Resolutions and Dinner!

Tonight I had dinner with two of my closest friends - M1 and M3.  We had dinner at Ivy, one of my favourite eateries in Boston (even though they changed the menu...)

Another of my "New Year's" resolutions has been to spend less on food.  I do not mean "eat less" by this, but I do spend a fair amount on take-out and eating out...

So, we came up with a plan.  Since we all live fairly close to one another, we would all cook once a week and have the others over.  M3 claimed Sundays, I've got Tuesdays and M1 is going to do Mondays or Wednesdays, whichever is better.  Wicked excited about this plan - hanging out with friends (who allow my pup over) and home-cooked foods - what could be better???

A Brief Update

Really brief.  BUT, I ran through five of my ten magazines tonight.  (Plus, a J. Crew catalog and a CB2 catalog.)  That's progress!

Along similar lines, new (or old) CB2 things I'm in love with:

bubble ball strand

sol console table

gigi stemware

Fun!  Now you've got a couple of ideas of what to get me for... MLK Day (?)

"New Year's Resolution"

The quotes are because I generally try to make "resolutions" all year long.  This time, it's just actually close to New Year's...

(Also, perhaps if I document it, it'll happen???)

I would like to read my magazines in a timely manner.  That's what's supposed to happen.  Magazines are slightly fluffy, you browse through them... and then the next one comes in a month.

Right?

NO.

I currently have (unread):

- Three Real Simples

- Two dwells

- One Tattoo

- Three Bostons

- One Met Home

That's what I could find, anyways.  TEN unread magazines.  What?  I mean, many of these don't even apply anymore.  Thanksgiving and Christmas are over...

(In my defense, most of these are left to browse till I can really focus, as I was to get something out of them.  Apparently, however, I'm unable to focus.  Ever.)

But, seriously?
