Catching up on some blog reading and thinking of things that seem really important to me right now for the new year. Must write them down immediately so I can laugh at myself next year...
*For crying out loud...wear more lipstick please. Every day you look at that plain face and intend to put lipstick on. Work on follow through... (you have two lovely shades of red rolling around at the bottom of your purse you know)
*Quit pinning and start doing. You even pinned a poster that said just that. DO it.
*If you ever make it on House Hunters....do not ad lib. Later you will want to smack yourself in the face, stick to the script
*Find shoes that you can wear with socks for work. You figured out that you lose more heat from your feet than your head, now stop buying flats you idiot!
*Get more pedicures/manicures...and for goodness sake, brush your hair more than once a day.
*Figure out where those lines around your eyes keep coming from...stop smiling because they're showing up around your mouth too...
*Buy a proper laundry basket...piles hide spiders
*Don't feel sorry for that daddy long legs in the corner. You give them a pass once and they procreate all over your house.
*You must garden in the rain, or you will never find time to garden. And plant some veggies this year lazy.
*Roadtrip and go camping.
*Buy some bright colored pumps and skinny jeans and wear them. Don't give me that look, black is wonderful but you've reached your limit.
*New running shoes too...you needed them 10 years ago.
*Return your Netflix and use your Groupons. They are winning and you are not.
*Shop local
*Paint that back step, it is hideous and you can't ignore it any longer. Same with your bedroom...don't listen to Bryan, you're not moving any time soon.
Any fun plans for Saturday night? This could be the last one if the Mayans are right ;) Have a wonderful, safe and fun long weekend. Happy New Year! XOXO
Those aren't resolutions, be back next week to share...

I love your list. I may have to steal a couple. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great items! Shoot for the stars this year. I too need to start doing, and a lot of it. Laziness overtakes me. I hope you have a wonderful new year!
ReplyDeleteAnd number one...call my mom more often :)
ReplyDeleteIf I ever buy a house here, I'm seriously considering being on House Hunters International... although my dad says the only good episodes are where they have tons of money to spend. (I disagree)
ReplyDeleteAnd I need to buy some fabulous heels in 2012. After I lose the weight, I'm going on a shopping spree :) Gold platform pumps, here I come!
Saturday I'll be at a wedding in the village of Chabihau!
Haha, I love it! But you most definitely do not have a plain face. Color is wonderful, embrace it. I have the most colorful wardrobe and it makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteOh those Mayans. I feel like this is the prank of the millennium ;)
I love your list of non resolutions! Hahahaha, the lipstick thing is totally me...oops!
ReplyDeleteHappy News Years, rock your face off!
Great list, lady -- thanks for the much-needed chuckle today. Your brand of motivation cracks me up. Now you're making me pine for some lipstick. What brand/colors do you wear?
ReplyDeleteI second the laundry basket. Thats always where the biggest spiders come from!
ReplyDeleteTHERE ARE SPIDERS IN YOUR LAUNDRY???? THAT'S HORRIFYING. *ahem* anywho, good list but you should be nicer to you. try, "you'd look simply stunning in bright pumps and skinny jeans, nikki!"
ReplyDeleteI really could stand to get my moneys worth out of netflix too. That line made me *laugh*. I hate it when 'they' win.
ReplyDeleteCheers to a Happy New Year! Looking forward to following your new adventures.
Happy New Year Nikki! Your list is great...I can relate to multiple things on it...mainly this one:
ReplyDelete*Find shoes that you can wear with socks for work. You figured out that you lose more heat from your feet than your head, now stop buying flats you idiot!
My feet are always freezing at work in those darn flats!
