My New Year’s Resolution is to stop biting my fingers nails, and to achieve my goal, I am going to treat myself to frequent manicures.

The best motivation is a reward, isn’t it?

You can take a look at resolutions that are a little loftier than mine over at Table for Five and join the New Years Resolution Blogroll to track everyone’s progress.

Thanks to the above picture, Mike now thinks that we should take Oliver to the Bahamas so he too can learn how to scuba dive.

How does one even come to the conclusion that their wiener dog can scuba drive in the first place? Do you just suit him up and hope for the best? Is there any training involved?

Next weekend, Mike and I will be moving into our new apartment. It only took us seven months of married bliss to decide that we should probably live together!

Anyway, we have a wish list of things that we would like for the apartment, and high on that list is one of those fancy adjustable beds. The kind that lets you select how firm you want your side of the bed and moves the back up and down so that you can read or blog. Mike would be ecstatic if the bed could also extend at the press of a button because his legs are always hanging off the end.

Unfortunately, I think the more obtainable items on our wish list, like a new trash can and towels, are about all that we are going to be able to afford for the time being.

Back in the day, I was a huge Real World fan. I watched every season, knew every cast member, and was glued to the TV during the Real World/Road Rules Challenges, where Rachel Campos from Real World San Francisco and Sean Duffy from Real World Boston met.

Rachel and Sean married not long after the challenge and are now expecting their fifth child together. Rachel has attempted to earn a spot on The View numerous times and Sean is the Ashland County district attorney.

Maybe they will ditch the double name moniker for their newest edition. I don’t know what name could compete with Evita Pilar, Xavier Jack, Lucia-Belen, and John-Paul. Yikes.

As I was searching Overstock for the perfect bed-in-a-bag, I came across the Snug Sack, which you can use as a blanket, a throw, and thanks to multiple buttons and zippers, use as a wrap.

While I’m intrigued by the concept, I think that is about the ugliest thing one could possibly come up with lounge around in. It’s like a puffed up muu-muu.

The amazing part is, it has 101 positive customer reviews on Overstock, so maybe I’m really missing out!
