it's the last day!!

I can never work on the last work day of the year.

I fidget, I walk about, I get excited, I count the hours, I count the minutes.....actually I'd just go anything to take my mind off counting down so time can pass faster and I can go home. But here I am at 7.47pm waiting for UncleJocules to finish interview so we can have our customary farewell drink of the year. UncleJillu is MIA this year as he has gone off much earlier to head to Ozzieland and NZ.

So stupid right? Counting down the time and then sitting here waiting for alcohol. Sheesh!!

Anyway...... my desk is now super clean cause I put all useless paper for recycling, threw away all the junk I've collected on my desk, clean it and now it's dust free and smells of baby powder as I have used up a whole packet of Johnson & Johnson's baby wipes to wipe my desk and everything that's sitting on it. Ahhhhhhhhhh :-)

9 more sleeps till I see Oscar ....... I can't wait!!

Merry Christmas everyone and have a fantastic holiday & New Year.

Hugs & kisses & all the chrismassy joy... Xx

of this year....

It feels like I just blogged 2 days ago….and now it’s freaking DECEMBER already?? I always wonder how some of you manage to update your blogs almost on a daily basis. It’s either….

1) I really lack creative writing skills
2) I am just plain lazy
3) My life is just too bloody boring

I think I am a bit of all of the above. * sigh * Kesiannye….

So, again comes the end of the year and this is the customary “how did the year go” shit, I guess. Someone told me recently that it doesn’t really matter how most of the year went by, what stays in your memory is how the year ended. In a way I find that true as we do tend to reflect on our lives a little bit more coming to the end of the year (I wonder why??). Anyway I give example ok?

Example 1:
Say you have been trying to lose weight and for the past 10 months you have lost 6 kgs but in December after stuffing your face with many pre X’mas turkeys you find yourself putting on 3 kgs in 3 weeks. Do you remember the 6 kgs or the 3kgs? What would you more likely do – be happy that you’ve at least lost 3 kgs in a year or hate yourself for putting on that 3 kgs?

Example 2:
You’ve been single for 11.5 months and suddenly 2 days before X’mas you meet the boy/girl of your dreams. Will you remember 2008 as the year you spent 11.5 months at home on weekends or do you happily tell yourself that it was a good year afterall? If the boy/girl of your dreams came a week later (i.e. 2009) you would still have written off 2008 as a bad year and 2009 as a “good start” for many things good.

Example 3:
You lost your job, your car got stolen, your shoes got chewed on by your dog, your cat runs away etc etc … but on the 29th December you strike 1 million in lottery. You decide – good or bad year??

I could go on and on but I think you get the drift! So anyway, if I have to rate this year based on what’s happening towards the end of my year I must say I’ve had a super awesome 2008 and I’m looking forward to how things unfold in 2009. :-)
