Year of the Rooster
First Up, Happy New Year all!
Ah, 2005, a heady year. Probably my “biggest” year to date, which is saying something, given last year’s foray into The Marriage and returning home from several years in Japan.
So what were Kinki’s Highlights for 2005?
- Getting Up the Duff. This entailed help from McG, but he made a jolly good showing of it.
- Buying a House. This entailed being dicked around by The Bank, who also made a good showing of that.
- Getting a promotion at the same Bank.
- Our getaway to North Queensland in October. To get away from the House and the Bank. But not the Up-the-Duff bit.
- Realising what a great life I have, a fabulous Husband, a funny little person swishing around in my womb, who I can’t wait to meet, a Job I really enjoy and although there are heaps of things that need to be done on the House, a cosy little spot full of character (and rotten stumps… ahem) in the inner ‘burbs.
- Keeping this blog up-to-date. I thought I’d most certainly ditch it when I came back from Japan, but I’m so glad my narcisistic, self-indulgent side prevented me from doing so. Yes, it may be boring compared to the J-Years, but it’s my corner of the blog world and I love it…
and where to from here?
2006 is most certainly gonna compete with 2005 for Biggest Year Award. I’m gonna pop/squeeze/poop out MiniMc in a few weeks and the next year (an entire year off work!!!) is going to be caring for the little munchkin. There will be laughter, there will be tantrums, I may even put my head in a fully-loaded toilet and flush it to remind myself that things could be worse. But it will all be so worth it. Big Changes. BIG.
Huge.
Can’t wait…
Husband has done an infinitely better wrap-up of 2005, so go check out his post
