I don't do resolutions...
It is a new year and Ryan and I rang it in verrrrrrry quietly. We were hit with more snow and decided to stay in. I had read that the manner in which you ring in the new year is symbolic of how the year will go and by that logic we will be having an uneventful 2009... fine by me!
I don't really DO resolutions... I prefer to think that any day is a good day to decide to change something and the hype of January first is more of a social peer pressure than anything else. That being said, I go have some goals for the year. One should always have goals!
One of those goals is to spend more time scrapping and less time putzing around with my scrap supplies. :-) So here we are with evidence of my dedication to that goal:

Cheesecake and More Snow
Phew! The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of preparing for the holidays, traveling, and keeping up with everyday life. Christmas with Ryan was a great one... my dearest husband got me a Nikon D60 and a Making Memories Slice and I couldn't be happier! I have already shot hundreds of photos (mostly just playing around) and this camera is SO much better than anything I've had before.
We traveled to Maine for Christmas and hung out with my dad's family and then on to mom's house for a few days. I brought a Bailey's Chocolate Chip Cheesecake to my dad's... yum! It was a good recipe but the filling wasn't *quite* as firm as I usually like it and the Bailey's was a tad strong so I am going to reduce the Bailey's next time and kill two birds with one stone. Still, it was a great cheesecake:
And now it is New Year's Eve and I really think Mother Nature ONLY makes snow when we have plans. Another 6-8 inches today... so I guess we won't be driving the hour and a half to Amherst to meet with friends. New Year's Eve will be just another night in our house.
