Here are more pictures from New Year's...these are from after midnight.
S- & P- brought over their XBox Kinect, and we played Dance Central. It was a lot of fun!
We were getting ready to pour the champagne, when we discovered this funny label...
..but of course, R- decides to do things HIS way. "You'll put your eye out, kid!"
After kisses, hugs, and dancing to Auld Lang Syne, we gathered for a group picture.
N- and I share some New Year's love.
After returning home the next morning, Kris entered the house first with my hand in his pocket....it's a New Year's tradition in my family!
Sophie was glad to see us :)
For dinner, I cooked chicken, black eyed peas (for prosperity...) and greens (for luck with money...). Let's hope it works!

Well, it's here again...we're on the cusp of a New Year, with the promise of renewal and a clean start. I've never been one to make a list of resolutions, and I won't start doing that this year. However, I have come up with a "motto" to live by for the next year:
Learn to be satisfied - but don't mistake satisfaction with complacence. Always strive for more. Always strive to be better...and don't blame anyone else but yourself for the way your life is going. Remember to live...somewhat impulsively, to keep things interesting, but not irresponsibly. Do what you need to do for you, but keep in mind that there are other people involved in your life.
It seems I've let "real life" get in the way of living my life, and I've been miserable. This year will be about balance for me...finding the balance between the grown-up "responsible" me, and the impulsive fun-loving me that made the best of any situation.
What that is going to look like and feel like, I haven't the slightest clue, but hopefully I get it right this time.
And if I don't...well, there's always 2012.
Have a safe New Year's Eve, and I wish you prosperity, peace and success in the year to come.
XOXO, Girl in the World
