I think I'm hooked

So I discovered polyvore a couple weeks back, but never really played with it until today. I've been at my computer for HOURS...I MEAN HOURS!!! But it's fun and I gotta go back to work tomorrow so I guess it's fair. Check this out:

22 Years Strong

While I don't feel any older, I do believe I am a bit wiser and hope to channel this wisdom into the coming year to improve my life, my Self and my environment.  I don't believe in New Year's resolutions.  They always seemed temporary and easily broken.  I prefer to reach for larger goals, more lasting ones.  So, that being the case, the new Pennerad is 22, with an afro (wow...seriously?), a far cry from the Pennerad of years past.  I've got a better grasp on what I want and need from my life, and while my hyper-criticism is still not quite in check, I'm working on getting a handle on what I want out of my career and post-bac lifestyle.  It's scary, but I think I'm becoming a grown-up.  Dangit...
  

To celebrate my birthday, I bought myself a pair of boots.  Functional, comfy, and with LACES!  Yippee.  
New Fryes.  Man, I love the Internet.



Today's Brunch at a BK restaurant called Bratwa's.  Haven't had this in about 12 years, so i was real happy.

New Year's goofiness.  I wore a black shirt-dress from H&M; a giant faux fur hooded coat/cape thing; my cowl/cardigan/hood; Firma wool jacket, stockings from Target, and a pair of beige boots from Fornarina...none of which are really pictured here, but no matter.  Enjoy the fireworks instead:



All the best for the new year.  Any goals in mind?

Back in New York













2 CHRISTMASES??? Yep, I'm super late. AND my birthday is today. I'm an old-er lady, now. HA...aging sucks. Except for that whole learning thing. The learning experience, while horribly painful, will come in handy. Eventually. Or at least, so I hear. We shall see. Would've been great to have some images of my evening...those will come later. I'm recovering from the New Year's/Birthday Eve hangover.
