An awesome way to end the year

My cousin is in town today. My favourite, favourite, favourite relative. Can't wait for my hug :)

He is only in town today (and possibly, hopefully tomorrow as well). He's sailing one of the Sydney to Hobart yachts back to Melbourne and the plan is to meet for lunch today. The owner is thinking of setting off early, but I'm hoping the weather will be crap (on the water, not on land!!) and it will deter him for a day or 6 :)

As of 8.50am on New Years Eve, I'm not sure where I will see in the new year. I will probably be snuggled up in bed like the old granny I am!

A year in review

I can't believe that this year is nearly over.

When I was little, my parents friends told me to enjoy being young because the years would fly by as I got older. I read an interesting theory about this on the Thorn Tree recently. When you are ten, 1 year is only one tenth of your life, when you are 20, 1 year is 20th of your life. No wonder the years are flying by!

This year I

• Got myself into more debt - no proud of that one, but what can you do? I realise what I did and why it was so stupid, one can only learn from ones mistakes (too bad this mistake has 13% interest!)
• Had my first solo international trip - while I cut it short I had a wonderful time, I think about it everyday. Only this morning I had some hummus, tasted the garlic and was immediatley back in Chiang Mai
• Fell out of love - I think.
• Lost 10kg and managed to put it back on again - Whoops!
• Made some wonderful new friends
• Was present in 2 Annual Reports - Woo hoo!
• Had interviews for my dream job, with dream company - they then proceded to treat me like shit so I no longer want to work for that company
• Became a TV star :)

No doubt lots more things have happened to me, but these are the ones that spring to my hot, sticky, cranky mind at this moment in time.

I'm looking forward to recreating my life in 2006.

Yummy Cheesy Things

I love Twisties. Love, love, love Twisties. Supermarket shopping the other day and they had 2 100gm packs for $3 so of course I had to stock up!

Long time, no see

I'm back, back from overseas and back from wanting to escape from my life.

Since I've been back, I've floated along, not wanting to commit to anything or really do anything. I really want to buy a house by the beach and become a crazy woman who wanders along the beach each day at sunrise and sunset collecting other peoples junk and making weird crazy art from it. Doesn't matter that I don't have an artistic bone in my body, I just want to do it!!

My life hasn't changed since my birthday, but I have. A lot. I learnt a lot about myself when I was in Thailand. I've always seen myself as not needing other people to get on with my life, but I do, so much. I can have fun when I'm miserable and I love pineapple, but only Thai pineapple!

I've been applying for jobs here and there, but I realised last night that I've only been applying half heartedly. Writting my cover letters, given them a once over for spelling and such, but not rewording to make them perfect. I hate the place I work, dislike most of the people except who I get along with brilliantly so I'm not sure why subconsciously I'm sabotaging myself.

I'm good at sabotaging myself though, I'm back at WW and while I have lost weight, I'm sabotaging myself, all the time. The reason will show its head sooner or later, I wish sooner!

What a ramble :) I haven't rambled for awhile and it's nice to be back and rambling!
