Happy New Year!
Our NYE was just like any other day really, Oli had to work but he was finishing up just after lunch. So whilst we were waiting for him we mucked about in our pjs watching cartoons all morning, until I decided - fuck it- it's New Years, and we have no plans so lets get dressed up for the hell of it... But it was mostly just because I had a lot of time to kill before he got home & was bored shitless. So after half-assedly shaving my legs whilst B was sifting through my draws & bringing me my lingerie into the shower (opening the door and saying "ta" and all), we ended up scrubbing up quite nicely. I even managed to squeeze into an old number that I thought I would have had no chance in, so that was my confidence boost for the day.
I picked up this dress for Blake when I was pregnant with her at an op shop back home, so friggen cute, look at her checking herself out;
And this is what a highly uncomfortable outfit looks like;
I felt great for all of the ten minutes that I wore it. Long enough for Oli to arrive home & give me a wolf whistle & a smooch anyway. I also loved how my heels miraculously gave my legs shape again, wondrously hideously painful things aren't they?
They were the first to come off.
After all our dress up excitement, we got changed into appropriate gears and met up with some mates for a bite & a beer (water) in Fremantle. It was weird as everyone was just hanging out chatting like the day was nothing out of the ordinary. All the other patrons were much the same, the only way you could tell it was a special occasion was from the odd bunches of balloons scattered about. Seems as though NYE 2013 was universally dull, which made me feel much better about our plans to retire to bed well before midnight..
After that we ended up at home playing cards by candlelight & watching trashy re-runs on telly.
Oli did bust out the giant sparklers before bed though, which was hilarious as we felt so lame we couldn't stop laughing;
Post-fireworks extravaganza, it was 9pm & we were fading fast. Strangely (thankfully), our street was eerily quiet so it created the perfect ambience for an early night in, why not eh?
Blake mustn't have been feeling the NYE spirit either as it was the first night in I can't even remember how long that she slept through!!
Right through! 7-6! Hallelujah is all I have to say.
New Years Day was spent lazing about at home all morning, we are currently trying the methods from our new 'save our sleep' book & it requires a bit of nap training. Which by the way- seems to be working, woohoo! So whilst B napped away I whipped up a gourmet feast;
Bang on the money.
Following up her 2 hr sleep (yeah I did write that with a grin on my face, god I've missed those), we headed off to meet up with Blakes best pal Bailey and her parentals who were down by the river taking out the boat..
We spent a few glorious hours down there chatting & chasing down the girls. Blake really doesn't sympathise with my condition, I barely get to sit down for 60 seconds at any given time.
Later on we decided we couldn't be bothered cooking, and we had completed our original goal of no KFC for 3 weeks sooooo.....
Yum.
And now I'm going to try a month without it, it definitely makes it a lot more enjoyable when it's spaced out.
Funnily, Oli said the line was huge there- seems like many people don't start their reso's on the 1st! Hangovers have a mind of their own I think...
And that's a wrap! I somehow just managed to make a post out of us not doing much at all over those two days?
Today will be my first day at the gym for the year, and my first sugar free day for the year. Ill share some of my NY reso's with you all in the next post... I'm rather excited about them!
Hope you all are feeling sprightly-
Thought of the day "I just want to read my book & drink tea all day"
