So I have just ever so slightly neglected this page for a couple of weeks.
But I do have a good excuse - I just haven't thought of it yet.
I have just been doing the usual lately - work, sleep, eat, party, work, work ,work.
But the next couple of weeks should be better - first I have to make sure the work Christmas Party is completely organized and ready to go on the 20th Dec.
Our work only closes for Stat days, so I have taken some annual leave off for the week of New Years. I am going to drive up to Whangarei and visit my friends parents (27th - 30th). Then I'm going to drive back to Auckland, wash some clothes, pack some more and head off for Wiaheke Island the next day (31st - 2nd).
I am actually really excited - although the idea of taking a 2 hour drive by myself, to somewhere I have never driven before, scares the socks off me.
So I get a nice 12 day holiday, PAID FOR!
What I am really looking forward to is Christmas Day & the day I see Twilight!

About Me
- Cheryl
- "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe

I'll wait patiently for your excuse....
Sounds like you are going to have a lovely holiday!! Going new places and seeing friends is a lot of fun. I wish you a safe journey.
And I hate to rub it in... but I've seen Twilight!! I hope you like it. (Probably by the time you see it for the first time, I'll have seen it again....) :D
