Year in Review


 This is me:

I'm quite a loser.

So, 2012 blew by. Am I right? Or am I right?

Here are some photos of my year, because I know that you're really interested in that.

(and if you're not, too bad.)

I moved...and really did myself a favor while packing. FYI Labeling every box "Abby Randoms" helps no one.
I saw Bruce Springsteen. In New Jersey, because I'm hardcore.
I voted.
Hung out with friends.
Started a new hobby: infusing liquor. YUM DELISH.
I started a new position at Fishs Eddy! I'm now the Press, Registry and Social Media Assistant. (I also met Deb Perelman, SUCH a lovely woman!)
I survived Hurricane Sandy.
I baked. A LOT.
I celebrated Christmas in Park Slope with....
...Libby! Who came to visit and buy gifts for the 'rentals.
Family at Christmas


It was QUITE the year....
but I'm excited to see what 2013 will bring

New Year, New Resolutions

Gutentaug my dahling Interwebz! Happy (belated by about a week) New Year!

I've been neglecting you again, and for that, I do apologize. My life has been work, sleep, (maybe) eat, rinse, wash, repeat for the past 4-ish months or so. I did laundry last night for the first time in..oh...an embarrassing amount of time that I won't tell you because, well, it's disgusting. And when washing my dirty laundry, I began thinking about all I've accomplished in the past year and all that I hope to accomplish this upcoming year to make it even better than the last. So..I thought I'd share!

Last year, I won a few design awards, graduated from the toughest four years I've experienced, went to Vegas and survived, moved out of my beloved Brooklyn to a new apartment on the Upper East Side, started a twitter (self promo, so sue me), got a new job, made some ridiculously awesome new people, grew out my hair, chopped it all off, started dating again, met a few losers, met a few winners, and did it all with the best group of friends I've ever had by my side ridiculing me for my antics along the way--just the way I like it.

This year I hope to do more of the same with a bit more punch and pizazz added in for good measure. I hope to get a "legit" job--you know, the kind that pays me for designing stuff that I want to be designing (a girl can dream!). I hope to see more of those epic friends who make me laugh so hard. I hope to continue dating the wrong sort of guys so I can meet the right one for me. I hope to laugh at all of my mistakes, there's bound to be a plethora of new ones this year. I hope to work hard and continue to expand my business ventures. I hope to see my family more. I hope to start thinking of myself as my own (gasp) adult person-thingie and to start taking care of business, just like Aretha.

And above all, I hope to finally install that damn hanging lamp in my living room. That's just been pissing me off.

Do you have any hopes for the New Year, Interweb? Lose a few of those Spam-site pounds? Not that you need it, I think you're beautiful just as you are. Minus the pop-ups. Those have to go.
