- Dan's sister gave birth to little Anthony a week before Christmas
- spent Christmas Day alone on request but actually enjoyed the "day off" from all the hype (obviously I still have immediate family problems)
- Dan's father was admitted into hospital on Boxing Day due to suffering from angina and he is still in there having tests, fingers crossed
- checked my SPAM folder on the last day of the year and found an email from a prospective employer sounding me out for a really cool job in the city...will see what comes of it
- it turned out to be a booze, dance and love fest with old friends
- the apartment was a gorgeous warehouse conversion with rooftop access to see the fireworks
- found out my ex's best friend died in his bath tub a couple of weeks ago (sad shock!)
- got home at 5am
- and have decided, I really hate getting trashed. My head hurts and yes, I do say this every time and then I go and do it all over again. At least not as much these days
I hope you all had a great start to your New Year and that you never stop learning, trying and challenging yourselves to live a better life and share it with those you love!

Bah I just wrote a big comment and then accidentely closed the page.
There is something very special and thought provoking about being around birth and death at the same time. A few years ago I attended a birth and death (different people) in the same week, and I found the contrast between these two events, and the way they made me feel was fascinating. And humbling. Circle of life eh?
Happy New Year! Your job prospects sound very cool. I hope 2007 brings you lots of adventures.. your calendar looks great - I'm working on something slightly similar myself.
My goodness you have had a tumultuous week. I hope 2007 has all wonderful experiences in store for you. Big hugs. How exciting about a new baby in the family.
Happy New Year, Mary. Thank you for everything you shared with us in 2006. You are a truly inspiring woman, who clearly has a loving and generous heart.
Hopefully 2007 will give us a chance to meet in person!
What an intense couple of weeks you've had! The job sounds like it could be great and would save you the North Ryde commute hassle. It's always good yet odd catching up with old friends and hearing of their adventures. I plan on catching up with a couple of mine soon but I'm not entirely sure how it will pan out, we've all shot off down quite different paths.
I hope you've had a great start to the year, excluding the hangover, of course ;). Mine was quiet but I've already started to plan things out ... one thing I found out was that JetStar have $1100 return flights to Osaka!
Happy New Year.
Congrats on becoming an auntie and I hope all goes well with Dan's dad. Can't wait to hear about the job - sounds like it could be a new change for the new year.
Thanks for being a great blogging buddy over the last year xx
Wow, some these are some pretty life changing events - I guess it takes these type of situations to give you some perspective (whether you want it or not)
Here's to keeping on trying - it's all we can do sweet in the good times and bad!
Happy New year Mary - thankyou for being a great support to me:)
Congratulations on being an Auntie!!
Hope Dan's dad is fine
Happy New Year Mary - sounds like you had an interesting night. A toast to another year under our belts and all the best for a kick-arse 2007. Looking forward to meeting you when I hit Sydtown sometime this year!!!
Happy new year. Hope everything turns out well for the job and for Dan's dad.
Catching up with old friends can be so emotional (and sometimes makes you realise why you stopped hanging out with them in the first place) but often worthwhile just so you can remember the person you were.
