Bring on 2009!!!

I am so excited that it is the last day of 2008- I will be very glad to see the back of this year and I am really looking forward to seeing what 2009 will bring! Mr S and I were just going to stop in for New Year but his parents have asked us to go over to theirs for dinner so that is what we shall be doing! I hope that you all have a very Happy New Year's Eve and that 2009 is a good year all round. I have decided on my final list of New Year's Resolutions and they are as follows:

1. Make a start on the book- I think I have it all worked out in my head now so it is time to get it down on paper. I am going to try and be quite disciplined about it and write everyday.
2. Try and swear less (very un-ladylike).
3. Drink less diet coke.
4. Take part in a charity run/walk.
5. Eat more vegetables and fruit and just green things in general.
6. To try and learn to handle stressful situations more (This is more for Mr S' benefit).

I shall let you know how I am getting on in the New Year!!

Music to my ears!

This is going to sound really bizarre but I feel like I have just remembered how much I love music! I used to listen to music ALL the time and I just kind of stopped taking a real interest in it. I think this is partly due to moving in with Mr S, he does not stop me from listening to music before you worry but I think that I just tended to listen to what he put on. I have listened to so much music today and it has really done me good to play the songs that have real meaning to me; those songs that bring back memories or trigger an emotion. I think that it could really help with my writing as well so I think that one of my new year's resolutions is going to be to keep up my interest and make sure I listen to more of what I like! My other resolutions so far are:

• Stop drinking as much diet coke
• Take part in a charity walk/run (run may be being a bit optimistic!)
• Lose some weight
• Eat more fruit and vegetables (I don't really eat any at the moment)
• Train Alfie to sit and come (this should be interesting)
• Sleep more
