First post of 2009

Happy new year! I haven't blogged yet in 2009, but I haven't had much to blog about really. After a lovely (but chilly!) trip to Quebec, I returned home last weekend. I pretty much slept all day and stayed awake all night last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and thought being at work this week would be really difficult. However, it only took a couple of days to recover from the jet lag, and I felt fine again by Tuesday. I had a pretty uneventful week... and uneventful weekend this weekend, apart from a visit to Pizza Express with Veggie Hubby tonight. Life is fine ... but dull. The most exciting thing is that Veggie Hubby has got a new job working on Saturday morning teaching French to 5 year olds, which he began yesterday!

This month, I am looking forward to...

1) Obama's inauguration, which I think will start a new era of hope for the USA and world. I'm fairly excited about it
2) Lost season 5 starting
3) The Oscar nominations. I am hoping Penelope Cruz wins for her role in Vicky Barcelona Cristina, which played on my flight home from Canada.
(Okay, I think I am sounding American now).
4) Seeing friends
5) Finding out who will represent the UK in Eurovision this year, and what song Andrew Lloyd Webber will compose for them.

I am not looking forward to...

1) Having to wake up at 6am tomorrow to travel all the way to Leicester and back in a day.
2) Spending Saturday mornings alone while Veggie Hubby works.
