So 2012 is shaping out to be a good year so far! I woke up on my first day of the year, went to walk my dog and what did I find in the street but $10.00! Not bad!

Found money is always good money!

I started some of my New Years Resolutions and feel like I'm doing good! First I worked out about 2 days at home and 2 days at the gym, I weighted myself this morning and am down 1 pound which doesn't seem like much but honey let me tell you, one thing I learned on Weight Watchers is that every pound and ounce counts so don't take it for granted!

Second, I have gotten back on track with my eating habits and am tracking and logging into my Weight Watchers account online as an added effort to lose this 5 pounds I put on over the holidays. They taught us that tracking is the best way to know what you've eaten and what you are doing wrong... so true.. My goal is to go to a weigh-in in about a week.

I'm also reading a new book, which was also on my New Years Resolutions list: the book is a memoir called Confessions Of A Counterfeit Farm Girl and is so far pretty interesting and funny!

I'm thinking about starting a book club at my local Panera Bread but I currently have something else up my sleeve (it's a secret but will be revealed in due time) so that will have to wait a while.

Let's see, what else is new?? Oh my hubby got a new job or should I say promotion and I'm very proud and excited for him, he deserves it and works really hard! Speaking on hubby, he has decided to take up hunting and asked me to go along... Can you imagine me in a full body insolated hunting suit?? I don't think so! And what I told him was "I don't ask you to come to my fashion events so please don't ask me to go hunting with you."

I know the holiday season is over and all but I wanted to share some photos from a trip we took to the Capital in DC to see the Christmas Tree lighting that is held every year from Dec. 6th - Jan. 1st. We went Jan 1st...After the tree lighting we went to Ben's Chili Bowl for dinner and I sat in the Presidentasal seat where Barack Obama sat.. My hubby was embarresed to take a photo so he looked on as I got mine!!

Enjoy the pics!!

Annual Capital Christmas Tree Lighting.. In the background, you can see the Monument. I thought it was really pretty...

There were Christmas trees for every state.. I found my birth state below!

Everything's bigger in Texas!

Ben's Chili Bowl is a legacy in DC. Everyone from Bill Cosby to Barack Obama have eaten here...

What you can't see is that I had chili sauce all over my shirt!
