happy new year!

Happy New Year, friends! Does anyone else just love the new year? So much potential for the 2012, reflection on 2011, and champagne to drink!

I spent the weekend with Frank, my friend Meg, Frank's sister and brother-in-law, and their friends at this awesome old house in Blakeslee, Pennsylvania. It was a little outdated but in a really charming way. After the stress of my Grandma's wake and funeral, it was great to get away and de-stress. I ate a lot of crappy food, drank a decent amount of alcohol (hello, Jameson and Arnold Palmer, margaritas in a bucket, and keg beer!), and slept and/or lazed about almost the entire time. It. was. magical.

I've got a lot of awesome things to catch up on, so expect a solid number of posts over the next few days including peeks of my Christmas and NYE, shop updates, some of my new year's resolutions, DIYs, and more! Oh, and if you haven't heard already, Google Friend Connect is ending, so please click over to Bloglovin' to start following A Wild Tonic there! Thanks! :)
