It's 4:16 on 12/31/10.
I just cancelled my NYE plans.
I’m on my way to pick up a frozen pizza, a bottle of Andre, and some Diet Coke for my whiskey.
Might even hit up one of those red box thingys and get a movie.
I will return to my apartment, paint my nails all sparkly, curl my hair…
…and then put on my pajamas and lay on my couch.
Eff you, 2010.
Bring it on, 2011. I’m ready for you.

Vowing to live 2011 with this outlook on life.
Fun. There should be a lot of fun.

My people.
If I learned one thing from this vacation, it’s this: These are my people. From the east coast, to the west coast, to the midbest. These will always be my people.
I’m proud, thankful, and incredibly lucky.

Belize ((in words))
UNBELIZEABLE.
Gorgeous beaches & isolation & family & great weather & Hotsauce admitting he had to look up Belize on a map before traveling (and all of us admitting the same) & beautiful houses & hammocks & open-toed shoes & bug bites (like you wouldn’t believe) & lizards & feet up at least once a day & family talks about our futures & laughs...

I just walked around my office to confirm that I am in fact, the only person in the office today.
Out of 25ish people.
Let the nail-painting begin!
And as an FYI, tomorrow I will be in sweatpants. You better Belize it!
:)
Today at work, I will...
-Paint my nails
-Take 2 waterproof cameras to get developed
-Upload pictures from Belize (you guys…it was awesome.)
-Exchange Christmas gift from DNW (just for a new size!)
-Treat myself to an hour+ lunch break
-Catch up on 6 days worth of Tumblr
-Debate NYE plans
-Finish reading One Day. Cannot. put. it down. A bit sad that I only have two more chapters to go :(
-Take a nap?

Almost there!
First was a one hour flight.
Then came a two hour flight.
Up next is a 3 hour flight!!
Family: I’m going to need multiple cocktails upon arrival. You’ve been warned.

I like this.
CABS ARE HEREEEE!
Well. Not yet. But my cab’s been ordered.
Tomorrow.
4am.
Lucky me.
No really.
LUCKY ME.
All packed!
I think it’s important to note that this is the fastest I have ever packed for a trip.
In my entire life.
((I guess you could say I’m excited.))
And with THAT.
Time for wine.
Or whiskey.
Or both.

Reason #5461324678 why I love my mother:
Because she emails me this picture and says “do you like any of these?”
My response: “Umm. All of them?”
But seriously. Looks like I’ll be adding two new leopard scarves to my collection!! ((The gray/black and either the red or the white, if you’re curious.))
BWOWW=best
Christmas present from BossLady
Two OPI Designer Series polishes along with a nail-care kit.
((OPI DS Reflection and OPI DS Extravagance))
Total win.

“People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy...
Images of cocktails under the microscope
I prefer to drink my cocktails.
But if I have to just look at them, this is a pretty cool way to do so!

Dry Martini:
Pina Colada:

Then again. There's always a cheaper version.
I’d gladly take this $935 Tibi dress instead.
Although I REALLY like the $1,495 one.

If I had $1,495 just lying around...
THIS Adam dress would be mine.
I die.
It’s actually folded pieces of gold and dark purple sequins!
Love, love, love.

Pack it up, pack it in.
BWOWW is in the process of taking down all of the Christmas decorations at the house, unwrapping presents, packing them in boxes, and shipping them to our respective cities.
No complaints here.
But I was definitely happy that before doing so, she was kind enough to send us pictures of where ((if my parents weren’t so crazy)) we would have been spending the holiday.
So I give you…
