The Countdown

I wanted to check in today.

It's been crazy busy times. But the good news is, after all of you guys helped and voted. My friend Nikki and Isaac are less than 48 hours away from their wedding.

It's on Sunday afternoon so I will be heading up to New York this weekend. As I promised, I will post up pictures when I get back--plus I'm working on another one of my BIG goals, but shhhh...we'll keep that a secret until it's complete.

No Resolutions!?!

Happy New Year all.

This year I am resolving NOT to make resolutions. That's right! No resolutions. Resolutions are temporary--how many people do you know who've actually kept theirs? Instead I'm adding goals to my life list.

So here are the new additions:

• Read the Kama Sutra
• Start a photo journal
• Do the Rocky Horror Picture show (thanks Tyler for suggesting that one)
• Write another "Audrey" book for Drey
• Learn to a hip hop or rock song on a violin
• Bake a perfect batch of cookies
• Be as bold/self confident/assertive as Drey (see my previous blog)
• Take a picture with "The Awakening" (on the National Waterfront in DC)
• Take dance lessons (I'm thinking ballroom or salsa)
• Build a bear at a Build-a-Bear workshop
• Have someone send or send myself flowers at work
• gamble in Monte Carlo
• Slip a secret into a Post Secret book
• Learn a cool bar trick
• Keep up with this blog

I am probably going to add a few more things, but I think that's a good start for 2009. Lol.

So, let's toast to a great New Year and new accomplishments!

The Best Inspiration Ever!!!

I want to share with you the best inspiration I have ever had, courtesy of my 4 year old.

Yesterday among the presents my daughter got was this little Tinkerbell wand. Of all the things she got this is by far her favorite--she has been carrying it around ever since.

This morning my mom and I took her to the store with us while we shopped the day after Christmas sales. Of course you know the lines were long and the store was crowded!

What did my 4 year old INSIST on doing but walking up to EVERY single person in the ENTIRE store and say:

"Excuse me," (yes she has fantastic manners...lol) "can you hold out your hand."

As soon as they did, she would touch them with the magic wand and say "I'm giving you fairy dust so that all your dreams come true."

I never saw so many people smile.


Thanks Audrey! :)
