It’s a brand new year, a brand new start, a brand new Bachelor… (yes, its on right now, and I don’t know why I’m watching it, to be honest. Usually my guilty pleasures tilt more “Next Top Model/Project Runway” than “The Bachelor/ Celebrity Wife Swap”)
But back to a brand new year. Why not also join a brand new party, the “5 Things I’m Loving Right Now” party started at Chesterrific? Especially since it goes along with my regular Monday theme of “Make my List Mondays…”
So what do I like?
1. My new Wacom Bamboo Create tablet: In just over a week, I’ve been painting, sketching, graphing maps, drawing out animated stories to post on youtube, and sketching out obnoxious pictures to send to man-go-round and loved ones. I haven’t even created any “serious” graphics yet, and already it is so worth it! THANK YOU MOM AND DAD!
2. New earrings! Between my birthday and Christmas, I seriously scored this season. Wanna see the goods? Of course you do!
3. Catching up on TV shows like 2 Broke Girls. I’ve been watching this one on the CBS website, and it makes me laugh pretty much nonstop. Keep it coming! Other ones I’ve been watching in online marathons are Once upon a Time, The Ringer, and Hart of Dixie.
4. The weather we’ve been having! Good grief- January before any snow in Minnesota? Regular temps in the 40s for Minnesota winter? Safe winter driving in Minnesota? WHAT IS GOING ON? If it continues, I don’t need to know, I’ll just keep enjoying it…
5. Short hair. I got my hair cut quite a bit shorter at the end of October, and boy do I wish I had hacked more of it off sooner. I have this thick, ridiculously fast growing hair, and if I don’t manage it and keep it short it swallows me alive! So everyone go out and get a bob cut, NOW!

Going to be cheesy on this one and say I have been loving…you, my sister! Also, I have been loving extra time with my family over the holiday break, discovering pinterest finally and lasagna (I have made it four times in the last two weeks.) It is time to move on now, as my heartburn is out of hand. ha!
Awww, I’m loving you too, of course! I’ve been enjoying seeing what you like on pinterest as well, we both like the same dorky crafts and food and party stuff 🙂
I have seen a couple episodes of 2 Broke Girls. It’s pretty good. I’m loving Once Upon a Time. The twists on classic fairy tales are awesome to see and I’m also looking forward to seeing any fairy tales that I might not have heard of before (I’m sure there are some) as well as the stories you might not think would be used (for some reason, the 3 Little Pigs came to mind on that idea).
I’m also more of a short hair person. I prefer it to be shoulder length or a bob. Much easier to manage that way 🙂
Pretty earrings! I bet you’re excited to wear them 🙂
I have to say, a lot of the draw to Once Upon a Time for me is the super hot sheriff!
Ah, yes! On one of the TV news sites I read, all the staff writers are female and they all refer to him as Hot Hipster Sheriff. Very appropriate. Lots of eye candy between him and Charming/David 😉
haha, that sounds very appropriate indeed- It must be the skinny jeans 🙂
Love those earings, they are beauttiful. Good on you for getting the bob cut! I used to have long hair for most of my life. Then around this time last year I finally built up the courage to get it cut into a bob. I’d been wanting to do it for ages. It works for me too! A lot thicker and I can straighten it more often. Like you, I wish I’d done it earlier. Happy new year and best wishes for 2012.
Yea- another bob fanatic! Happy New Year!
Your hair looks really pretty!!! And look at all those awesome earrings…I am obsessed with Betsy Johnson jewelry. 😉
HAPPY 2012!!!!
Thanks! I like long hair on other people, but its not for me most of the time 🙂
Love all of the earrings – especially the Betsey Johnson ones! I started out watching Two Broke Girls when it first aired, but then I kind of forgot about it! I think I need to have a marathon. 🙂
Thanks! (those are my favorites too). I like 2 broke girls because its nice and short! simple sitcom 🙂
I like new earrings too! And hurray for new haircuts! I get mine on the 6th.
Happy New Year!
I am jealous- I have to wait at least a month or so before getting mine cut again 🙂 its like my favorite thing to do.
Yay, thanks for linking up, fun!
Love your earring collection, you totally scored! And, I’m watching The Bachelor too, not usually my kind of show, I’m hit or miss with the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows. But for some reason I’m watching … and it’s weird! Did you see that one girls occupation is “blogger”?!
haha- does she blog about relationships?
Those are some pretty earrings..love them! 🙂 Your short hair looks great!
I recently got my hair cut too and like my hair shorter as well. 🙂
Happy 2012!
I love the first shampoo after you get a lot cut off.. it feels so good!
I neeeed to take that photo into the hairdressers! Love it!
Thanks! Yes my original haircut was a longer bob (now its called a “lob” I guess) and the hairdresser knew just what I was trying to describe.
LOVE your earrings and your hair cut and I am so wanting a bamboo tablet now!
the weather here is amazing too. like 70’s and warm breezes!
I was outside soaking it up and I am convinced it’s what helped me get over my horrible cold.
yay for UV
Happy New Years!
Yeah, I didn’t think I was going to get it, but boy is it awesome!
the tablet, not my haircut hahaha
Woo, you got new Betsey earrings!
I have been loving being on winter break. No hustle and bustle commute, no responsibility, just pure freedom.
Oh how I miss having a break 🙂 Enjoy it!
First time vistor to your blog; Happy New Year!
I am a ANTM/PRunway watcher, too, but I am also addicted to the silly Bachelor.
🙂
Embarrassingly enough, I kind of WANT to get hooked on the bachelor, since everyone talks about it haha. Thanks for visiting!
I’m hesitant to be too excited about the weather… remember how it was basically winter until April last year? I would NOT appreciate a repeat of that scenario, so I’m hoping late snow just means a shorter winter 🙂
I’m hoping “mild winter” as well! and so far the 10 day forecast still agrees (crossing fingers)
Bachelor…Top Model…Project Runway. Are we the same person?! 😀
I love your new earrings too! And that’s awesome that up in Minnesota you’re facing the fall-like weather this January as well. I’ve been loving it here in Missouri and I don’t want it to end. EVER!
I would like to think we have some similarities 🙂 My twin is a rock star 🙂
I am a tad jealous of number one…would love one of those!! Hope to see some “serious” or even not so serious graphics on here soon 🙂 Love Once Upon a time and Grimm!! And my guilty pleasure has been real housewives of orange county *hangs head in shame* 🙂 Happy New Year Meri!
Well I think for awhile it is going to be “not so serious graphics” haha. It does make even little graphics for my silly blogs much more fun though. I always hated Paint so this is way easier!
I love having short hair! I also love those earrings that you got! Yay! I also love watching those shows online! Are we twins?!
I like to think so 🙂
