I love the different skies you get to see out of the window. So close you could touch it.
It's nice to be home.

magazine inspiration
There's no hiding my love for photographic prints on clothing, and this galaxy print on is my favorite right now (on Kristen Dunst - who I also happen to love - in BlackBook):
It's by Christopher Kane, who is pretty much the king of photo prints, remember the gorilla collection?
And when I saw this spread:
of Gwyneth Paltrow in InStyle magazine, I decided that she has the perfect bangle look:
Just a perfect mix, and reminded me of my studded bangle from Crangi Family Project.
Pretty perfect fixed/messy hair too. And can I just say that this woman is 38, and is totally pulling off not dressing her age. She may be a new style icon...
yay for resolution progress
On the book a month front at least, thanks to one left in our hotel room. It was a strange, Orwellian type of fiction, but very quick to read. Also got a start on The Fountainhead, although only through part of the introduction. I think I love Ayn Rand.

It's finally snowing- huge, fluffy, perfect drops! Snow is one of my favorite things and I can't wait to get out in it!
resolutions
- Read. I love to curl up with a good book, and want to remember to choose that instead of the internet sometimes. I plan to keep with last year's goal of at least one book a month, but this year I'm forgetting about reading the unread ones, just giving them away since I obviously don't want to read them. For this year's classics, I've got Les Miserables and The Fountainhead to start on. And maybe a few off this list.
- Eat healthier. Which means fruits (1.5 cups) and vegetables (2.5 cups) every day. I enjoy eating veggies, so this should be easy. The way my body feels is totally linked with how I eat, and this year I want to feel as good as possible all the time. Also, I want to drink more water, eat more fish, and eat meat no more than once a day...
- Cook more. I love finding and trying new recipes.
- Like the way I look. Meaning, get dressed in clothes I like every day instead of wearing too big sweatpants and hubby's t-shirts around the house. This means investing in some nice lounge wear? Also, want to start wearing the things I love that just sit in my closet waiting for the right occasion, like jewelry and purses.) The other part of this will be going to the salon often enough that I don't ever have gray roots, I hate seeing them in the mirror. And a little makeup never hurt anyone. Neither would some exercise:
- Exercise! 30 minutes, more days than not. I like walk/jogging, and this translates to at least 3 miles, at least 4 days a week.
- Play guitar better. I've taken lessons once a week for a year now, and still suck. I think I've learned so much over this year, but to get better I need to actually practice. Often. My guitar instructor just suddenly quit, and I've just started with a new one. I think this is a good opportunity to try a different style and maybe be able to reset my habits.
- Keep keeping the house clean. This year, I vow to sweep and mop more. It's so nice for people to drop by and not feel embarrassed that your house is messy. Keep keeping the clutter out, which means not buying things we don't need and won't use and keep on tossing things to Goodwill (thank goodness hubby and I are both so good at letting go). And on the flip side:
- Not hesitate to buy the little things that would improve daily life (ie. a pizza cutter) and fix all the broken/leaking things around the house.
- Keep a diary/blog consistently and take more pictures all the time, especially on trips. (I mean, hey, we won't be young and good-looking forever...)
- And lastly, the goal I've made every year since high school: Wake up at early. This year this means at 9:30 am every single weekday. Which means I need to start going to bed at a decent time every night.
