kate’s 700th post reminded me of my list and the fact that it’s almost five years old. so i think it’s time for the 2012 edition with me being almost 35 now and all….. so without further ado my laminated list // 2012 edition

* jeffrey dean morgan

i don’t even know where to start with this guy. the eyes, the voice, the …. everything. yum.

* kevin james

always has been and always will be on my list. with him, it’s the whole package. guys with humor and confidence just really do it for me. and since we’re practically buddies…

* eric dane

mcsteamy. says it all. omg, those arms …

* james holloway

preferably sans shirt and dirty from living on the island.

* jerry o’connell

i have to say he did grow up nicely since “stand by me” and i love (!) the laugh-lines around his eyes – among other features ;)

you’re welcome :) do you have a list, too?

happy new year. and i hope you all had a nice christmas and new year’s. yeah, i know it’s the 17th. i know i’m wayyyy late. sorry. i just didn’t feel it. no reading or writing online. i did enjoy the “time off” but am ready to be back again. so, here’s a little “phone dump” of my last four weeks, i set my google reader to “mark all read” and am now all set to start over and dive back into the “blogosphere” again. hope you’re all still here :)

xmas-snuggles // my tree // xmas-party-bowling with the office // godchildren <3

frohe weihnachten // me ready to go, ornament earrings and all // at my friend’s = my godchildren’s parents for christmas eve

nephews and niece // post-xmas-shopping // cocktails with the advertising chicas

sharpie-love // new year’s at best friend’s // happy new year // shopping day with bff

with san @ tk maxx // lots of chatting = we need tea // my godson lias again // chocolate chip goodness

back @ work // home-made sushi // clara likes sushi, too // just me

so i just signed up for 12 changes in 2012 and am still working hard on my 35 b4 35 with only a few weeks to go. i got a new job and will leave the agency after almost 12 years for new adventures at the end of february and am working on a new wish for make-a-wish germany. for me, 2012 started out pretty great and looks like it’s going to be an exciting year of changes. i kinda can’t wait since i didn’t particularly love 2011 (even though it was better than 2010, to be fair). anywho – to a great new year for all of us!
