So, let's start with the good stuff, shall we?
 |
| iPad. How did I live without you? |

Yay for glass food storage! This has nothing to do with the bad press about BPA plastic. People need to stop that ridiculousness. This has everything to do with the sunglasses principal. I lose and break cheap sunglasses, however if they are expensive, I don't. So, now that we have nicer, expensive food storage, it seems to make it home from work everyday. |

| Classic Margaritas. I make the best, and they are nothing fussy or fancy. 3 oz. Cuervo Gold tequila 2 oz. triple sec 1 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice margarita salt sliced lime for garnish Use your lime garnish to wet the rim of the glass. Salt the rim. Fill glass with ice. Shake tequila, triple sec, and lime juice with ice. Strain into glass and enjoy! This made my summer so much better. Salty, sweet, sour, and earthy. My new drink of choice for a kiki at 2421! |

Our April cruise on the Carnival Destiny. It forced me to relax and unplug from work, something I'm terrible at. I enjoyed every moment of time I shared with Timmy and surprisingly, enjoyed cruising. The boat was rode hard and put away wet (I'm so funny) and cruising on Carnival is like floating around the ocean on a giant, buoyant K-Mart, but a pleasurable experience anyway. |

Caldrea (www.caldrea.com) is life changing. Green cleaning products and body care items. My favorite is the laundry detergent and fabric softener. I don't shut up about this stuff. The Sea Salt Neroli (yellow bottle) is the best scent ever. And a little plug for Inspirations Bath & Kitchen Studio - the only place you can get this stuff in Harrisburg (www.InspirationsHarrisburg.com). |

I moved from my hometown 8 years ago, and I have finally established some great friendships in Harrisburg. You know who you are. Thank you for understanding and accepting my crazy. |
 |
I was finally able to shed a lot of my personal baggage and hang ups this year. Crap from my ex, that weird stuff I hung onto from my parents and middle school, fear of failure, etc. You all know what I'm talking about, so stop looking around the room like you don't! We all have crap that we drag around until it becomes too heavy to handle. |
And now for the things that 2012 can take with, as the world goes up in a fiery ball of flames.
 |
| Ah, hell. I hate these things. I know, these are ugly. And no, yours aren't cute. They make your legs look short, and all too often your baby toe ends up on the wrong side of a strap so it looks as if you're wearing them on the wrong feet. Nasty. Poor baby toe. This could stem from the fact that I, in general, hate feet. Oh, how I hate feet. |
 |
| Nuf said. |
 |
Bottled water. We no longer have it at home. Most new refrigerators have a water filter built in anyway. We abandoned this concept at home in 2012. As much as I hate on it, bottled water does indeed have a place in our lives. For instance, we have it in the studio for clients because it is sealed and easily held while working a project. But for the most part, it has become the scarlet letter of laziness. |
 |
Can oil rubbed bronze plumbing just die already? (This looks amazing on a cheap stainless steel sink, BTW.) I am so tired of it, and it makes every faucet look awful. I will continue to smile and sell it because I understand that it is popular, however that doesn't mean I have to like it. |
And lastly, there is no picture for this one. Abusive people. Whether you beat your spouse, yell at your mother, shoot a bunch of innocent children, raise dogs for fighting, or simply abuse my time as a professional, please hop on the express train to the end of the world. I am done with you. The world will be a better place without you.
Deep breath.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
