You know that I would love to see you next year.


As the lingering hangover still attests to - almost 48 hours after it drew to a close - 2012 was the year of parties. Four weddings, a crapload of 30th parties and a baby. I think of it as a year of excess, probably because it WAS. But it was a big year - I moved out, I got a big promotion and I turned 30.

I start 2013 with rather more of me around the middle than in 2012, but with grand plans to improve everything in 2013. As a New Year's cliche, oh yes, one of my biggest resolutions is to eat healthier, and sure, a large part of that is to lose weight, but it's also because I feel ruined. It's ever so dull, but eating healthily and exercising regularly does make you feel better on the inside, as well as the outside. And with a bridesmaid's dress awaiting me by the end of next year, I'd quite like to look my best.

I don't think you should regret anything though, and I don't. It would be easy to curse myself about gorging and boozing my way through the last year, but gosh darnit, it was FUN.

I was thinking about resolutions, and also my 30 Before 30 - which I never QUITE finished - and I plan to extend it. It was much more fun working through a list of fun, achievable things, rather than huge goals like lose 100lbs or pay off all my debts or marry Channing Tatum.

So I plan to go through that this week, update where I got to with it and add some new goals for this year. I mean, Channing Tatum is already married, so that's just SILLY.

Benedict Cumberbatch, on the other hand...

  6. Aah Sarah this is SO good!! Love it! Love all the round ups that have been done in the Blogger's own way! You look utterly beautiful in the month of August particularly! It's great when you can conclude a year like you have - I guess mine was lots of completed projects but I think 2013 might be a little emptier!!
