My resolution for 2006 is to fall in love...

...with myself and treat myself real nice starting with a) taking time to do yoga and reap the mental/physical benefits; and b) creating a cosy well lit space to read in.

New Years Eve went really well. My dinner was a success - even my surprise (what needs eating in the kitchen) yorkshire puds stuffed with chestnuts and brussel sprouts. The halibut was yummy and I'm definitely going to cook more fresh fish from now on (thanks Ewa for inspiring me). Haagen Daaz and luxury sticky toffee pudding for dessert - how can you go wrong? By the way Mark while you bake in Australia, some nicely chilled Haagen Daaz and champagne is waiting for your return.

We watched 'Love Actually' which I think may be my favourite movie of that ilk and it finished 5 to midnight when Heart FM counted us in and played Auld Lang Syne as the neighbours kindly provided the firework display enjoyed through the windows. PERFECT! Then we chose Angels to accompany us into the new year. I got Power, Trust and Birth. That last one has really worried me as you can imagine.

In defense or something it led me the next morning to pontificate on what the effects would be in the whole world gave up having children for a decade in order to lessen the burden on the environment and increase employment chances for older people etc.

Back to last night then we did Robin's personality quiz of a million questions which was very thought provoking and awakening - hence more fuel to my resolution. I'm a 6 - a 'Questioner'. A great night! On Myers Briggs I am an ESFJ by the way and it really sounded like me but then it always does. I am everything. Sounds like some anthem song.

So perfect night except I always find it bit of an anti-climax after the expectation that at midnight something super miraculous happens like ... let me think ... Colin Firth kidnaps Mark in the Australian outback so that he can woo me. No, I think I prefer Mark's company. That would have been a perfect perfect evening then.
