Jingle all the way

I haven’t made a post in a while and it’s because life has been really hectic, throw in Christmas and its nuts! In the last week leading up to Christmas I was running around like a chicken with its head chopped off trying to buy everyone presents. My busy Schedule Plus lack of sleep resulted in my left eye developing a twitch due to stress. Despite all this I’ve just been really really happy and I haven’t felt ‘stressed out’ at all.

Since Christmas time is very quiet for us I am on annual leave until January 5th. I’ve taken this time to just really relax and to indulge in sleeping in past 6am…what a luxury that is.

I scored really big from one of my managers at Hudson, I was helping him out by selecting his girlfriends Christmas pressies from Oroton where he spent like $800 on her (The lucky thing)! And while I was there he said to me ‘pick something’; at that stage I was fully panicking because I didn’t want him to spend money on me. He was like ‘if you don’t pick something then I will do it for you, and it may not be something you like’; so I went home that day with a $200 Oroton handbag (couldn’t believe my luck!)….I love my work…

Christmas day was terrific I spent the day at the beach with my family and Jacky where we had a lovely seafood picnic lunch. I managed to get a nice tan which was excellent! Because a few days earlier I scared myself when I put on a skirt and saw how my legs resembled those white fluorescent light globes.

I’m just really happy at the moment…my life, work and relationship seems to be going so well for me. I am exactly where I want to be at 22. Sure things get tough, but it’s all a part of life and I’m just really grateful.

I’m counting down my last few days of freedom…there’s going to be a lot of hard work ahead.
