So on this last day of 2012 I thought I’d do a bit of a retrospective of the year
January saw me make a heap of resolutions. I kept a few (journal every day) and didn’t keep others (like do Habit Hacker). I finally joined the Goddess Circle and think it’s one of the best investments I’ve made. Mum & Dad lost the second of their 2 dogs to cancer. Started doing a Project Life album for Miss K. Mum & Dad celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. We bought a house! Admittedly it’s the house we were renting from my parents but still….
In February I did lots of planning for our upcoming trip to Melbourne. We started cleaning the garage. Miss K was a hit with the footy players at the Hawks season launch in Tassie. Miss K turned 2! Where has my baby gone? Mum held an Afternoon Teal raising funds for Ovarian Cancer awareness. Cake decorating is turning out to be a bit of a thing for me lol Getting a bit addicted to Chef’s Toolbox cookware.
March – a pretty quiet month. AFL player Jim Stynes passed away. Went to Hobart to visit bro b4 his big trip OS. Left for Melbourne: DPCON12 here I come! DPCON – OMG what an amazing day. Learnt so much. Wentto my first Bloggers BBQ
April – still in Melbourne for a few days after DPCON. Caught up with some family. Made choc chip hot cross buns for the first time. I got a tweet on screen during Q&A (sad I know lol). Miss K moved to a single bed. Helped run a quiz night for Tassie Hawks Supporter Group. My 6 year blogoversary.
May – I opened my Instacanv.as gallery. Checked out the Harvest Market in Launceston for the first time. My Grandmother (on Dad’s side) passed away. Dungeons & Dragons playtest. Started painting the kitchen
June – Started a new blog. Went away for a few days to Shearwater. Got food poisoning. Never want that again! Our kitchen got tiled. Nearly finished – just need new flooring & curtains. Miss K got to see her first real frost. Played with Windows 8 preview. Qld won rugby State of Origin. Buddy Franklin kicked his 500th goal.
July was super quiet. Lots of footy watching, staying warm and then catching a cold.
August saw us get an addition to our cat run, ordered a heat pump and bought new iPads. One of the rellies visited from New Zealand.
September and I started The Organised Housewife’s 20 days to organised challenge. Got the new Amanda Palmer album. We got our heat pump installed. Started to wean Miss K. Jobe Watson won the Brownlow. Hawks made the finals and lost to Sydney by 10 points. Gutted!
In October I gave Frocktober a go. A dress everyday is a big thing for me (I hardly wear dresses). All for a great cause. Watched the Peter Crimmins medal stream. Gee Josh Gibson looks good in a suit. Got new laptops. Connected to the NBN
November – loving playing with full version of Windows 8. Obama elected to second term in office in US election. Worked out how to make Scottish tablet in microwave. Mum got a thermomix, would so love one. Got vinyl in kitchen, laundry & sunroom. Caught up with an old friend I haven’t seen in years. Took Miss K to Launceston Christmas parade. Loved it & got a cuddle from Santa.
December – Lots of prep for hosting Christmas lunch here. Started potty training K (again). Going well so far. Went to a Thermomix demo party. Really want one now. Started the Tassie Bloggers List. Closed the blog I started in June. Miss K had a Santa photo at Myer. Christmas celebrations. Miss K got a summer cold. Bringing in the New Year at home. Hubby and mates playing Doctor Who RPG. Me most likely on Twitter.
Hope your 2012 was great and that 2013 will be awesome!!
