Fill in the Blank "Almost New Year's Eve" Friday

Oh my, I see that I haven't been able to blog since the last FITBFriday. I've had a post that I really want to share since Monday, however since it's been a short and crazy week, I will be posting it today. Yes, two posts today!
 
Any special plans for New Year's Eve? My mom is flying in tomorrow for a few days and she will be taking care of Didi down at my Aunt's house so Dan and I have the night off. We've thought and thought about what we should do. With limited resources, we are trying to think of something. Probably a restaurant and maybe a movie? But who really wants to be sitting in a movie New Year's Eve? What I would love to do is buy a couple bottles of champagne and just walk around the city. It's something that I really miss doing with Dan. We used to walk so much. When we travel we always try to choose a place where we can walk or take public transportation. We used to walk to hours and go sight seeing or just talk and talk and talk. When we lived in Germany, it was nothing to us to just walk three miles to the pizza place, or two miles to the Easter Market. Now, we can barely get to the park and back because of Didi and the dog. Which is fine, they both love to "walk" but going one mile can now take an hour.
 
It would be dreamy to just drink champagne, walking around the city still covered in Christmas lights, eat dinner somewhere and get back home for the midnight celebration. We'll see what the night entails. As for today, I am getting out early from work and we are headed to IKEA. I have a couple of packages for friends I've been holding for our trip to IKEA to get a few gifties. We were supposed to go last Friday, but then a snowstorm kinda of ruined those plans.
 
Happy New Year my friends, may it be blessed with health, laughter, and happiness.

1.   New Years is    a time to daydream about the upcoming year. Make fun plans for the future and reflect on what has been accomplished in the ending year.
2.   One of my New Year's resolutions will be   nothing. No pressure, no stress, just living my days mindfully and to the best of what that day holds   .

3.  A New Year's resolution I've made in the past was to   buy high heels and wear them more. Yep, I bought them and they are really cute, but not really me. I've worn them 2 times .

4. The most time consuming resolution I ever made was    a weight loss one in 2009, I accomplished it to about 90%, then ended up pregnant. But I think getting healthier and losing weight really helped my ability to get pregnant and stay healthy all throughout .

5.  This year I will be spending New Year's Eve    with Dan, alone. So weird to have a night off, I already miss Didi and she isn't even gone yet for her sleepover. Hopefully we'll enjoy a nice dinner and of course champagne.

6.  If I could wish one thing for my new year it would be    to prioritize my health as very important.

7.  2012 is going to be    a year of mindfulness.
