Sorry Charlie!

My goals and resolutions are pretty petty this year. Sorry dolphins. I'll save you in 2012.
1. Try contacts. I need to grow up and just try them.
2. Get a new hair style.
3. Lose 20 more lbs-Then maybe my BMI will be in the normal range!
4. Buy clothes that are cute and fit correctly--I tend to buy ill fitting or weird, loud pieces to draw attention away from the person who is actually wearing the clothing.
5. Shoes. Shoes that fit. I wear a size 7. Not an 8. If there is only a size 8 available, I will not buy that pair.   My arches don't like me anymore.
6.Take pictures. I  don't really have any pictures to show for the last 10 years..and I want cool professional ones done of A and me.
That is it so far....More to come.

The chili dip from the Fun and Fondue party!

Here it is...
1 can Nalley's hot chili w/ beans
1 can Nalley's reg. chili w/ beans
1 package cream cheese (softened)
1/2 small jar of Pace Picante-mild

Mix it all together and microwave it up. Thank Brad for this gem.

I leiu of an end of year update..

Here is a script of me thinking to myself about what to put in my end of year newsletter..

So, Julie, 2010 wasn't a great one for the books was it?
Uhh..seriously? This is my inner monologue? Yah, I guess it could have been better..We had some good times though, right?
Er, sure. You did score that sweet apartment last week. Kudos to you, hope you can pay the rent in 2011.
Thanks. You're so supportive. SO, what was it we were talking about? Oh, 2010. I think next year we shoul-
You know, Jules, you really have no business what so ever trying to plan next year. You really fudged this one up. Did you even send out Christmas Ecards? I didn't think so. Those take, like, two seconds to do. 
Well, I was looking at som-
Look, I think we should maybe just take a break for a while and..well..I just don't think this is working out.  
What, this blog post? Yah, it's a little awkward. Good think I only have 3 people that pop in from time to time. (laughs)
No, I mean you and me. We just aren't the same, Julie. I think we should take some time apart..You know, see other people.. Break up.
Huh?
It's a new year. Go out, find another inner monologue. You're still young.
Wait, did I just break up with myself?
**Chirp Chirp**
Shit.

I can't even come up with a witty title to this one.

Ugh..The realization that I am going to be single again just hit and it is not like an episode of Sex and The City. I don't have "girls", and I don't like appletinis.  In fact, I have no desire to openly date around. My social abilities are awkward at best, and my amazing talent to suck the life out of a room hasn't won me too many admirers. So please, no dates. No set ups. No..anything.

I got invited to a party last week. I got ready to go, but ended up flaking out and going to bed instead. The idea of meeting new people sounded pretty terrible. I have enough energy to Facebook and that is about it..

It fits.

Un soupir de soulagement!

Yes...a sigh of relief. I have found an apartment and it is awesome. Pictures to come.
Also, I have found something new to obsess over--Myself! Yes me. Don't get me wrong, I still obsess over Averie-- but I think I actually got lost in the shuffle over the last few years.
