What you do today on New Years...

There is a saying that what we do on New Year's sets us up for the entire year. So Choose wisely,lol!

I am sitting my kids down and planning 2 weeks of dinner and going grocery shopping to get items to start a 900 calorie push to weight loss ( a few of the ladies I am going on a cruise with in September are doing it too) and its the last game of regular season football. Go Steelers!

What are you doing this New Year's Day?

Slept in, cooked pancakes, went to the beach and had dinner with family. If only the rest of the year would feel so relaxed!
Hope your menu planning is a success.

As little as possible. It would be nice if that really did set the tone for the coming year, but we will be building our little house and if I don't participate, DH will get it all wrong and put the bathroom paint on the kitchen walls and the kitchen paint will become the bedroom walls LOL.

So I'll enjoy the quiet today and maybe I'll crochet and color in my coloring books.

I'm meeting an old friend for lunch in the park, and then I'm working.

I have two newspapers to read , a wonderful smoothie to drink, some yoga poses and planks to practice, and my office to set in order for a fresh start on Tuesday! Oh, and I really should cook something for dinner

Boy, if that is true, my 2017 is ready for the dumpster already. Today I am nursing some deeply bruised feelings from the New Year's Eve outing that was less than festive, and packing up the bulk of my Christmas decorations, which is always bittersweet because the house seems so blah without them.

I think the remedy for my funk will be jumping back into the routine come Tuesday. Woo hoo!

Mimosas, bacon and eggs for breakfast followed by lounging, ordering heirloom seeds for spring, walking the dogs. Working with my husband to make a sentimental roast chicken recipe for dinner. It's a great day!

Hiked up to a scenic area with my DH, where we took a few photos to remember the day, to be followed by lunch out at one of our favorite spots. Lovely day, cool and sunny. A sweet start to the year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A good cuppa tea soothes the soul and helps me think - and there is lots of it on this New Year's Day (pic of the all important tea making station at the Cox Castle). Off to walk Sam in a bit on this frosty day, and then off to see La La Land - that was nominated for 8 Golden Globes. Not thinking about anything too serious today as there will be plenty of that in 2017.

I'm working an extra shift. I started off the day by paying a huge stack of bills. Some are things I prepaid. So I guess I will be paying attention to managing my money in 2017.
This is really likely. I will be going to grad school full time in the fall and will likely drop to part time at my job. I have savings goals to get me through school.

Our church collects peanut butter for the hungry in our area. This morning I brought 36 jars of peanut butter, in honor of our 36th anniversary today. It will be donated to our local food bank. Our church has donated over a ton of peanut butter this past year.

Woke up to sunshine and 54 deg weather in Brigantyne, NJ (near Atlantic City). Had a leisurely cuppa, then joined a bunch of folks from both sides of the family (bride's (ours) and groom's (theirs)) for a Polar Bear swim! Due to the fine weather, there were THOUSANDS! DS's were foolish enough to take part while DH and I held towels! Water was 37 deg.

We are back at the house playing cards, eating pizza, and catching up on family news.

I went through the refrigerator and threw out the last of the holiday leftovers, as well as stale christmas cookies! I also changed out my couch pillows and some decor around the house to bring some cheerful color in. The house was feeling a bit bland after taking down the christmas decorations. I enjoy the minimal look for a few days, but then I start to feel the need for some color and cozy accessories.

Happy New Year!

We walked on the beach (chilly but fun) and are just lazing around the rest of the day.

We always spend some time on New Years day relaxing with our kids (who are now in college) and watching old home videos of when they were little. They were funny little kids, and the videos just make us all laugh.

Had to quickly dress for early Mass and then had bagels and coffee at our house with DS, DDIL and DGS. Needed a nap after the early morning after a late night. Helped put together some IKEA pieces for basement organization and talked to DS in Japan as he snowboarded, DSister in Chicago and DSI in Omaha. I also called some friends. I'll be very happy if the New Year brings lots of contact with family and friends.

thank you to everyone who shared, it's 1am and I came back to read and was delighted. You brought joy to me as I am struggling to see the new year arrive and move forward without a sister.

Angie Love your Tea Station , I have one as a result of our Ireland trip!

Let's see new years eve I spent deep cleaning the house. I went to night watch service to ring in the new year at church. I went to 2 church services at different churches because it was sunday. I we had fellowship after church and we went home to spend time with the family on new years day.

That's a whole lot if church for me in one weekend but I enjoy the different services. So I spent it exactly the way I wanted to.

I was conscious of that saying yesterday, as my mother often said it when I was growing up. She likes to start the new year with a clean house and always wanted me to clean my room New Year's Eve.

I exercised and wrote fiction, two things important to me. And I also made some tasty cocktails and shopped online for jewelry . I did some knitting in the evening and that is something I hope to do more of this year.

I spent half of new year's day in bed, sleeping off jetlag. Hope that doesn't set me up all wrong for 2017. ;-P

I was on vacation in CA and went to the Exploratorium in San Francisco with my cousin and her family. It was a beautiful, clear, day!
