On Moving

I moved a few weeks ago.

There was lots of tape, permanent marker smell, and coffee drinking. One of the times I move, I'm going to actually take off work, and be organized.

And maybe pigs will fly on that day, too.

One thing I do know, I would never get done what I do if it wasn't for my epic circle of family and friends that always lend a hand. Over and over. Returning my phone when I forget it, then my camera... Thank you. I would defiantly be even more of a hot mess if it wasn't for you all. Love you.

 This isn't as much a I'm Moving post, though. My blog is! I'm trying to go in a slightly different direction (more food) and just wasn't able to do what I wanted here anymore.

Thank you all so much for the support and I hope you like the new place as much as I do!
Tell everyone you know! 

SO. Without further ado:

Ring in the New

Dear 2013;

Let's be friends.

I'll try and get used to writing "2013", but to be perfectly honest, it will be sometime in September when it finally feels natural. I wont even go into how much I liked writing 12 - - 12 all last month, how right it felt, how organized. 

If you treat me as well as your older sibling did, well, I will be ridiculously spoiled again.  So many friends made. So much learned. So much EATEN.

Every year I look back and find myself working/have worked jobs and doing things that I never thought I would because the idea scared me silly. Let's keep this up. It's growing on me.

My resolution list includes things like develop more recipes, be more kind(and patient, and understanding, and listen more, and..), and come up with some names for those drinks you keep making up. (what?) 

I have quite a few things up my sleeve for you 2013 - some right at the cuff..some more towards the elbow..but just you wait. It's going to be an entertaining year if nothing else.

love,
Me

There is a potato ricer on my desk and bay leaves in my purse.
