chocolate and whine: Edward. And another failed resolution. Naturally.

2010 was an interesting year. (Yes, I'm taking us back just a bit.) My then husband and I had just moved into a new apartment and promptly split up. But before the drama there was a New Years resolution. One I never told you about because (gasp!) I never finished it and sometimes I just don't want to admit to quitting. Again. But I found these photos and they made me so happy (and so disappointed for not following through for ONCE IN MY LIFE) that I had to share.

Oh. The resolution? Was to take a picture of Edward every day for a year. In my defense, I did not buy myself the doll. A friend did. And I still have it, so maybe, one day, I'll take up right where I left off. (But maybe probably not.)

January 1, 2010 | "Today, Edward took up permanent residence in my purse for the adventure of a life time." (These captions are what I had typed in on Flickr. Sometimes my cleverness knows no bounds.)

January 2, 2010 | "Posing in front of the Christmas lights that SOMEONE has yet to put away. (And, by "someone," I mean me.)"

January 2, 2010 bonus! | "I just like twinkle lights."

January 3, 2010 | "I went to bed for a much needed nap, but made the mistake of bringing my laptop. I got distracted and we watched Under the Tuscan Sun instead."

January 4, 2010 | "Wrapping a Christmas gift that come TEN DAYS LATE. (NFLshop? You suck.) And the tape? Well, one of Edward's legs is longer than the other. Something Stephenie Meyer failed to mention this in the books."

January 5, 2010 | "Neglected on the dining room table."

January 6, 2010 | "Helping me choose a recipe. As you can see, he takes this very seriously."

January 7, 2010 | "In a Target dressing room."

January 7, 2010 bonus! | "Bonus picture. After leaving the Target dressing room, I was so mad at myself for not having the balls to take a picture in public that I threw him into a bin of bargain panties and snapped a picture. Yes, really. You're welcome."

January 8, 2010 | "At the movies where we watched Leap Year (awful) and then movie hopped because he just had to see himself in New Moon. For a 5th time. He has a problem. (By the way. Flash. Ew.)"
