Two days til the New Year. My gratitude jar is waiting to help remember all the good things to come – looking back on this year I hope next year just as wonderful. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had some crap this year - I don’t blog or facebook that stuff, it’s not all sunshine and roses but the good times certainly helps us focus.
I’m currently spending my days balancing family, a little work, a whole lot of socialising, the occasional internal battle about when to stop eating the chips n dip and start eating more salad. At the moment it’s the chip n dip that are winning.
You will notice my blog go a little quiet over the next little while – I will have some fun CHA pages and projects to share closer to the middle of January, but for now I’m doing the sensible thing.
I’m investing my time in some of this:
(Sunset Drive street party, 23rd December… love these people!)
And I’ll be taking time out to partake in a little bit of this:

There will most certainly be some of this:
And some of this for sure:
(poor Jess on the receiving end of Abby’s liquid enthusiasm)
I’ll admit there has been lots of this:
(and I’ll also even admit that I plan more of it – perhaps not the lap dance part, sorry Paul, but the drinks with friends part…)
But most of all, and the reason you might see me go a little quiet for a while in this gorgeous summer holiday time of mine is this:
Gorgeous little cherubs, huh? I’m sure many of you are doing the same. Computer is being put aside – enjoy your holidays.
Laters
Enjoy nic :)
