New Year, New Me

HAPPY 2009!  Did you make any new years resolutions?  Mine are pretty generic, some that I make every single year.  Let me share:

1.  Learn how to swim - this is a new one.  I am in the market for a kind, understanding teacher. 

2.  Take a vitamin everyday - self-explanatory.

3.  Be a better wife - I should add daughter, sister, friend.

4.  Walk + brush Rocky everyday - Rocky is so good at just going out in the yard and running back, sometimes I get lazy and don't walk him.  Weekends don't count because he runs around A LOT with Mr. Ho.

5.  Decorate the house - I want it to be a little cozier, a little homier.

My holidays were fantastic.  Most of it was spent watching Gossip Girl, seasons 1 and 2.  I tried not to get hooked on this show because I knew I would love it, but I caved.  And it's true.  I LOVE it.  

We spent New Years Eve at the new Gaylord National Harbor Hotel in DC.  I had fun but it did not live up to its hype.  There were just too many drunken fools and the party was too spread out.  Not to mention Mr. Ho had to use a wrench to stuff me into my dress.  Classy, right?  In the middle of the night, I went upstairs and changed into sweats and Uggs.  Some girl actually said, "She's pretty but way underdressed."  Wow.  Genius!

So my 27th birthday is just right around the corner.  I'm feeling quite indifferent about it.  I don't really want anything and I don't want to party.  A nice, quiet dinner with wine over-flowing is as far as I want to go.  I am aging.  My forehead has major lines.  So I'm trying not to move my forehead as much.  I think I should switch my skincare line to something that is more focused on anti-aging.  Don't forget about your neck, ladies!  You don't want that turkey neck when your 45.
