What a busy start to the year

Greetings from an incredibly busy individual. We're almost done with the second month of the year. Imagine that. Time flies....Thankfully no resolutions have been broken. The trick is to make NO resolutions at all. Regardless of how merry you may feel on new year's eve.Such a great silence on my part was greatly due to adjusting to greater responsibilities and entertaining self doubts on ability to do so. Thankfully, the self-doubting alter ego has been pushed ( firmly ) into the background and the usual up-beat optimistic self is back with a vengeance. HULLO Hulllo HULLO!!!

Books I've read since I last blogged:

1. Christmas at Fairacre ( by Miss Read )

2. Tender at the bone ( Ruth Reichl)

3. Ireland - in a glass of its own ( Peter Biddlecombe)

4. The godmother ( amanda brookfield )

5.The lover ( amanda brookfield)

6. Single lives ( amanda brookfield)

7. Shopaholic and baby ( Sophie kinsella)

New exciting things in life

1. 20 inch LCD TV plastered firmly on the wall in the hall.

2. The resurrection of the ole violin and with it painful lessons with many new notes to learn

3.New MP4 player....( functions yet to be learnt)

4. Acquired=One new fangled lamp of dubious aesthetic value..stashed neatly in the hall.

Painful things which have occured so very fast in the year

1. Credit card maxed out on self.

2. Living on a budget as a result of reason number (1)

3.In a moment of weakness promising self...to give up buying trashy mags.
