Where did the end of 2010 go?

I know the end of any year usually zips by pretty quick but I feel like it went too damn fast.  My last blog was October; the following weeks were spent...


My kitchen brilliance

- Making 5 Christmas cakes (Labour weekend is always booked for this) plus a mulitude of chocolate truffles as part of my 'gifts from the kitchen' theme. I reckon I could just about go into a sideline business for chocolate making!  Last year I gave a selection of relishes and sauces.  This years gift is already in the think tank.

- Taking in 2 concerts. Matt and I took Lincoln to U2, which was brilliant. I even enjoyed JayZ. It was the 3rd time I had seen U2 and this time was the best by far. The following weekend a couple of girlfriends and I went up to see Bon Jovi (though I seriously beleive Lisa only went to see Jon), which was another great event.




Tux 'n Chucks

- Enjoying warmer weather!  I think we were all well and truly over the cool weather and it was great to see the sun shining and being able to get out and
about a lot more.

- Seeing my son have his Year 6 leavers dance and finish primary school. The dance was themed 'Red Carpet, so we dressed Linc up in a 'Tux n Chucks'.  The last day of school was an emotional one (for me, not Lincoln!) and I knew I would cry at final assembly. The end of an era and the start of a new one.  Next year he will be at Maeroa; the same school I went to, which makes me feel just a tad old.

- Buying our house...WOOP WOOP!! We are now fully equiped with a small (but very effective) personal training studio and spray tanning room.  After over 12 months of looking, open homing and newspaper reading we have finally got a place to call 'ours'. Its fantastic and we love it!

Before you know it we were off to Wellington for another Christmas, too much cake, food and wine which leaves one craving exercise and a smaller waist line.  We welcomed in 2011 with a lot of celebration,and now its time to get cracking into the next set of goals!
