New Year's 2012

Me - New Years, wow! I love New Years! I went to a New Year's party. I met a girl named Joanna who is six years old. I also met a teenage girl named Erica. I also met a girl named Alison. She lives further away than the other too. We played fashion show. I love watching the ball drop. I do it every year. It is so much fun. The party was so much fun. I liked it so much better than staying at home like I normally do. I only ever went to one other New Year's party. That wasn't so much fun because the only other kids were all older than me. This year I am looking forward to school ending because I don't like my teacher at all. I can't wait to go to American Girl again. My grandmother is getting me another American Girl doll for my birthday. I can't wait to go on vacation to the Poconos with my whole entire family for my grandparents 50th anniversary. When we go to the Poconos, I am going to walk form one side of the big rocks to the other. My grandpa said that its not hard but it is fun and tough. I am willing to take the challenge. Happy New Year!

Mom -   So here it is another year 2012. Usually on New Years we just stay-at-home and watch movies and take videos of the kids and stuff. However, this year we actually went to a New Year's party. It was nice, and we met some nice people. Reflecting on 2011, I can't say I am sorry to see it over. It did have it's good points like my daughter and I starting this blog, but mostly I am glad to see it gone. Already 2012 is showing much more promise of a being a good year than 2011 was. My stepson turned 18, and we soon will not have to send money to  his mother or have dealings with his mother anymore. I am getting a smartphone and before the end of the year I am getting a new laptop, and a kindle fire. We finally got rid of our cable TV and went back to satellite where we have an actually DVR and not a glorified VHS like we used to have. One that we can watch in any room. To me, the DVR is the most important part of the while thing. I am not interested in watching what is on. I am interested in watching what I want when I want. I am looking forward to going on vacation with the family next summer. It's been a long time since we went on vacation at all. Maybe, we'll even get down to visit my husband's father this year. My girls haven't seen their grandfather in a few years.  I am looking forward to continuing blogging and maybe even to starting another blog or two. I would like to start one on things to do in the NewYork/New Jersey and Pennsylvania area and another one about things to do to make money and/or earn things on-line. Even though I have learned a lot about the latter on various blogs, I know about a lot of different survey sites and stuff that I have never heard mentioned on other blogs. I have been thinking about starting these new blogs for quite a while. However, I have just been too busy to get to it. Therefore, I am going to try to manage my time better this year so I can get to everything I need to and want to do. I am not sure if I can really do that though because there are so many things that I need and want to do all the time that there just never seems to be enough hours in the day. I would also like to exercise more and eat less this year. Those are just a few of my New Year's resolutions. I always make a lot of New Year's resolution because I look at it as not only ways I want to change my life, but as a plan for the way I want to live my life. Something that I think it is good to reevaluate every year, and New Year's is the perfect opportunity to do that.

And that's our view. Tune in Friday for another topic.
