Happy New Year!
Granted, a day late. But never mind!
It's been awhile since I last blogged, and really I'm sure there's heaps to say but it doesn't really come to mind all at once. It's really hot and I think I am supposed to be going to the beach sometime soon, so I'll just keep my phone here so I can stay posted on what's actually happening. Hmm, time for a bit of a recap of important things, I feel.
Christmas Eve: We went caroling, which is possibly my favourite thing to do at Christmas. We went and visited people from church and sang carols and generally had a very fun night. Then Mirjam, Mum and I went to midnight mass at the Catholic church. We're not Catholic, but Mirjam is, and I personally found it very cool. Tiring, though, coz midnight mass is named so because it actually starts at midnight!
Christmas Day: A service in the morning where I actually sang - I got rather nervous so it was actually a little dodgy but I'm sure everyone was so full of Christmas spirit that they didn't really mind my awful singing. We said goodbye to our officers - they're moving on, and they left on the 30th but Christmas Day was the last time I saw them. Lunch at my aunts, then dinner at our neighbours. Present highlight: guitar pick holder that attaches to my guitar. Absolute brilliance, thank you Phillipa and Rob! Very nice day, but I have to admit I was pretty shattered - nap between lunch and dinner. Such an old lady.
Boxing Day and the next: Shopping. Got myself a hair straightener, the DVD of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and blue hairdye.
Day after that: Went into town with Fi. Bought a CD, realised I had no money left, ran into people from uni all over the place, then went home and dyed my hair blue. Watched chick flicks with Mirjam and Char.
Day after that: We went to Strawberry Fare for dessert as a family. Very entertaining. First outing with blue hair, many stares. Good food.
Day after that: Mirjam's farewell shindig. People coming and going all night. Many tears.
New Years Eve: We saw Mirjam off at the airport, even more tears. Then went home to clean the house and had a party for New Years Eve, which was actually a lot of fun. About 15 of us, hung out, played games, ate lots, fireworks, general hanging out... a nice way to end 2005.
I'll leave it at that. Adios!

Blue hair ... Oh, I'm jealous. Tell you what, we can do mine when I come in July ;) (well, hopefully come in July). Though I don't know what Chris would think. Maybe a nice auburn instead ...
Sounds like you had a lovely Christmas :) mine was pretty cool too. Did you get my card btw?
