It’s that time again friends, it’s time for NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS!  Are you making some for next year?  Do you have a good track record of keeping to them?  For next year, I’ve made a few new resolutions and here they are:

1) Lose 10 pounds.

I pretty much say this every year, but really, I need to lose that and more next year!  Our company has a weight loss challenge and the top 30 teams who lose the most weight get an extra week of vacation, HOLLA!!

2) Find balance in life.

I want to be able to find a good balance between my full-time job, blogging, etsy shop updates, sleeping, keeping the house clean and spending quality time with family and friends.  Sometimes I tend to focus more energy on work and blogging… while neglecting other parts of my life.  Finding the right balance will create a happy medium for myself and others.

3) Call/Skype with people more instead of texting/tweeting.

The more advanced technology gets, the less I have real conversations and interactions with loved ones who live far away.  Sometimes I get lazy and get into back and forth texting conversations with friends for hours on end when it would just be faster to talk on the phone for 5 minutes, I see you nodding your head right now!!!

4) Be more budget savvy when it comes to shopping.

Without getting into too much detail, I shop, A LOT.  And I don’t always wait for good deals or buy things when they are sale.  Which means I sometimes buy things for full price and keep the tags on and don’t even wear it until it’s on sale… not smart!  I need to be more budget conscious and savvy, my husband is totally loving this one.

What are your New Years Resolutions? I’d love to read them!

And lastly, before I go… for the year… I would LOVE it if all you bloggy friends could come over and celebrate the New Year with me!  🙂  But unfortunately, I’m not too sure how many of you would want to fly to Missouri for it… so instead, if I were truly going to have a party for you all, here’s what the lineup would look like!!

Invite:

A beautiful champagne silhouette invite by the all mighty Martha Stewart (a 2011 version of course) would be sent to all guests weeks before the party.

What Your Host (that’s ME!) Will Be Wearing:

First, I would get all glammed up in this pretty lace dress seen on Natalie Merrillyn.

And throw on these beautiful Christian Louboutin strappy heels (if only I could afford these).

Menu:

These little French Onion Soup Stuffed Mushrooms made by The Pioneer Woman would start the night by getting your appetite going!!

Followed by a Cranberry-Orange Glazed Brie snack seen on Ingredients, Inc. Brie is seriously one of my favorite foods… EVER!

And of course no party would be complete without cupcakes, topped with a anna and blue paperie free printable seen on pizzzazzerie.

And a glass of champagne with a strawberry would be in my (and your) hand all night long…

Decor:

A table full of gold and champagne and “clock” decorations are a must!

Paper pom poms to adorn the room like these made by pomtree would really be the dulche de leche on top! 🙂

Favor:

And lastly, you’d all be going home with a 2011 Plantable Desk Calendar made by girl in gear studio!

Please RSVP in the Comment section and let me know what you’d wear to my “would-be” party (and don’t forget to tell me your New Years Resolutions too)!

See you in 2011!!
