pilates with Carlos

CNY was spent with Grumpy's extended family here in Melbourne. This little prince charming is the son of Grumpy's cousin.

I absolutely love this photo. When he was playing the organ with his bum. That was before we all got told off by some horrible aunt. Haha note how gorgeous the girl on the right is.... She's so sweet, she gives all of us a toothache.

My package from Dublin arrived recently. It was some stuff I could not take with me at that time, because my luggage was well and truly over the 30kg limit. My old boss from Dublin also surprised me with a gift - the entire box set of Dawson's Creek. I know, I know, Dawsons Creek is sooo old. But I like it. She lent me Seasons 1-3 over there, and I watched them all in Dublin. When I got back to Australia, I bought Season 4. Cost me a whopping $50.. jeeeeeesus. I was contemplating to get Season 5, only because it was expensive.

And then she gave me the entire set, Seasons 1-6! I was very happy indeed. BTW, I waited for four seasons for Pacey to pop Joey's (Katie Holmes) cherry and while I haven't finished Season 4 yet, Dawson is still a virgin! And that is one of the little things I like about Dawson's Creek. It is nothing like that tv show which everyone is watching... what is it called again? Oh rite.. Gossip Girl...

Grumpy and I have been going thru some crazy highs and lows in our relationship. Seriously, we can't stop fighting. He blames my hormones, I blame.... him. But we're okay for now.

And while he attempts to pick up a new hobby called golf, I got myself a gym membership! So far I've only been to the gym once. Today at work, I told the guy next sitting next to me, that while I am very interested in attending gym classes, I am nervous at the same time. Reason being, I've never been to a gym class before, and I'm just worried I will look like an idiot. His response was "Jules, if you can go to Ireland for six months on your own, I'm sure you can manage an hour in gym class" Okay, so that's Thursday nights pilates with Carlos.

Work has been going quite well for me personally. While the message that is always being sent out is 'recruitment freeze' and cost cutting, smaller bonuses this year too, the good news is, I was recently promoted! I am quite pleased about it. This promotion is quite an interesting one as I will no longer report to the Absolute Retard.. what a relief! I will soon report to bosses in Europe and will be supporting the Asia Pacific region - Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. Fingers crossed, I hope the new role will work out well for me.
