new years eve

what a fun new years eve i had! i hope you did too. it was a busy day but felt really relaxed at the same time. in the afternoon some girlfriends and i did a ritual of writing down all the things from 2009 we are willing to let go of inside a circle. outside of the circle we wrote everything we wanted to bring into our lives in the next year and then we burned the lists. we used crayons and colored pencils, it was fun! i made a super in depth list, let me tell you! later on chris and i went to a friends house for some food and drinks. after that, we came back over to our side of town and hung out with some friends that live over here. we all walked down the street to bayshore which is on a little bay that leads out to tampa bay. there was a fireworks show at midnight and it was a great display! my friend is venezuelan, so she wanted to do some of their new years eve traditions which were pretty entertaining. we ate 12 grapes for each month of the new year, stepped on a bench 12 times, made a wish and threw rice over our shoulder and we had to wear something yellow. it was super fun. then we went back to her apartment and did some karaoke. it was a very fun night. today i'm going to make a goal list. i have a feeling this year is going to be pretty major and i'm really excited. i want to show you this video but my blog isn't wide enough. i'm going to see if i can fix that...but in the meantime, click this [link] to watch it on youtube. and tell me what you think!!!
