I got the job!

So the great news in my world is that I am now employed again!
I now work for a book publisher, in a fancy office!
It is a lower paying job, but they did offer me as much as they could, and they seem really excited to have me there because of my varied experience. I am learning allot already too.

Other great news:
-After tomorrow and only being there 4 days, they will have taken me out for lunch twice! I feel like a princess!
-My office has a window! (it looks into the warehouse but still adds allot of natural light)
-Next month Chris and I will move into a house that is actually more house than shed!
-Said house will have a DISHWASHER!
-Said house will have a real sized wardrobe in each of its THREE ROOMS!
-Said house will no have classroom-grade carpet squares on the floor!
-Said house will have a HUGE pantry!
-The Muppet movie did not disappoint!
-Tomorrow I will try Yum Cha for the first time!

Very Happy New Year! (I love living in the hills!)

I had a very low-key but very enjoyable new years celebration.
A day of pottering around, followed by an evening of Indian food and a trip to the outdoor cinema in Belgrave to watch Happy Feet Two. Then making it home just in time to watch the fireworks on telly.

BEST NYE EVER! WOO!

It had been a while since I had been to the Cameo, and even longer for Chris. We usually head to the major complex about half an hour away because Chris is a stickler for sound and image quality. But the old girl has come along in leaps and bounds since the days I used to slide down the carpeted stairs on my bum as a little girl. I think our visit last night and a quick peak inside the very new cinema 6&7 may have finally swayed Chris to think about going there more often. Yay!

This morning was also a great start to 2012. We had a bit of a late start so instead of showing up late for church we went in the opposite direction up the hill to Sassifrass. My sadness in finding the cafe I liked had changed hands was short lived when we realised it was now a cute little Parisian themed restaurant including a large selection of fresh Macaroons! Mmm... 2nd breakfast time it was!

Nom nom nom! Very cute vintage china too!

Then it was home to play a bit of Mario Cart on the Wii, and to take the first picture of Toffee for the year, this time wearing my glasses.

I'm sure she is totally impressed.

I hope your new year was all you wanted it to be, and remember you can make 2012 all you want it to be too!
