Happy New Year!!!

Hope everyone rang in the new year in style...I did in my pajama style, behind my closed eyelids. Maybe I'll ring in 2013 in a little more stylish manner!! Kids go back to school this week (YIPPEE), hubby goes back to regular work schedule (ugh...it has been so nice to have him around more than usual these past 2 weeks), and I'm getting ready to start some new routines: a diet routine, an exercise routine, and an organizational/homekeeping routine (check out Clean Mama for help in this area). Hope you have some great plans and dreams for 2012!!!

Blessings,
The Buzz
