2009

Here's looking at 2009, what i've done & completed & tucked away nicely:

- have maintained all friendships that i meant to. In fact, have gotten closer with the ones that really matter

- seen 2-3 great pals got married, and joined in their big day

- moved to a lovely apartment and made new friends

- Brought Marco to Perth, truly enjoyable and a breath of fresh air, even if he fell sick midway

- Hosted some home parties and dinners, of which makes me very happy. I just love people gathering at home, over food and kids

- Went back to full-time work in August

- Managed to save a tidy sum and most importantly, stay debt-free

- Purged myself of my crazy, ridiculous, obsessive impulse-shopping streak. gone. i am now a thrift/cheapskate.

- Tripled my shoe collection

- Read and read and read many great books, some life-changing

- Survived without domestic help for 6 months now... incredible

- Found a nice pre-school for Marco in the vicinity
