and so it was

2009 ended with a backache.  ended without a bang, really.  ended quietly as we sipped champagne and leaned on one another.  cuddled on the couch.  this was the first year i almost fell asleep before midnight.  (how is this possible?!)  but i stayed awake.  if for nothing else than the love of that man i married who begged, please stay awake.

2010 has begun with peace and love in our home.  with most of our rooms clean.  with the dishes done.  it begun with sweet dreams that ushered us into morning.  and parades and football.  and new golf clubs for b.  (not too shabby, ay?)  since b got new clubs i treated myself to a little t.ruffle.  have you heard of the t.ruffle girls?  they are my fav.  and i can't think of a better way to begin this year than to buy my favorite of their prints.  fit for framing and placing in my greenhouse window above the kitchen sink.  click on all links to go to all kinds of fun places.  i make a point to visit the sweeterie everyday.  i highly recommend.  from the deepest part of my heart.

so far 2010 makes me feel a bit restless.  i haven't promised myself a healthier diet.  i haven't resolved to change any huge parts of my life.  i'm hoping this is a year of getting rid of excess.  of having only those things i truly need.  i don't need 20 tank tops...do i?  i want to clean and clear out.  reorganize.  so that everywhere i look things are peaceful.  unjumbled.

perhaps my favorite thing about 2010 is my new motto.  it is specific to me so i don't propose you take it on but you're more than welcome to.  i'll take all the cheerleading i can get  :)

em & ben in two thousand ten 

fun, huh??  since there isn't a year that rhymes with either em or emily, this is the best it's gonna get.  well, for us, anyway  :)

happy new year to all of my beautiful friends, those i've known for lifetimes and those i've made this past year.  i look forward to reading your beautiful words and sharing some of my own.

love love love

I'm down with Em & Ben in 2010. I might have a T-shirt made up and when people ask me about it, I'll say to them "you wouldn't understand"...like it's a secret, that nobody in the world understands except me. Which is ironic to advertise something nobody will get....but then what's exclusive about everybody getting it? ;)

maybe not a t-shirt...maybe a tank top...so say, when you throw out some of yours...just go ahead and send me one! *laughs*
