I just said ADIOS to a fantastic 2008 and ALOHA to a brand spankin' new 2009. In tow, I had a super cute boyfriend, two fabulous parents and oodles of cool drinks and cheap prosecco. What a cool/odd way to bring in the New Year.
2008 - thank you for coming. Thank you for being. Thank you for laughter and love and GOOD.
2009 - make it good. Bring it on. Do your best. Let's roll.
And while we're at it - ROSEBOWL!!! FIGHT ON USC.
Happy 2009 - thank you so much for reading.
Please meet my new Window Tapping Florida Feathered Friend.
At first I was like, "Oh wow! A bird! A red bird! How cool!" And now I am like, "Dude, if you put on a pair of Mickey ears and tap danced I would still want to kill you."
One of my favorite gifts this Christmas was this little book: Dream Big. This quote is just perfect - as I have no idea what or where "A" and "B" are for me right now.
Have a fantastic week.
New York is so very big. So very spectacular.
I had a very Merry Christmas - and I hope you did too. I am so excited about this new year and looking forward to returning to regular scheduled blogging and normal life then.
My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in Northern California with my husband and our two daughters.
I make stuff like it's my job.
In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.
If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.
Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.
Thank you so much for dropping by.
