LIFE // 2012

» my friends and i on new year's eve. «

I'm sure that your friends on Facebook and Twitter have already overloaded your feeds with their New Years Resolutions, and what they did when the ball dropped, and how glad they are to have a fresh start, blah blah blah. So I won't add to the mix, because you know as well as I that nobody really cares except the person who posted it.

I didn't make any resolutions last year, and I'm not a big fan of those big grand "I WILL LOSE A THOUSAND POUNDS" or "I WILL BECOME A BETTER PERSON WHO HELPS OLD LADIES CROSS THE STREET" sort of resolutions because I'd never be able to keep them and I'd just get angry at myself...

So I'm staying small and making my only resolution to drink at least two liters of water every day (versus the zero I drank last year). Look, I even found an article to keep me on track. Thank you Google.


There we go, that's all I'm going to say. Here are some unpublished photos from last month that never made it to the blog.













the gingerbread house i made this year






and the bûche de noël my mother and i made

  5. Hahahaha. I don't see anything wrong with New Year's resolutions but I totally feel you. I never make any. I mean, why not just make them on any normal day? But anywayyyyy, I love the picture of your Buche de Noel! It's beautiful!! My French teacher made one for us one year and it was delish!
