No. 7- Dress Accordingly

This past year, I have lived in one pair of Anlo jeans that
I purchased from the boutique I work in.
They started out as perfect blue denim skinnies with
the perfect amount of stretch and to top it off, it had a
sweet raised bow stitched on the back pocket.
I currently have the perfect pair of worn-well jeans with
two lovely organic shaped holes at each knee...blah!!!

As I have tried throughout the year to put myself on a jean ban,
i just simply can't help but return to these jeans.

I truly believe year 24 is a new phase.
Having joined the blogosphere about a year ago, I have been exposed
to pretty pretties that have made my heart melt, re-mold, and then melt again.
I have finally come to terms that pink is my favorite colour.
Flowers are amazing to receive. And a dab of parfum changes
my mood instantly. I guess I have come to
embrace the uber feminine side.
Which, to be frank, I have fallen in love with
...finally!

Confession...

No.6-Simply, Be Me

I have decided to:
Continue doing my happy leprecaun dance, even if i look like a goof
Not have a drink when i go out
Sing out of tune
Plan my dream wedding, even though Im not engaged
Eat Oreo's...dipped in peanut butter
Watch chick reality (The Hills, The City...) and not feel an ounce of guilt
Talk about shoes til my hearts content.
Eat pasta more than twice a week

And not think twice about it!!!

No.5-Realize That

No.4 -Miss Goody Two Shoes

In light of my new job,

A shoe post is necessary...

This event is life changing in

itself...

No.3-Organize

I really really REALLY try to imply all the

Martha-isms about organization but I have a pinch worth of space

to call my own.

With my business growing, I have accumulated an interesting amount of

ribbon, bit-n-bobs, fabric, paper and just stuff.

Under my bed seems to be the best

route just so I can have a morsel of oxygen.

So for this 24th year, again, I will do my best to

bring order to my space.

Whether I have space or not.

No.2-Morning Boost

"all happiness depends on a leisurely breakfast..." John Gunther

With inspiration taken from this quote:

I have decided to revert back to an old self.

A self that always took a moment

to eat in the morning.

Having a mini, for me, means that when she wakes up, i wake up,

Even though I am never fully awake.

I walk like a zombie around the house trying to

prepare a finicky eaters breakfast, which is usually sliced grapes or yogurt and OJ.

I pass on the hopes of whipping up a

stack of pancakes or a bowl of cereal and

slyly crawl back into bed.

But this has to change.

As I notice a change and drop in energy,

I have decided to

WAKE

STOP

and

EAT...

Weeks Menu:

Cereal: Smart Start and a cup of blueberry-pomegranete yogurt

Treat: Sweet potato pancakes a la Highland Bakery

or

Shrimp and grits also a la Highland Bakery

Drink: Simply Orange, Odwalla Pomegrante-limeade
