i tried to come up with 10 notable happenings for myself or my family this past year. i didn't make it, which probably means i should be getting out of the comfort zone a bit more in 2010. here are my picks nevertheless:
- early in the new year we farewelled our gorgeous bunny anzac. it was agonising to see him sick and making the fateful decision was awful but his eventual end was peaceful and his farewell was tender
- i sent my first born overseas on a school trip. never before had he been so far away or for so long. i think it was a wonderful experience for him and it led to his first girlfriend.
- that might make me a first time mother-in-law
- we welcomed bella bunny as well as friendly rodents george and frank
- the family suffered the great flu of 2009. i escaped with a mild dose but i nursed some very sick kids
- i spent a night in hospital for the first time in ten years and had my first antibiotics in ten years. then i took enough to last the next twenty.
- a family trip to theme park central, the gold coast, reminded me how much i hate theme parks
- i went on my second ever girls weekend away
- and.......TA DAHHH!!
made my first ever video upload.
this is an unscripted greeting
My wish for you is that 2010 is more than you hope for
HAPPY NEW YEAR
enormous thanks to my liam for his technical expertise on this one, you didnt think i did it, did you?
I'm over New year type "celebrations" --- years ago.
ReplyDeleteThat people get drunk,get arrested for all sorts of misconduct,that governments spend small fortunes on fireworks that are just streaks of light across the sky is to me pointless. "Celebrating" man made division of time show we know nothing about time which is like gravity or magnetism... onfathomable.
Oh, there must be lots of other notable happenings, you've just temporarily forgotten them. A night in hospital, eeek, I've never stayed in hospital and hope I never have to, they're dangerous places.
ReplyDeleteYay for that spectacular Aussie voice. I can do an Aussie voice too, so there.
Happy New Year Kylie, I hope it includes at least 30 notable and totally amazing happenings!
You would not believe how upset I am right now that I'm at work and can't listen to this....
ReplyDeleteI say (again) - I'll be baaaaack!
Happy New Year and blessings to you and all your family, bestest Kylie!
Haven't celebrated in years, really. Besides, I'm working the night anyway :(
ReplyDeleteFun video and couldn't resist watching the puppy! Was waiting for that sarny to disappear, heh, heh...
Peace and happiness in the coming year, kylie :)
Oh, man!!! You are so freaking ADORABLE!!! Thanks for posting that!!! Now I need to go back and read your post, LOL.
ReplyDeleteKylie, you just made my new year's eve. It was wonderful to really see you. You are just beautiful, what a smile and laugh.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!
xoxo Leah
dad,
ReplyDeleteits true that our way of celebrating can leave something to be desired but it is neccessary to celebrate the passage of time. more to the point, to have a point where we can think of a fresh start. it's symbolic, of course, but symbolism is important.
also,i think we use all kindsof times and events to consider a fresh start but this universal one is good in that it is shared
happy new year, you grumpy old codger :)
happy new year to you, too, nick
ReplyDeleteyou might "do" an aussie voice but mine's the real deal :)

I enjoyed seeing you and hearing you. I loved the accent.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you lost Anzac. I've had rabbits. They're more vulnerable than dogs, but also more innocent in a way--or at least they look more innocent since they don't seem to relish fighting (usually) and killing or eating other animals.
