Planning a low-key New Year’s Eve?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Ready to party like it’s 2009?
I don’t know about you, but I’m not hearing about a bunch of huge bashes planned for this New Year’s Eve.
Instead, I’m seeing lots of invitations with a more low-key feel. Whereas folks might have planned lavish buffets for their parties last year, it seems we’re hearing about “dessert” receptions, with a champagne toast, this year.
I’m also hearing about folks planning to meet up with friends at bars or restaurants, with everyone paying his or her own way.
There are plenty of events going on around town for those of you looking for a party this Wednesday night.
Budget-conscious party people may want to check out events surrounding the 20th annual Peach Drop. The entertainment lineup features Dancing With The Stars champion Julianne Hough and is free.
Is the economy affecting your New Year’s Eve party plans? Are you scaling back this year?

What are your resolutions for the new year?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What better time than the start of a new year to set fresh personal and professional goals?
Do you make and keep your new year resolutions? Some resolutions don’t stand a chance. I always resolve to lose weight, but end up with a net gain every year.
Perhaps this year I can hedge my bets by picking some vague resolution about becoming a better person. That gives me a whole year to do at least one thing right. How can I go wrong?
There are a number of websites that can help you find a resolution that fits.
The resolution challenged can check out About.com: Pittsburgh, which lists the top 10 resolutions. Included in the list: Spend more time with friends and family; quit smoking; and exercise more.
Writer Gretchen Rubin offers several tips to help you keep those resolutions.
So, what are your new year resolutions? Do you set specific goals? Do you write them down or share them with others?
