[B]ring in the New Year!

Cranky Christmas pants are off, I refuse to welcome 2010 like Eeyore. I can rock the grey but I can't pull off the tail and gloomy cloud. Besides, Filipino tradition is you wear something new on New Year's Eve and cranky pants are sad and old...*so 2000 and late*.

I was supposed to ring in 2010 in NJ/NY but it ain't happening. FUN would've been had but those plans will have to wait. I'm disappointed no doubt but I refuse to let it get me down.

So 2010 Hurry Up and Bring:
  • Enough work to keep S busy but not 18-hours-a-day-busy. I'll settle for 10...or 12 hours tops.
  • An 8 year wedding anniversary that is laptop/MacBook Pro/iPhone/B-berry free.
  • More blonde and red but just not grey.
  • A new car.
  • A bundle or two or eight  three of joy. Octo-Ela I am not.
  • Toned arms. I'll work for them, I promise. I am so tired of making sleeves look like sausage casing.
  • Hardwood in our upper hallway.
  • This dining table.

  • A plush banquette, like the one below but without the curved back, and 6 chairs that look nothing like the ones below.

  • Air Conditioning.
  • A proper moisturizer. Why are you so hard to find?
  • New recipes for our weeknight dinners. Excite my tastebuds please.
  • More veggies and fruits with my meals.
  • Better sleep. 7-8 continuous hours would be awesome.
  • Less knots in my back.
  • Lots of laughter.
  • A vacation. Or eight two. It's been wayyyyy too long.
  • Knees of someone in their 30s, not 50s. Arthritis you are evil.
  • The ladies I love {you know who you are} their hearts' desires.
  • A beautiful wedding for some beautiful brides.
 You've got 12 months so I'm sure you can make it happen. 
Oh and 2010, I may add things to my list...I mean, you're not even here yet.
Please and thank you!

This'll be my last post for 2009 so,
HAPPY NEW YEAR, LOVES!!!
Hope it's wonderful. Have Fun and Be Safe!!!
What are you hoping 2010 will bring?
xoxo Ela

  5. You are soooo sweet!!!!!! THanks for the wedding wishes!!!!!!!

    As far as moisturizer.... this may sound wierd, but cetaphil. It's sold over the counter at any drug store, target...even walmart! and I promise you it it wonderful! Fragrance free and light, it really lasts.
    I went to a dermatologist as a teen and he recommended it as being better than any designer moisturizer on the market, and everyone I have recommended it to hasn't disagreed!

    Toned arms, abs, butt, legs...i'll take it all! Good thing im back at the gym!

  18. Oct-Ela... hee hee... as always, you make me smile and laugh. If you got blessed with eight bundles, I swear I would move to Toronto and just be your nanny helper. I think we would have a ton of fun :) And maybe we could have a reality show... You'd be the star, I would be a sidekick and S would only show his feet or hands on camera. Perhaps we would call it Super Blogger Mom to the Eighth Power.

  26. I love your list! You totally kill me with your humor...you're terribly funny, ma dear! I definitely share in wanting a bunch of things on that list...I don't make lists, but maybe I should, then when/if it happens, it's totally fun to cross off...

    anyway, have a great night and a great new year!!

  32. WOW! You are asking a lot but I am sure they will come true. I have a moisturizer from Biotherm that I love. I called Aquasource. It is of the few products that I have been loyal to.

  34. Now I'm dreaming of a gorgeous banquette! This is the year of dreams coming true. I can feel it!

  35. I hope 2010 is being good to you so far! And I'm so with you on the moisturizer one, I'm still looking for the perfect one too! And I'd love for my arms to be more toned - I'll work on that one along with you! Happy new year :)

  36. Looove your list! I esp. agree with you on the good moisturizer and more fruits and veggies. One of the things on my list is to get stronger- I feel like I'm not very strong when it comes to lifting things- I know I'm petite anyway but some good upper arm strength would be good :) Happy 2010!! xo, Mel
