Christmas has come and gone and new years is like just over a day away...... Kinda makes you wonder where all the time went :P

Well i guess i could say i spent most of my time buggerising around and working :P Now tho its hols so im relishing the time ive earnt to bludge :D

Went to the flicks a few weeks ago to see the much anticipated Eragon and must say i was somewhat dissappointed :( Like it was okaaaaaay BUT like all other things the book is soooooooo much better! Read the book then wait til it comes on tv if you really want to see it, dont think id want to part with my 15 bux on a movie like that again!! (Or is that just me being ultra cheap ;) )
Still the day more than made up for it by all the shopping i managed to do :D it was Christmas after all and well believe it or not i actually enjoyed my time!

I also went to a concert at the Con to see Passion, for those who dont know it was music that you would hear in games such as Final Fantasy, Alladin, SuperMario bros the list goes on. I managed to score free tix too seeing as a friend of bro was performing in it! I must say i actually enjoyed myself not totally knowing what to expect. Music was played by 5 brilliant musos plus 2 guest artists.
I so want to go to the next concert A Night in Fantasia: Symphony Games Edition and the other one Night in Fantasia: Symphonic Anime edition. Should be good.

After concert finished we traipsed outside only to hear the ending of Carols in the Domain and our bus was bombarded with carolers making the trek home :P We got home safe and sound tho and boy was i buggered!! LIterally crashed on my bed knowing i had to get up early the following day for a social with Sunday school kiddies!!

Probably because of my excitement i woke up early despite black rings round my eyes :P We took the kids ice skating and boy did we have fun!! There were a few spills and sore backsides by the end but ahhhhhh ice skating is soooooooo cool!

OH that reminds me im now in advanced level!! HEHE i was supposed to be in Intermediate 2 but heck our coach tested us on both Int 1 & 2 *sigh* i thought i wasnt ready but hey i passed. Just hope i dont stack it more often now ;)

Since then havent really done much. This week i also dont plan on doing much cos mission is practically upon us and err well guess i better start on some things. Dont get me wrong i have started just hmm well i always say il get things done earlier so im not stressing the day before but i reckon i work better when im stressing teehee im a glutton for punishment!!

Well im off to do what i dont know but hope all is well with the world and in case i dont see ya, have a great NEW YEARS!!
BTW wonder what is behind the question mark on the bridge?!?!?!

That time of year again...

Well thought id write and let people know wats been happening especially as people do seem interestd :P

So its that time of year again when...
*work winds down (Yay) but when you do work the kids just cant be bothered (Poo)
*you go out only to find tots are screaming cos their folks said no! to something or other
*the movies are filled to the brim with teenage kids who cannot sit still and watch the pictures in silence
*you stand in a shop and think for wat seems like eons about wat to get someone and go home empty handed
*walking into any shop theers a carol playing and chances are youve just heard it in the last shop you entered
*you're told to wrap up pressies only to find theres no tape... ANYWHERE!!

Such is teh yearly Christmas ritual that we've come to know. But i wonder... How many people in this world stop and think about why we really celebrate Christmas?? The little babe in a manger that changed the world for many. It is because of him that i am a believer. And it is because of that faith that i was baptised last Sunday night. It was a nerve wracking experience for some reason. The water was warm and under i went, but i was shaking nonethetheless. Stage fright perhaps.
So yay my folks came to church to watch me baptised, a rare treat indeed they never go to church unless soemthing important comes along like weddings and baptisms. Praise God they were able to come!!

A few weeks ago i completed my 5 week block with a year 5 class and seriously i absolutely had a ball. I miss the routine and the kids but it is nice to have the days off during the week when i can spoil myself ;) Only two weeks left before im officially on holidays...

Mission prep has once again taken hold of me, im looking forward to it in some ways yet at the same time a bit hmm hesitant in others?? God knows how it will go so i will continue to trust in Him.

Ice skating has been going brilliant, im still nowhere near as good Torvill though :P still, im learning new skills every week. This week its test week, not sure whether il pass but hey as long as i have fun right!?! But POO found a scratch on my skates!! GRRRRR!

Havent done much in the way of arty stuff... well maybe i have :P today spent some time making Xmas decos for the tree, making pressie for mum. Have not touched my painting for yonks, nor my drawing for that matter... Cross stitch has been coming along in dribs and drabs. Completed a collage using free postcards collected during the days of uni ;) and i must say i think it looks pretty good!! See, i knew those postcards would come in handy on day! :P

Finally caught up with a dear friend outside of Cowra :P enjoyed a scrumptious meal too but was left somewhat overfed afterwards, eyes must be bigger than stomach. That and coupled with not eating properly during the last few days simply cos i cant be bothered!

Things im looking forward to this hols:
*catching up with others whom i havent seen in a while
*seeing movies! yes even those teens wont stop me from seeing Eragon!!
*SWIMMING!!
*SUN!
*Sleep ins!
*Being an only kid for a while, bro will be overseas...
*Christmas lunch, more apple sauce for me!!

Things im not looking forward to...
* having no one to annoy on Xmas day ie my bro ;) yes as the bubs in the family i still get to do that :P
*being told to get out of bed when i dont want to
*all those people in the shops
*painting/drawing then getting bored
*reading and getting bored
*being creative and getting bored
*knowing hols are only for so long and theres work afterwards
*knowing summer isnt here to stay :(
*knowing theres not much good on the telly to watch on those quiet nights, not that i watch telly much anymore

Anyhoo id best be off, i stayed up till the wee hours of the morning (245am) finishing off a book cos i simply could not put it down and now im suffering teh consequences! So to beddy byes it is for me..
Ciao peoples...
