New Year

Apparently nicorettes are one of the highest selling products from chemists at this time of year.

It's all the new years resolutions, you see. I didn't make one. In fact on NYE, I had a delightful time - I ate tender, delicious, rare roasted kangaroo with crispy-edged baked potatoes, and drank an enormous amount of pink champagne, and gobbled strawberries and chocolate ice cream. I chatted with a couple of friends and my honey, and enjoyed their company, and listened to music, and sat outside on a gorgeous Hobart terrace with candles lit and fireworks popping and crackling in the distance.

It was divine.

I was unconscious by 10-30pm.

Ah well, you get that. And I had a fantastic night of cheerful indulgence. Yum. So I didn't really make a resolution. An 8am flight makes it the last thing on your mind on New Year's Day. Mine's just an ongoing one - to exercise 2-3 times a week, and lay off the sweeties and stuff a bit. Yah, just a bit. Bugger eschewing them completely - life is too short. But I've got my cute little calligraphy calendar up on the wall, and I've bought me a packet of gold stars, and I'm giving myself a star for every day that I exercise.

So far I've got 4. Not bad considering one day out of this year's 9 so far included a hangover and an interstate flight, and another included plasma donation ("now, you won't exercise for 24 hours, will you dear?"). Yay me! Though I've had 2 Heaven ice creams so far this week already. Oops. Ah well. I did say "just a bit", didn't I? *phew*

If you have enough gold stars, the ice-creams will just be fuel... Well done, you!

Gold stars? Excellent idea! Maybe I'll get some bronze stars too for my "ice cream days". Or, cut the gold star in half to indicate effort. :-p

Just came by to say hello and Happy New Year!
