The First Decade I Remember.....

Happy Tuesday!

Its the first Tuesday of the 2011, and its still super cold in Lexington. I know that I am a few days late, but Happy New Year!

I can't believe that its already 2011...

When I had lunch with Emmy on Friday (I totally forgot to ask the nail lady to take a picture, but her English wasn't all that great and all I could picture was my camera going into the pedicure bowl while we sat there smiling watching it...) we were both like, "OMG, its a new decade and we actually remember it." Granted I grew up in the 1990s but I was only 2 when everyone rang in 1990 so the details are a bit fuzzy (I'm sure I had a milk buzz...). Emmy and I had a nice time and it was great to catch up. The FIN and I also had a nice dinner at Portofinos and we enjoyed dessert on the patio at Harrys. I tried to make the photo session as quick and painless as possible but we had to do a few different shots do to lighting issues...

Portofinos...

Cheesecake at Harrys...

Cookie Desert at Harrys.... So Wonderful!

Yes, I was that person that was taking pictures of the food on the table, but I refrained from picking up my plate and trying to position it under the light. There were people watching so I thought it wasn't the right time/place for a food photo shoot. We had a wonderful night and it was nice to ring in 2011 in Lexington at some of our favorite places. Our NYE dinner date spots even made it on to our SaveDate cards.

MKH + CWG = June 25, 2011 

I figured that since we are getting married this year I should act somewhat adult and make a few resolutions for 2011. I have listed them in no specific order below!

1.  Try to eat a variety of foods, as in try not to be as picky. (I actually had a salad on NYE, which to me    is the equivalent of rabbit food and I managed to get a few bites down. I also had a steak on Sunday night, which is a big step in the right direction as far as I am concerned. The FIN eats his steak rare and my steak was still "mooing" on the plate so I ate almost 1/2 of it but I think in the future I want to make sure that my food is cooked/charred to perfection. For being Day 4 of 2011 I think I am making a valiant effort).

2.   Blog more regularly... 

3.   Try to manage my stress levels without bingeing on sweet tea or Flintstones Gummy Vitamins. (I haven't had any gummy vitamins in days and I am trying to ween myself off of sweet tea all together because of my teeth whitening regimen that I start next week! Baby Steps....) 

Here's to 2011, and I hope that everyone had a wonderful evening!
Until the next post!
LOVE, MKH
