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!
As part of my revamping, I installed the CommentLuv plugin again, so let me know if anyone has trouble commenting! You can email me from the contact page!
Edit: Thanks to Zhu for letting me know that the plugin isn’t working. It’s been removed.
Mike always sends me random links and I open them no questions asked. I either find something really disturbing or really addicting. Yesterday, it was something addicting; Skywire. The object is to maneuver your three little friends to safety as they dangle through in an out of control cable car.
It’s addicting and cute and I can’t quit talking in the little voice from the game…ready!

Don’t forget the reason for the season! Go ahead and have another glass of egg nog, but try not to get any paper cuts opening presents.
Thanks to Mike, I can take three things off of my Wish List. We exchanged Christmas gifts this evening and I got Ugg slippers, Nut Nut, and a Natalie Dee t-shirt from my list.
I also got the giant cupcake pan I blogged about in November and gigantic sprinkles to decorate it with. Now I’m searching for special occasions to make my first cupcake cake.
That’s an A+++ for Mike this Christmas!
When Mike and I went shopping for engagement rings, I knew exactly what I wanted. I had my heart set on a simple band with a princess cut diamond, and that’s exactly what I got. If I had wanted something more intricate, we probably would have looked at custom engagement rings.
