NYE 2010/11

So another year is over, and looking back at what I had planned to get done this year, I've managed to do quite well, I got my license, had Kyle come to stay, improved my grades at uni and got myself a job. My book and my weightloss goals will just have to continue as resolutions for 2011.

I really should be setting myself goals, it helps to have something to strive for. Hmm, ok I will...
  • reach an ideal and healthy weight, as well as increase my fitness level
  • have my book at least 3/4 completed
  • get my green P plates and learn to drive a manual
  • get a second-hand or ex-demo car (provided I'm approved for finance options)
  • visit my mother more often
  • write to Kyle more often
  • keep up decent grades at uni
  • learn what is required for my job faster than I have been
  • hang out with friends more
  • not buy a new phone, there is definately no need now
  • take the time to relax and read a book or two every now and then
  • learn to play Magic the Gathering
  • not let things drag me down so much, it's Yay Panda Happy Skye from now on
I suppose it looks like a long list, but it's mostly just things to live by rather than tangible goals. I don't think that's a bad thing, hehe.

So, despite tonight shaping up to be a very quiet New Years Eve, I do think that the year will start out okay for me. Fingers crossed!

sweet dreams

I have the moolah to be able to get myself a queen bedframe and mattress! And it's about time too, heh. I'm not going all out and getting an exceptionally good quality one or anything, but it will be so nice to know that I can actually have Kyle stay over and not need to sleep on the floor anymore!

I've ordered one from Fantastic Furniture seeing as they deliver once a fortnight to Forbes. The only problem with that is that I may need to take an extended morning or afternoon or lunch break at work in order for it to be delivered to my place.

Note to self: must remember to talk to someone at work about that.

Anywho, it's going to be so nice having a spare bed so that someone can come stay whenever they feel the need (I'm looking at you Coz), and to have a new mattress. Nothing feels as luxurious as fresh sheets on a new mattress. Oh I am so excited!

Hopefully the new bed will help me have nice dreams like that one I had a few nights back :P
