right?
better late than never? and with a twist...
so rather than talk about the 2011 year that was, i thought i'd
instead talk about the 2nd year since the big breakup, and i'm not dwelling on
the breakup but since it happened on Australia Day, it's hard to forget...
that said, this time last year i was sad, unsure, lost and
frankly not in a great place...
by contrast, this year i am happy (for the most part), CERTAIN
and feel as though i have found that part of me i lost whilst with Ben and in
the recovery phase...so all good!
typically i would do the month by month review but as that will
require me looking thru earlier blog posts, it's probably not gonna
happen...not tonight anyway, so here's some of the things that are memorable to
me:
- had my eyes lasered (one of the best things i've ever done)
- took myself to hong kong before i started work for a wee
bit of retail therapy
- oh yes, took a full time job! (didn't see that coming this
time last year...)
- shelved the business initially with some regret, but now,
couldn't be happier, and it will always be there if i want to go back to
it
- continued to spend more time with my precious girlfriends
- finally got my french kitchen (well worth the wait)
- took another great writing course at the NSW Writers Centre
- did my first ever NaNoWriMo and successfully completed
50,000 words in one month
- continued with my novel even after NaNo finished...as at
today, still have a little over 30,000 words to go
- breathed a big sigh of relief when my mum was told the
surgeries were successful and a mastectomy was not required
- breathed another sigh of relief when i survived my first
mammogram which came back showing nothing...phew
- enjoyed
- saw Sachin for probably the last time at the SCG, and even
though he didn't get that coveted 100th international 100, he is the best
batsman to watch
- managed to get Chris out of my life and importantly, out of
my head (it took some time, but i think we are there)
- discovered a lovely little costume jewellery store in
Paddington (Tessarella House) and had my 43rd birthday tea there with some
special girlfriends
- oh and booked my next trip to
not sure if i've missed anything, but they are my
highlights!
