Welcome to 2013!
I brought the year in with a bang and then a fizzle. Went to a house party and then spent most of the next day sleeping. 2013 has been extremely unproductive so far. LOL. We actually missed the countdown completely and while there was a few half-hearted attempts to do a countdown as soon as we noticed nobody really seemed to care. There was some drinks, dancing and just general chit chat all night. Plus a very drunk 15 year old boy who I suspect had a much slower start to the new year than I did. I'm not used to staying up until after 3am.
51 days until I head to Edmonton for my flight to Vietnam. The flight is early the morning of the 23rd, February but I need to drive down the day before. I can't believe the trip is coming up so quickly. I still haven't booked the first portion of my trip and can't seem to make up my mind on where I will be going for the first week of travel. All in good time.
Things seem to be going well with the new BF. We have just made plans for me to meet his two daughters in February just before I leave. BIG step for me. I'm terrified at the thought. Given my track record with kids it isn't entirely surprising.
I met his nephew in December and that didn't go well. LOL. He is the son of a friend of mine from up North and when I went to the house to pick up a board game the poor little guy cried nearly the whole time. His dad was holding him at one point and took a couple of steps towards me as he did the little guy leaned away from me. Testing the theory he did it again and each time his son physically moved his body to be as far away from me as possible.
At least the girls are a bit older--9 and 11 so there shouldn't be the same show of tears. I'm just not sure what to expect as my experience with 9 and 11 year old girls would have been MANY years ago when either I or my sister were of those ages. Anyway, I have about a month to figure that out so no worries for the moment.
Today I need to focus on getting through the day with some energy. Happy New Year!
