Resolutions

Every year I make a mental list of things I would like to accomplish, but I usually only remember a couple as the year goes on. This year I am going to make sure I remember, by making a list of them on here! Then you can all hold me to it!

1. Eat Healthier. I know, so cliche. But it needs to be done!

2. Gym time. Yep, another. But Tom is finally sold on going to the gym with me, so I think this time it is going to work out!

3. Read more. I have so many books that I have started and never finished. I love reading but I haven't been taking the time to do so lately. If you know of any great books, let me know!

4. Disconnect. I spend a ton of my time on the computer, just surfing around. Or on my phone- Facebook, Instagram, all of my games. It has gotten way worse since I got an Iphone. I need to make sure to remember to unplug every once in a while and find some entertainment in plain old life. 

5. Save Save Save. I am not very good when it comes to money related matters. I have this problem- If I see something I want, I buy it without thinking. Otherwise if I don't, I think about it for days and days. It's creepy. So this year I would like to try and control myself and hold back the urge to buy every 10 dollar shirt I like at Target. It will be hard, but I know I will come out alive! Plus, I would love to save up to buy a new camera! A nice one! With a big, juicy lens!

6. Sloooow Doooown. This goes for everything. It's such a fast paced world and I need to make sure I stop to smell the roses every once in a while.

7. Be a better partner. Tom and I get along 80 percent of the time. And we usually don't fight, just arguments here and there about stupid things like toilet paper and socks. But every once in a while, usually around that time of the month, I can be super super bitchy and annoyed at everything. I feel bad for poor Tom because he gets the brunt of it. I hope to be able to recognize that I am in one of those moods, and I need to just calm the eff down. Haha. Such a lady problem.I also would just like to do more! Love more, listen more, appreciate more.

8. Spend more time with my family/friends. This one is a given. I love these people and I need to make as much time as I can for them!

9. Travel. I would love to visit more places this year! It has been so hard the past 4-5 years, since I have been at the salon, to take time off to travel! This year I am going to take as many little random trips as I can! Life is too short!

10. Education. This is a big one. And one that I have thrown around in my head for years. I would love to be able to take some classes. I only went to college for a year before I started going to Cosmetology school, and it has always been something that I have regretted. Not saying I hate my job, but it would be nice to have a college education. Just in case I end up changing my mind later in life, and just for a peace of mind. Education is so important and no one can ever take it away from you. I am going to force myself to accomplish this goal because I have tried so many times to make this happen, but I always get too scared! Not anymore! Brave Katie coming through!

What are some of your resolutions for the new year? Link up in the comments if you have any posted- I would love to see them!

Happy Weekend!

Thursday Top Ten- Christmas Edition!

Today's Top Ten will be featuring my favorite movies to watch around the holidays.


10. Edward Scissorhands

Sure, this isn't exactly a "Christmas" movie, but it does feature an old Winona Ryder explaining to her grandchildren why it snows on Christmas. So I think it counts. I love this movie, even though it makes me feel so bad for poor Edward. I always end up feeling super sad! I mean, he makes it snow every Christmas, in California, just for her. Bring on the tears.

9. The Grinch

This is such a classic. It reminds me of being young and singing along to all the songs. That little Cindy Lou Who is the cutest! I hope my children look just like that little cutie!

8. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Another awesome classic. I think it is a tradition for families all across the world to watch this movie around Christmas. So many hilarious moments, that are even funny after seeing the movie over 50 times.

7. The Snowman

This really is one of the sweetest little movies. We used to watch this in school when I was younger, and it captivated me from the get go. It is very short, and wordless, but it is so stinking sad! If you haven't yet, watch it! You will love it.

6.  A Christmas Story

Classic! This is probably the most watched Christmas movie in my family. For as long as I can remember, every Christmas we have watched this at my Dad's holiday get together. It has always been on in the background of our eating and gift opening. I remember always being so amazed/horrified by the kid who gets his tongue stuck to the pole. Yikes!

5. All I Want for Christmas

AHH! I love this movie so much. It is so cheesy and old, but my sister and I went through a stage when we would watch this almost every day. It features a young Thora Birch, and a young (smokin) Ethan Embry, so you really can't go wrong. It's so good!

4. Elf

I had to put this on here. It rules. The burp scene kills me to this day.

3 & 2.  Home Alone 1 and 2

More classics! I used to have the biggest crush on Macaulay Culkin, and my first boyfriend Eric could have been his twin. But then he moved away and my heart was broken. He did, however, get me a set of turtle doves just like in the second movie (I know, so sappy). My mom still has my turtle dove and she puts it up on the tree every year. Ahh, young love!

1. Just Friends

This is probably on my list for one of the best movies ever, Christmas or not. My sister and I quote this movie ALL THE TIME. It is so hilarious. I'm talking, laugh out loud, pee your pants funny. Every character is perfect, and it all revolves around Christmas time! How perfect!
I'm actually about to go watch this right now.

What are your favorite holiday movies? Any of mine make the cut?

night!
xo!
