Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!!! Best wishes for a great one! :)
Last night I went to a party at my friend, Thea's house. We watched some comedy shows and the Sydney fireworks on Tv, had pizza and sat around talking. But around 10pm, we realised how tired we all were! A few years ago, when we'd just turned 18, I guess New Years (aka, drinking, doing stupid things) seemed like the most exciting thing in the world. (Not that I ever drink, or do anything stupid like that, but some people did.) Now we have responsibilities, jobs to go to, and some of us have babies and fiances. Even the fireworks aren't that exciting anymore. It makes me feel old to realise most of us are turning 23 this year! We were asleep by about 2am. I still woke up at 7am though- my body seems to automatically do that, these past few months! The sun comes up, and my eyes open. It didn't help that Alice and Charlie (Thea's poodles) kept trying to jump on me- I like them when I'm sitting or standing, but when I'm lying on the floor they're kind of intimidating! I'm used to smaller pets. The result is that I'm cranky, tired, and emotional today from lack of sleep. I think that's another reason I don't really like New Years. I'm not a party girl, I don't cope well when I'm tired, Christmas is definitely over, and right now the year ahead just seems kind of daunting. My head hurts. I sound kind of emo LOL. Maybe it's from wearing black last night? But Cassie said I'm about the furthest thing from an emo LOL, which is good to know. I actually ended up coming home today wearing pajamas and high heels. Well enough rambling, I guess we just have to have faith, and trust that things will be ok. We are blessed for the love we have in our lives.
