urgh! I don’t know how else to explain how my body feels right now. I’m too old for parties and constant drinking! Melissa and I went to a party last night, it was fun, we had BBQ, and tequila jelly shots. Enough said.
The last couple of weeks off work has been great. My mother came from the UK, we went down south to Margaret River and stayed in a lovely cottage on 5 acres (same one we stayed in for christmas ‘05). What a nice break away. The wine was GREAT this year.
Melissa is 29 weeks pregnant now, coming along nicely! I’m very excited about being a dad and have lots of work around the house on the go, in preparation.
I’m going to try and get fitter this year. At least walk the dog more, and do some sit ups or something. Beer gut is nasty! I also want to landscape the front and back yards, make more money with my own business, learn something completely new, get a pay rise at work (no chance, govn jobs, urgh), get a phat new monitor for my desk at home (when my own business makes more money!), and just be a good father to my little girl when she comes into my life.
I’ve had a terrible ebay experience over the last couple of months. I bought a pocket bike off ebay (those little 49cc mini bikes). I thought it would be fun to ride around with some mates who have them. It still hasn’t arrived after paying for it in mid-Nov. I’ve raised a dispute on ebay, and hope the seller gets my bike or money back to me really soon. I’ve heard some great excuses! anyway….
The in-laws are finally going to buy a MAC. We’ve convinced them. Yay for that. No more viruses and spyware to kill their machine. We’re going to get them the top-model 20″ iMac. I have no doubt they will just love it!
My websites are going okay, not much has progressed on a lot of them. My popular site leopardtricks.com is doing fairly well, and has over 11,000 subscribers. I did have almost 13,000 just before Christmas! Amazing! I expect to have a lot more visitors during January as people get Mac’s or Leopard for Christmas.
I’ve got two websites to build for a client. I’ve already started on one. Thats good. All of my sites and clients sites were down the other day for over a day. Thats bad. My server seems fine, but my host/provider had some kind of network issues *sigh*. Lucky I don’t have any super critical web sites on my server!
Anyway, it’s 9:30 AM now, enough dribble. Have a great 2008 (that rhymes!) and smile!
