A Brooklyn NYE…

January 10, 2010

Speaking of New Years resolutions reminds me that I haven’t posted about NYE 2010 yet!! We stuck around Brooklyn to spend New Years with Bails, Kevin and Beck and I’m sure glad we did. 4th Ave Pub was the perfect place to ring in the new year. No line, no cover, seats at the bar, party hats and noise makers, and best of all– a free glass of champagne at the stroke of midnight! It was a great night with many things to be thankful for in the past year. But on this particular night I was just so thankful to be out of the rain, thankful to NOT be in Times Square, and thankful to be spending New Years with people that I love!

The night began with Kevin in the kitchen.

Making a delicious dinner…

of pork, potatoes, and brussel sprouts.

We toast to 2009…

As we ring in 2010!

Ciao, shopping!

January 9, 2010

Well folks, I have decided on a New Years Resolution. It’s a big one. Probably too big. But whatever– go big or go home, right?!?

And the resolution is… (drumroll, please):

I, aeb, vow to be less frivilous in spending. Specifically: buying clothes.

Now, I am not going to say I am not going to buy any clothes this year. That would NEVER work. I did think of that idea for about a second before I decided it was completely ridiculous. So I’ve decided to give myself some guidelines to follow so that I can actually succeed in my attempt to be less of a “shopaholic”, if you will.

Ground rules:

1) You may only go shopping ONCE a month.

2) If you do choose to go shopping in a given month, you MUST buy any and all items on SALE.

3) Wedding atire (i.e. bridesmaids dresses/shoes) are an exception.

4) Thrift store finds are allowed.

That’s it. Simple. Right? Hmmm… we shall see.

In short, I’ve got WAY too many clothes. My clothes are all beautiful and I have enough j.crew to last me a lifetime. I want to see if I can stick to this resolution for the sake of self control as well as the sake of my bank account. I hope that by writing this down it becomes more real than if I just said it in my head. Because I’ve gone and announced it to the world I MUST NOT fail. Wish me luck!!!
