Let's revive Friday Nite Girl get togethers in 2010! Make time for girl time and girl talk and strengthen the bonds of your friendship. Make it a goal (a New Year resolution!) to have more fun with friends. Then send your story with pictures to me at d@delilah.com. Take a look at Camille's letter - the perfect blend of food, fun and friends:

Let's face it, winter's wrath has arrived. And so has cold season, which can bring a wrath of its own into your home. When one kid gets sick in my home, you can bet it's going to spread thru all the rest in time. I should just have a year's supply of Kleenex socked away somewhere.

If you're making your resolutions (and I gave you some good ones on Monday), add this one too: I resolve to make time to do nothing and I will not feel guilty about it. Now how does one do that, exactly?
