Welcome 2010

I kinda already love you...

and I am excited and so ready to start a New Year! I don’t feel there has much to hold onto from this past year other than finding my blog to be a place of release and inspiration and that all the travelling I have been fortunate enough to do this year has been a blessing to keep me sane. Ringing in the New Year was a blast and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. Pics to come soon – the one below is from my friend's camera phone – but first, this week I still have to unpack from the traveling and I need to detox. Also, I started reading I’m Having More Fun Than You about a guy choosing to be single in his 30’s – it was a gift for my 30th Birthday – and is completely filled with humor. So in an attempt to take some inspiration from him here are some recaps of NYE past from the decade gone by…

2003 ~ First NYE out of college in – lived in Miami – I worked NYE night at the Ritz-Carlton, Coconut Grove as a supervisor in the restaurant – spilled a glass of Champagne all down a women’s back – lucky for me she was too happy-drunk to care so I offered to dry clean her dress and brought her more Champagne

2004 ~ With my Beau of that time in our first apt together in South Beach - enjoyed drinks in our apt and watched the ball drop on TV – had drinks on the balcony – chill night in

2005 ~ Spent the evening with the same Beau and his family in SoBe at our apt drinking Chambord and Champagne – chill night in – I just remember thinking I cannot wait to get out…

2007 ~ First NYE in NYC – house party with one person I knew and lots of people I didn’t, thinking… where am I right now? – Four Faced in West Village – Subway back to BK – Great Night

2008 ~ Random bar/lounge in Chelsea (drawing a blank on the name right now) – dinner at Mexican restaurant before – dance off with a girl – guy chose me to dance with – won’t do that again

2009 ~ Hawaiian Tropic Zone, NYC – 3 friends – walking around the club with our own bottle of Kettle One – running outside in our little dresses (coat check line was too long) to get pizza in 15 degree weather

2010 ~ Tavern on the Green, NYC – friends flew in from Miami – open bar – full buffet and shoes off, dancing on the carpet even before midnight

I am hoping for this next year to be filled with great memories. I need a good year. We all need a good year. Thinking for life in general this year, I totally want the juice to be worth the squeeze…

How was your NYE? What are you wishing for in 2010?
