My 2012 New Year's Eve and 2013 Wish For You

We didn't do anything for New Year's Eve night and its all good.  We were invited to Knott's New Year's Eve but I let the teens go.  I knew they would be safe and I knew they would have fun.  I loved going to Knott's Berry Farm as a teenager and now I'm passing the torch down to my kids.  They had a blast!  We were also invited to OC Fair's New Year's Eve Block Party but that didn't work out - flaky sitter and an 8 month old teether on a cold night.  Years ago, I would've flipped out because our plans fell through but now, I chalk it up to "what's meant to be will be".  Its easier to live life that way.  

We didn't buy lucky food for the New Year.  I made cheeseburgers!  We didn't make resolutions.  We didn't tell each other "2013 will be our year".  Chris and I believe that if you want to change, you have the power to do it any day and at any time.  Same goes for eating healthy, going on a diet, falling in love - things don't change magically at the stroke of midnight.  I did have intentions of starting a new vision board before the year ended but I lagged.  My current vision board still holds true to what my goals are for 2013.

Chris and the littles fell asleep early.  I contemplated getting some cleaning in but decided to lounge around and hang out on Twitter.  I wasn't alone, a lot of us were tweeting the night away - wished the East Coast a HNY and then celebrated a West Coast New Year.  I fell asleep on the couch watching an episode of Kitchen Nightmares.  Got to sleep in, did a lil' cleaning with Chris, made a super fat breakfast and watched Diary of a Mad Black Woman (for the first time) on BET.  It was very nice to just lounge around, not worry about having to go anywhere, meet a deadline... I played with the littles, cuddled and snuggled with them all day.          

We can't base a whole year on the way the year ends and the new one begins.  Stop doing that.  I do have a wish for you, use it anytime, keep it as a lingering reminder.  XOXO
