Resolution Boots

I will save more, drink less, go to the gym, floss, etc etc.......but I will look better doing all of that in these boots.

Getting sloppy drunk and kissing everyone in the room at midnight

Snopes.com does a good run down of New Year's lore and while we may give the getting sloppy drunk and kissing tradition a pass (or maybe not) we do love the tradition of eating black eyed peas for good luck on New Year's Day.

Wikipedia gives a snappy little history lesson on the good luck legend and according to them, many cultures consider the black-eyed pea to be a natural aphrodisiac so do be careful with the midnight kissing thing if you want to enjoy your peas to the full the following day.

What a hike

Thinking of walking off those holiday lbs? Orvis has a gorgeous set of travel guides to get you moving in the right direction.

America National Parks provides a wealth of information on US National Parks, State Parks, National Forests, and other historic places across the country. The Rocky Mountains Journal focuses on the Rocky Mountains from Texas to Montana, reviewing parks, scenic routes, and recreational sites along the way. The Appalachian Trail Guide covers the 2,175 miles of the AT from Georgia to Maine with journal space to log your trail adventures. The World Atlas contains maps and note pages for major cities and countries worldwide. All four are bound in soft, premium calfskin. Gilt-edge, acid-free pages for strength and longevity. The small size makes it handy to carry along on adventures.
