and we did in fact stay up late enough to 'see it in' properly! for the first time in years i had someone special to kiss at midnight - well worth the wait...
otherwise it was a reasonably low key evening, which has been followed by an equally low key day, mainly coz we didn't even get up til 11am...
tidied up the study, which i've been intending doing for ages! sorted out the music for my party - turns out my mp3 does in fact have a shuffle function - something i only discovered when i went onto google (gotta love google - in fact i wonder what i did before i discovered it...) and typed in the model number of my mp3 and shuffle function - turns out it has WAY more functions than i knew about - probably coz i didn't read the very abridged manual that came with it when i got it...
haven't yet been through my wardrobe - that might be a job for tomorrow or monday - altho tomorrow i am hellbent on going into town and scouring the two jb hifi shops for more dvd's to add to our already growing collection...
the study looks good! can see the floor - it looks way bigger than it has for months (xmas presents from about october onwards was a big reason that it looked like a bombsite) - it's clean - all the books i have bought in the last 5 months are no longer just thrown in piles - they now all have a home - there is even a shelf i have been able to clear for benny's growing pile of books! admittedly books are NOT one of his addictions but he is starting a collection...
i'm still wondering where to put my painting - oh yes, i haven't mentioned my painting! it's my 40th next week and my mum and dad decided to give me my gift whilst i was home at xmas - it's beautiful - it's an original acrylic painting done by a canberra based artist and i LOVE it - big risk buying art for someone as it's such a personal thing, but my mum was right in thinking i'd love it - i can't decide where to put it - obviously i want it somewhere i can see it, a lot!
did i mention that i love being on holidays? well, seriously, who doesn't? anyway, haven't been at work since 23rd dec (just a little over a week) but i feel good: happy, relaxed, content with pottering around my lovely little home and beginning to wonder if work would pay me not to turn up? guess it's out of the question which is why i was sure to remind benny to buy a ticket in this weekends $30m lotto draw - as i said to him on our walk yesterday, i would be happy with $300k - we don't need $30m, hell we don't even need $3m, and in reality we don't need $300k but it would help us fast forward to where we want to be this time next year...
and don't get me wrong, i am absolutely not wishing time away, just pondering how our circumstances may be a wee bit different if we had a windfall...
on that note...bonsoir xx
