So the New Year cometh

Wow! I am one lucky girl. I actually did get some stuff from my wish list which is pretty fabulous. I got some perfume (Hugo Femme - thanks mum!) and I got 5 books which I have pretty much devoured as I have read 4 of them already - but hey it was like someone gave a glass of water to someone who hadn't had a drink for a week - I couldn't help myself. Not to mention that the Twilight Saga was just such a good and easy read I had to continue till there was nothing left and I may re-read them very soon. I took my sister to the cinema on Boxing Day to watch Twilight the movie, probably not the best thing to do the day after reading the first two books but hey it was still enjoyable. I'm one of those people that, whilst I love the movies am always a little disappointed with how much of the detail in the writing has to be dropped to make a film but still very enjoyable. A little question for any of you who may have read the book and watched the movie, do you feel Edward should have glistened more in the sun? Oh well I still enjoyed it - in fact I loved it I just preferred the book. My imagination does a lot more with the information in a book than can be possible in a movie.

My brother who at 4 years older than me went through every obsession I had before he left home got me some of the most fantastic DVD's ever. The Blues Brothers (shake a tail feather baby), Red Sonja (Oh Yeah) and the movie that ignited a passion for the world of myth legend and fantasy now don't laugh..............Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the original) fabulous!!!!

.

Life is as hectic as ever which is great I don't have to go back to work until January 5th which is way too long yet when I'm back will not feel like long enough at all. If this sounds a little messy then i apologise - I am suffering from verbal diarrhea and you are getting the brunt of it. Like I said...Sorry.

.

I also had a phone call yesterday, my best friend is pregnant - its fab news she is so excited bless her, I am keeping everything i possess crossed because its really really early days and none of us are oblivious to all the things that can happen. I feel all excited, its a bit like I'm becoming an auntie!

.

So what are you up to for New Years? I haven't decided yet, little man is with his dad (urg - I hate it but lil man comes first and foremost and if Peter Pan wannabe feels like he can cope then who am I to stand in the way of a relationship being forged) Anyway, what I was saying was that little man is with his dad and Ive been invited to a party at a friends house. I have said no because I don't like the thought that my mum and sister will be sat in the lounge watching the countdown on TV alone, especially after they've helped me so much this year. Sooooooo we are contemplating going out - doing something a little different, Trafalgar square sounds good to me.

.

Anyway I am going to go now and probably wont get a chance to write until new year so, sorry for the babble, Have a great new years eve, kiss someone special at midnight and I will be wishing you all lots of fabulous things for 2009 xxx

Well Hello Stranger

So I have nothing wrapped, very little bought for little man compared to what my mum has got for him and I feel totally inadequate, my kid has taken to telling me he doesn't want a nasty mummy and wants a new mummy (I promise I am not nasty to him but to a four year old when mummy says no chocolate for breakfast or some such then I am a nasty mummy). He is now sharing a room with me at my mothers which quite frankly was cute at first but after urinating on my back three times in his sleep is no longer cute but rather bloody tiresome (particularly as he has barely if ever, wet the bed before..grrrrr) but all of that considered we have been doing well.

.

I am still working, the Christmas party last weekend was fabulous and I had no hangover, although I suppose the effects of the extraordinarily large quantities of Vodka REDBULL that I drank are only just starting to wear off. The only thing to rain on my parade is the upcoming first anniversary of 'I just don't love you the way a husband should'. A week and 3 days to be precise. It's scary. Nearly a whole year. Sometimes I look in the mirror and its like I'm watching a film of a girl who's looking in the mirror. Surreal.

.

We have had a few bumps all living together but its not too bad. When I need space I stick my headphones in turn the volume up on my iPod and blast some Good Charlotte or Boyzone (hmmm yes I think the word you're looking for is eclectic not weird!).

.

The highlight of my week has been the Christmas card I got from my fabulous Brother and his equally fabulous lady which was hand drawn and rather classily depicted a robot Santa saying HO HO HO. Just perfect for me and little man and exactly what I'd expect from those two crazy kids living the dream in America.

.

If I make a single resolution for next year it will be to life my life in such a way that makes me and those that love me proud.

.
