New Year, Same Old Shit

09Jan09

…. and we’re back. With dots.

* I got two weeks off work and it was awesome but it now feels like it never happened. I’ve got my old boss back, which is wonderfully yay, because the tempa-boss was driving me mental, but it’s a bit of a more-things-change type deal. Same old, same old.

* I did my first Christmas dinner and I have to say it was a wonderful success. The whole turkey thing was scary as buggery but the bird came out perfectly cooked and wonderfully moist. I do wish someone has thought to tell me about how they tuck the neck up inside the bird though – nothing quite as squicky as finding a cold, hard, penis-type thing in what you assumed would be a nice empty stuffing hole. And then having to BREAK IT OFF and PULL IT OUT.

* I made no resolutions for 2009 but I’m thinking of joining a gym. It probably won’t happen – hasn’t so far – but I have been good all week and been taking packed, healthy lunches to work and only given in to the chocolate craving-monster twice. Which sounds like a lot but I was premenstrual this week, so it’s actually somewhat of an achievement.

* Certain people who I am very used to gabbing with over the internet while at work have been on holidays all week. And I’ve really quite missed them. I suspect my boss thinks I’m batty as I keep nattering to her about anything and everything. Come back, MissB, or I will surely be fired for the crazy.

* Last night I made a curry from scratch. It was tasty and made of win. This makes me awesome.

* Things I hate (as of the last 5 minutes): Tom Cruise, Numbers, The Biggest Loser. Why am I watching Channel Ten on a Friday night, you ask, given I never watch real TV anymore? Law & Order. New Law & Order with Elton from Clueless has become strangely crack-like for me this past week. I watched five episodes on Sunday and then I had some pretty freaky nightmares. As you do. I’ve not loved the show this much since Lenny.

* I got a JB HiFi gift card for Christmas and it made me feel like the biggest, filthiest criminal, because I realised I am now slightly confused and repulsed by the thought of paying money for music, movies or TV shows. I’m sorry, bands I love. I really, really am.

* Speaking of, given I got gift cards from pretty much everyone for Christmas, I’m thinking of sending thank you notes so that people know what they bought me. ‘Dear MIL, thank you for my new stick mixer. It’s made pumpkin soup a delight and taken my already-awesome mashed potatoes to a whole new level of fluffy!’ But then I went and used a gift-card I got from a work supplier I’ve never met on a new bra, and that seemed a little … oversharey.

And even I’m not *that* oversharey.

So, how you all doing?
