully celebrate and embrace the incoming year and set fire to the old- I do something I normally don't do.

I went crazy.

I felt/feel like Martha Stewart.

My first stop was Wal-Mart. Got stuff to make rotel courtesy of a recipe from a blonde. Then got stuff to make brown sugar bacon smokies- from the redhead's pal.

Flowers, cheesecake, etc.

Second stop was the liquor store.

Champagne. (Classy!)

The last stop was my fav store- The Dollar Tree!

Got party hats, necklaces, horns.

I flew home,tons of bags, but felt so homemakery/excited/awesome.

Cleaned up, put fresh flowers in a vase on the table.

All dishes done, all trash out.

Rotel made. Smokies made.

Set out party items for easy access.

Sliced strawberries for the Champagne.

I even downloaded Auld Lang Syne on itunes!

It seems so small but it has been a long time since I've felt like putting effort into something like this and it really excites me!

What does every girl want for new year's?

Flowers, Cheesecake, and Champagne!

Now, we are on a blue moon watch and it just feels perfect.
