Happy 2013

Happy New Year.

In the spirit of new beginnings I have decided to attempt to write all the things that I have been meaning to write, rather than just making my flat mate listen to me rant (she's very patient).

The end of last year was very hectic. I took my only real holiday of the year in November and went to see the full solar eclipse in Cairns. It was quite spectacular but I will do a post on that soon.

My band also parted ways with our bass player which put a hold on all our shows but we managed to get some decent promo work done and even managed to get our single on a few stations and podcasts in the states which was mind blowing.

Of course then there was Christmas. My parents are between houses, they sold their house just before Christmas and get the keys to their new one on Monday so they've been hotel hopping for the last few weeks. Which is how we ended up at Peppers in Bowral for Christmas day. Opening presents near the tree in the lounge area led to conversations with the other people staying there. Which led to having to explain why I got bed sheets and a GPS as presents. Only slightly strange.

The highlight of the day however was definitely lunch. When booking Mum told them that I was vegetarian, to which they responded that there would be salad on the buffet and yes it would still be full price. So Mum told them I was Vegan and made them make me my own separately prepared meal, all of which I then had to eat because I didn't want them to feel unappreciated. They were working on Christmas for goodness sake. I've been there, it sucks. Though it was $160 per head so something other than salad wasn't really too much to ask.
Cue me struggling through 3 courses and Mum feeling bad for making such a fuss. Have to say it was totally worth it though because they did a spectacular job.

So after a short break I am now back at work and am thoroughly looking forward to this year. I'm not really in the habit of making New Years resolutions as I am constantly setting goals for myself throughout the year anyway but I did have some to start off with, one of which was kicking off my blog again with this post. The others, well you'll just have to wait and see!
