Snow

I probably should have posted this on Monday but never mind.....

It was lovely to wake up on Monday to find that I was going to have a white birthday.  It's not quite the same as a white Christmas but it was still fun.

Being as I work in an office all by myself most of the time, not many people said happy birthday to me during the day but I did keep checking on Facebook and my friends had posted birthday greetings, so that was great.

Then in the evening, I went over to Mum & Dad's for dinner and my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew came over too.  We had shepherd's pie and Hawaiian Suprise for dessert.  YUM.

I got home in time to watch "Miranda" so that was good too.

Glee

I didn't manage to see the first episode of the new series of "Glee" on Sunday, so I'm sitting here with it on now.  Please excuse me if I get a bit distracted .......  Oooh, it's turned into "Fame".

My pet insurance paid up for the claim I made after Minx got a grass blade stuck in his throat, so that was great; especially as I've had other big expenses recently having to get new brakes and tyres for my car and a new pair of glasses. 

It's no good - I know I'm a woman but I can't multitask while watching "Glee", so I'm going to end this blog entry and enjoy the show.

New Year - New Jo

I think we all start out the New Year with lots of 'new' plans and resolutions but if you are anything like me, they always seem to be the same New Year Resolutions as last year. This year I've decided to make New Month Resolutions; I started this idea last year and it worked really well.  I found they were easier to keep than trying to work out what I wanted to resolve to do for a whole year.

Last year was quite a strange year for me with having been made redundant in April and having had two boyfriends by the end of the year (unfortunately it didn't work out) so I am looking forward to finding out what 2013 has in store.  Hopefully though not another redundancy! However, it would be nice to find a long term man this year but I'm not holding my breath - maybe I'm a little too selfish and set in my ways but maybe God has other ideas?

It would be nice if I could extend my work skill set this year and learn better Excel and/or Powerpoint skills.  Plus I'm hoping if I am able to continue with blogging on a more regular basis, I may pick up some Wordpress experience as well. 

Welcome back

I thought it might be a good idea to start blogging again, so I thought I would see if I could still use my old Blogspot account and it seems I can.  Minx is sitting on me at the moment, so it would be easier to add a longer Blog later!

But in the meantime, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
