Bring on 2007!

I haven't posted in a while...for that I admit guilty.
It is scary how quickly 2006 shot passed. So much happened in so little time. I think Xmas was the first time I actually shut off in the entire year. I ended up asking my Sister-in-law Emma when she, Pablo and Saskia were around if it was really Xmas eve about 5 times on the day because I simply couldn't believe it. I completely lost track of the days at my parents house, which my mum commented was a very good thing because it meant I was allowing myself to chill out for once.

It has been a great year. So much has happened and I finally feel like I've settled into a little comfortable rut that I can stay in for a little while longer until I feel the need to change things. But hey, we'll see what the future brings.

Xmas was lovely. Very VERY relaxing. I couldn't believe how quickly the week passed as I did nothing the entire time. I kept being accused of being boring by certain siblings when I was particularly quiet, but I was just enjoying the quiet (which I now find curious considering we had a three year old in the house. She was truly wonderful, so playful and a delight to be around).
Sharing Christmas with the family was a lovely as it was so nice being with them for a time. Of course I missed Tom, but the 5 days really did fly by.
I got a great little batch of gifts which I'm currently enjoying so thank you to everyone for those!

New Years was cool too. I ended up dozing off on the sofa at 2ish after we celebrated at Midnight (we went up to Coventry to see a group of friends and crash) because I was so relaxed. Woke up a couple of minutes later in complete shock when people started moving around and the host had to spend a couple of minutes telling me to relax as I looked so taken aback at the sudden movement. We were served extremely well by both hosts who had to be ordered to sit down and take it easy as they'd done everything and started apologising when there was no more food left for us after they plied us with who knows how much!

So a new year and a new start...well I say a new start, but not much has changed really, though I'm feeling nicely comfortable at the moment. I've got a few habits I'd like to change, but I say that every year
Starting work again was a huge shock. I'd had 1 week off to relax but the shock of waking at 7 rather than my usual 10 was too much and by 3 on Tuesday I had a headache for the books! I couldn't face going home on my own so I waited until 5.30, pre-warned Tom before I met him and was looked after as soon as we got home. I felt so bad. Fortunately with his looking after, I soon picked up (after spending an hour with ice against my head, a few pills and Family Guy as a distraction from the pain).
But yes....Birthday this Sunday. Tom's taking me out to Richmond on Saturday and he's already been hyping me up about going out so I've been having to keep myself under control because if I get too excited, the day won't come soon enough and I'll get impatient. So really looking forward to that.

Apart from that, there's really nothing much to mention on here. I'm currently working on a story, which is progressing fairly well. When I've developed enough, I'll be posting it on here. I also have a picture I'm working on which will go on here.

Ah yes, I understand that some people can't comment on my Blog. I've had a look at the settings and everything looks ok so it's worth trying again to see what happens.

Anyway, a very happy 2007 for those I haven't told yet and I wish you all the very best for the year!
