Raise a toast to the New Year!

2012 has been good to me and I can't wait to see what the new year brings!  I've rekindled old friendships, developed new ones and now have a new found hatred respect for fitness.  This year my Husband and I joined a gym specializing in Israeli self defense (check out my first impression of Krav Maga)  and high intensity strength / plyometrics training. It has become a great stress reliever, has given me more confidence and is something we can experience together.

Jennifer Lopez studied Krav Maga in the movie "Enough"

I'm not one to make resolutions but I look forward to what 2013 brings us!

Here are a few toasts-in-pictures made with friends and family over the years :)

"Here's to the bright New Year and a fond farewell to the old;  
Here's to the things that are yet to come and the memories that we hold."

"May all your troubles during the coming year be as short-lived as your New Year's resolutions."

"Here's to you and here's to me,  Friends may we always be! But, if by chance we disagree, Up yours! Here's to me!"

"Here's to heat!
Not the kind that ignites and burns down shanties...but the kind that excites...and slides down the panties!"

"As you slide down the banisters 
of life, may the splinters never 

point the wrong way."

 Happy New Year !!!

New Adventures and I Miss You Much

by The Big Sister

Hello!  Happy Martin Luther King Jr., Valentines, St Pattie's, Easter, Passover, and whatever other big day I've missed :) 

Lot's of things have happened since my last post and I thought I'd clue you in on some of the latest and greatest.

My first distraction from Design DNA was an on going love affair with a book of been trying to write...for over ten years.  My unofficial A.D.D. diagnosis seems to prevent me from focusing on extracurriculars for long periods of time so I tend to have way to many things going on at once. 

My second distraction from Design DNA and my first distraction from my latest attempt at writing... was the decision my Husband and I made to join a gym.  Elliptical, treadmill, or leg press machines are not found in this gym.  Only my BLOOD, SWEAT and TEARS!

Curious?
