Two kids. Two Labs. Suburbia. A better (very Southern and preppy) half. A prep with a bohemian streak in the heart of southeastern Connecticut with a love of the Cape, wine, Audrey Hepburn, needlepoint belts, Lllly, design & much more. My ideas, observations, musings & adventures.

Happy New Year!
Another year come and gone - wow. Time flies. 2010 was fairly uneventful - some bumps here and there but I survived. My baby started kindergarten which was VERY exciting and I moved which was not as exciting. Same town, just closer to the beach. The one bummer - the house is smaller so we're still finding appropriate spots for all our stuff (and I mean stuff).
I have a fairly ambitious plan for 2011 but who knows. I have my eye on a couple cool jobs, I'm looking forward to re-engaging in my Jr. League chapter after a very long sabbatical, I want to do a little re-decorating, update the wardrobe, pick up yoga diligently again and I am determined (and I know I should have already done this) to visit the dermatologist for a skin check. I also really want to try something called Freshology (www.freshology.com). It's a food delivery service with meals comprised of completely fresh, all natural and gourmet meals.
Anyway, I've never been a huge NYE fan so we reached the following level of excitement last night: chores, afternoon at the beach with kids & dogs, watched Diary of a Wimpy Kid with the kids, watched Getting Him to the Greek with the better half and a glass of wine, then read The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein before bed which is soooo good but a tearjerker.
Today has been devoted to laundry, laundry and more laundry, moving furniture around, waiting for the cable dude to fix our blown-out modem and football. Now I'm not really a collegiate football fan unless Notre Dame or BC are involved. The better half on the other hand brings fan to a whole new level, especially if it involves any team in the SEC. Ho-hum.
Anyway, wishing you love, laughter and happiness in the New Year!
