Girl Stays Home For New Year's, Bakes Cookies


This just in: I decided to stay home this New Year's Eve. And it was great.

I’ve always secretly dreaded all the New Year’s hype. In fact, I can only remember liking one New Year's my whole life, when I kissed a guy I had crushed on for ages. This year, my apartment felt really cozy, and I really wanted to just cuddle up for a quiet night in. When I told Bean my plan to stay in, he said, “I wish I had that kind of courage.” Aside from being a homebody, apparently I am also brave!

So, while at home last night, I watched this...



And baked these...



And called them...












Hope you had a Happy New Year, too!

Just came across this post Joanna and it is one of my favorites! Really resonates with me though I haven't exactly done the same.

Jo, I wanted to go back and read your very first blog to see what it was like in the earliest days. seeing as yours has become one of my favorites, it is fun to watch how it has evolved over time. I would love to know more about your blogging beginnings and if you ever suspected yours would become so huge:) cheers!

I stayed home last year, alone, and watched 'Easy A.' After a hard year full of major change, it was a welcome, peaceful end and beginning.

So nice to read your first post. :)

It is nice to see that something that was started on New Year's Day has been carried through. ;)

just read your first ever post-sweetness. this past new years was my first ever at home- I can't say i loved it-but I loved getting up early on the first for a run in the forest-with no hangover!
