“L’amore è…”
I have always adored the “Love is…” comic. First created by New Zealand artist Kim Grove in the 1960s, the strip began as a series of love notes. How cute is that?
From now on, I will be posting my favorite “Love is…” strips. This one is so fitting for the week I have had.
Resolutions
I have a few resolutions. Not something I need to do every day, but just some things I would like to work on.
1. Save money to go to Australia in 2011. My cousin just got engaged and will be getting married there in the spring of 2011. My brother and I decided we are going. There is no way we are missing a family wedding…especially this one.
2. Be better about staying in touch with people. I have had a lot going in my life since I graduated from college, so it has been a little tough sometimes. I want to be better about that.
3. Re-connect with my pen pal in Colorado. We wrote letters back and forth for several years…we are from two completely different worlds, and it was always interesting to hear from her. A lot has changed in my life since I last wrote to her, so I think it is time to try again.
4. Get back into writing. If anyone hears of any blog/freelance opportunities, let me know!
5. Show my feelings a little bit more. I am an emotional person, but when it comes to some things and some people, it is hard for me to express my feelings.
6. Read more. This one is a given.
7. Get more sleep…or at least try to.
8. Learn how to cook something besides pasta and chicken. This one will be hard.
Auld Lang Syne
“What does this song mean? My whole life, I don’t know what this song means…I mean, ‘Should old acquaintance be forgot’? Does that mean that we should forget old acquaintances, or does it mean if we happen to forget them, we should remember them, which is not possible because we already forgot?”.
-When Harry Met Sally
A New Year
2009 is winding down. Will you be making any resolutions for the new year?
It sounds bad, but I never really make resolutions. I am still deciding if I will make any for 2010. There have been a lot of changes in 2009 – good and bad – so I might just wait and see what 2010 brings me and make the best of it.
I hope you all had a good 2009. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2010…

Will you be my Valentine?
One of the many new movies coming out that I want to see – Valentine’s Day.
It looks like it might be similar to Love, Actually (one of my favorite movies), so I am hoping it will be great. While I love movies with that “fairytale” kind of love, I appreciate the ones with messed up, awkward love even more. It makes them more real. It makes you feel like you are living in the movie itself.
Like I said to J a few days ago, I think this movie has the great potential of making me feel depressed about my love life. Although I probably won’t be seeing it with a date this Valentine’s Day, I will still go. My friends and I can splurge on Ben & Jerry’s after it. Can’t wait.
Lights will guide you home…
Because this week, my family had to try and fix each other. We will get there.
Love and miss you.
In honor of Rose.

And so this is Christmas…
Wishing you and your families a most wonderful and blessed Christmas!
Although we have had some rough times this year, my family also has much to celebrate, and for that, we are forever thankful!
Looking forward to a happy and healthy New Year!
