Day 1 - A New Year Begins...

So I have deceided to start another 365 day bloggy...I feel with blogging it needs to be all or nothing for me, so if I don't do it daily, I would probably only last 3 months max. 365 days is a serious commitment *breaking out into song*...so here I go againnnnnnnnnnnnn...

Last night I had my first ever civilized NYE at my fave Japanese Restaurant Sono, along the river at Portside with some of my besties - Matt, Steve, Mim and Kate. Terry, Kate's hubs was sadly on a plane back from South Africa, but was there in spirit, along with my angel Kath who sent a photo of her with vino in hand at her family doo. We were sure to keep her in the loop by sending pics throughout the night!! LOL

It was such a fabulous evening. The food was nothing short of exceptional and we had a very enjoyable mix of drinks - Sake, Shochu and Wine. Everyone knows my love affair with Japan, so seriously, I was in my element this NYE, it took me back to my 08/09 NYE when I was actually in Tokyo celebrating.

After dinner we were joined by two other friends Anthony and Fiona, who had also had a really low-key evening in West End. When midnight hit we all went along the river to enjoy a gorgeous fireworks display. Was awesome to have them so close.

Then the first thing we did in 2011 together was enjoy some delicious Movenpick. Yeah, amazing. Life is good and I am so happy, lucky and blessed.

My Legs Eleven Ressies:

1) Read 6 books MINIMUM. #morereadinglesstweeting

2) Continue to "shop from home" (thanks for the term Junks) and use up all my stuff.

3) Learn to cook more veggo/vegan meals.

4) Make more time for exercise in my life.

5) Plan my outfits the night before for work, so it's not such a scramble in the morning, and lowers my frustration with my boring wardrobe.

6) Stop being such an effing hoarder and "let go" of copious amounts of stuff - magazines, clothes, bits and bobs that I just don't need...it's time to go you lot, you're cramping my style!! This will also help with keeping the place tidier as I won't have piles of useless stuff clogging up the place. LOL

7) Move over to using organic/vegan products.

8) Host more dinner parties - I really need to put my Gordon's and Doulton's to WAY more use.

9) Try and get my thumb to become more greener and staying on top of the weeds and palm fronds that are the bane of my existence and actually plant my pots!! LOL

10) Get up earlier.
