A Year of Good Things

• 13/366 ::For the craft room and MR's sanity::
  A new set of drawers for the bedroom means an old set of drawers for the craft room.  Time to finally finish setting up the craft room and making it beautiful! (hence easing MR's mind at my insane levels of clutter)  

• 12/366 ::For myself::
  I've started to see a kinaeseologist in an attempt to work through my issues (along with the help of counsellors at the hospital) and get my body back in working order.  Fingers crossed!
  

• 11/366 ::For my credit card::
  I finally started last year's tax.  Oops.  I was in hospital though so I got an extension.  Typed up all my receipts and have over four grand in expenses to claim, woot!  Hopefully once I finish it, process it and get my tax back, this will make my poor credit card feel a bit happier! 
   
  
• 10/366 ::For my GrandadI made him a nice big bread and butter custard, his favourite dessert.  And three bowls of leftovers for another day!
  

• 9/366 ::For myself::
  I ate comfort food. Vanilla cannoli.  Yum. 
  

•  8/366 ::For myself and for Bloggers::
  Today has been another day of quiet.  Nap filled to (attempt to) restore energy.  Contemplative of 2012 goals and One Word as above.  Lots of blog reading.  Lots of commenting love.  Surely that is a Good Thing in itself?  Everybody loves comments. 
   
• 7/366 ::For some friends::
  Yesterday I went to MR cousin's (L) housewarming party yesterday and I organised with MR's direct family (parents/brothers) to go in together to get a Good Present.  L had been talking about how she wanted a nice big frangipani tree to go out the front of their house but of course, a tree is a bit expensive for most people to purchase, including them.  Listening to what people talk about liking so you can get them awesome presents is a Good Thing.  So together we put in and got the biggest one I could find.  The tropical version with pink flowers of course!  It only just fit in my car on the front seat floor.  I had to peer through the leaves when I wanted to turn left!  It's looking a bit windswept here but that's what you get on a windy day!  Do you like my attempt at wrapping?  A cheery yellow (windswept) ribbon around the trunk.  Is it called a trunk when it's that small?  You can't really call it a stem or a stalk? 

• 6/366 ::For myself::
  I was lucky enough to win a $150 gift voucher for Rebel Sport from the lovely ladies at Alice Becomes just before Christmas and I spent it today on some motivating exercise stuff.  A Zumba package with hand weights, a fit ball and some exercise shorts and pants.  Getting fit here I come! (Just a bit slowly and Zumba might have to wait a few more weeks...)
   
• 5/366 ::For a stranger::
  At the hospital today I left my change in the parking ticket machine after paying.  Only $1.20 but finding money is always nice and cheering people up who are visiting people at hospital is definitely a Good Thing!
   
• 4/366 ::For myself::
  I had a lazy day, the only day this week I can do that because the rest is filled with doc appointments and catching up with my sister and friends.  Catching up with blogs, updating my blog layout, reading, spending time just resting and regenerating energy ready for the rest of the week. Lazy days are Good!
   
• 3/366 ::For MR's brother (and for me because I miss hanging with kids)::
  I looked after MR's 5yo nephew while his brother was at a wedding.  We had an awesome time!
    

• 2/366 ::For my Dad and his charity::
  I helped out at a sausage sizzle to raise money for a school in Cambodia
   
• 1/366 ::For my pet::
  I bought prawns, her new favourite treat, for her to have for dinner
