I’m attempting to take photo every day this year and I thought I’d share them with you on my blog each week. I’m by no means a photographer but hopefully these posts become something I can look back on and remember 2010 by. :)

• Friday January 1st: I spent the day hanging out at home with the boy and our box obsessed cat.
• Saturday January 2nd: I went on an adventure into the city to buy some new work clothes. I had to stop at the world’s most awesome cupcake place on the way. If you’re ever in Melbourne, make sure you visit Little Cupcakes. Their cream cheese iced chocolate cupcakes are delicious!
• Sunday January 3rd: The Christmas tree was packed away.
• Monday January 4th: Visited my cousin after work. The picture is of an awesome shopping bag from Green with Envy she had sitting on her wardrobe.
• Tuesday January 5th: My walk home from work.
• Wednesday January 6th: Pub trivia with old friends!
• Thursday January 7th: I can’t believe my supermarket is stocking Easter Eggs already.

I wasn’t planning to make any real New Year’s Resolutions this year. However, the boyfriend did and it got me thinking seriously about a few of the things I want to achieve over the next couple of years.

As a consequence of said thinking, yesterday I finally completed a list of 101 (rather random) tasks I want to achieve over 1001 days. I’ve been working on this list on and off for about six months, ever since I was inspired to finally doing a 101/1001 list of my own by Elizabeth.

Some of them are just for fun such as buying a ridiculous pair of shoes just because. Some of them are quite serious such as finally getting around to visiting a dentist, which is something I haven’t done in almost 3 years.

If you’re interested in some of the things I have planned for myself over the next 2.75 years please feel free to check out my list!

For me, 2009 had its ups & downs, just like every other year. Tomorrow’s a whole new beginning. I love the feeling of being able to start anew each year… I can’t wait to see what 2010 has in store. :)

I hope you have a lovely New Years Eve! The boy and I are going to a friend’s pool party. I’ll be armed with glow sticks & a glow in the dark fairy wand, ’cause New Eve is always a great excuse for some random happiness!

P.S. You’re all awesome. Thanks for reading my ramblings and sharing 2009 with me!

I think I need to change the tagline of this weblog to “Nadine. Spamming the internet with uber cute pictures of furry animals.”

 
Meet Lady. She’s my parents beautiful 4 year old Belgian Sheppard.

I’m convinced she’s a little confused about her age. She still galumphs around like a (giant) puppy and shows off her huge collection of squeaky toys to just about everyone who visits my parent’s house.

I’m visting my parentals for a few days over the Christmas holidays. Aside from the perks of being fed (my mum’s spaghetti bolognaise is kind of awesome) and getting to catch up with family & friends, there’s really not that much to do here.

I’ve only been here since yesterday morning and the ’small country town’ boredom is already settling in…
