So, any big plans for New Years Eve?  The mister and I are throwing a little shindig at our house, so we have spent the last few evenings in a purging, cleaning, stuffing-things-into-the-attic frenzy.  We are only expecting around 10-15 guests, which will still be a test to see how many people we can fit into out cozy little home.  While we are waiting for guests to arrive the sausage dip is cooking, the bar is stocked and the wii remotes are fully charged and in their upright and locked position.  Party time!

In totally unrelated news, if your new year resolutions (or goals, or life plans or whathaveyou) include simplifying your life, then I have a great resource to get you started.  Knowing what I do about the year ahead for Patrick and I, it would be silly for us to proclaim 2010 “the year of the simple,” but freeing up time, living in the present and cleaning your counters are even more important when your world is spinning at a million miles a minute. 

What I’m trying to say is, you should read Zen Habits.  Here, let me help.

Breathe.

Do interesting things.

Your life, simplified.

Peace out, 2009.
