Been having a lot of fun on Facebook lately and am feeling slightly guilty for giving it so much time when my sweet little PB page is so neglected.
Facebook is phenomenal. I really think it's an amazing tool for reconnection. And a lot of crap-sharing. Do people really need to know that I think it's ridiculous that hot cross buns are already on the shelves of the grocery store???
The funny thing is that there are total strangers wanting to join the group I created "Hot Cross Buns should be sold on Good Friday only". What makes people want to join a group like that? What makes people want to let everyone else know that they lost their shoes/are doing the ironing/are going skiiing/baked a pie...? (I'd want to know who baked a pie as long as I lived close enough to get to eat it).
So what happened in 2008? Apart from 'growing up'?
- I visited my beautiful friend J., in Hobart, easily my most favourite place in Australia.
- Saw Rufus TWICE
- Went into marriage therapy
- Went on my first romantic holiday with my husband (see 'marriage therapy')
- Taught myself how to film and edit a short movie
- Cried a lot
- Laughed some
- Reconnected with old friends
- Healed some old wounds
- Picked the scabs off a lot of others to discover they were nice and shiny with scars and not still bleedy (gross, but accurate analogy)
- Said good-bye to my brother's former life formally and welcomed his new one by baking lots of delicious cupcakes with my wonderful friend, C.
- Won a team award at work
- Won an individual award at work
- Made people laugh
- Tried to keep breathing
Goals for 2009:
- To be a better friend to my husband
- To be a better friend to my kids - have more 'Dad' time with them instead of just 'Angry Mum' moments
- To really figure out if I want to move my family to Portland
- To try and get a handle on my financial karma
- To keep staying 'grown up'
That's it for now.
Love yas all!

I agree, PB rocks, FB, well, its okay but I like the limited readership here, makes me feel special, like you are just writing for us xx. You really had a remarkable 2008, glad I was theer for the ride.
