That time....

Christmas crept up, and then went all too quickly. In Liverpool? Well the day was quiet, and pretty much perfect...just the two of us. 

It was the first year ever that it passed without blood being drawn, without violence and without bitter arguments. Was I surprised? You can bet I was...

A few times I caught myself panicking, my heart rate creeping up and tears forming behind my eyes - but I turned and saw Will and the falling stopped. 

No tears, no arguments, no pain... well fuck me this must be what Christmas is 'supposed' to be like.

And now we're stuck in this odd time between Christmas and New Year... do you get back to 'normal', do you carry on relaxing? Do you think over the year passed, or the year to come? Do you think of things to give up, or things to take up?

Will it be a New Years Resolution, or a New Years Revolution?

Let's hope it'll be better than last year... but I don't want to build up ideas of perfection or grandure... I hope 2009 will work on what I achieved last year, and instead of taking steps backwards... will move forwards. 

Of course there'll be a few bumps along the road...

... wouldn't be life otherwise, would it ;)

"well fuck me!" hahaa! it made me laugh.

mine was pretty low key, though I did have my friend who betrayed me over a job opportunity this past fall and her family over for dinner! That went well, considering. I wanted to try to make our way back to friendship, especially since much is at stake...our kids are very close and we're eachother's kid's mothers if you know what i mean. But, things most definately have changed. Im mostly fine with that, but would love to apply for the NEXT job up for grabs that has been advertised.....it would be her decision and she's basically decided not to even tell me about it.

so.......a strange Christmas, but I stayed sober-ish and didn't beat the shit out of her. :)

I'm glad, glad, glad, you saw no blood......

baby steps, baby steps.

Hello anonymous...nice to see you again. You sound a lot like my fiancé in fact. It's still in my thoughts, the old rock, but I still remember how bad I wanted to leave it... so coming back seems alien to me.

:) glad to make you smile Dana - sounds like you were a real trooper this year, I would have been rolling around the table with this woman, possibly tearing out her hair!

happy new year beautiful Niki. I have a sneaky delicious feeling that 2009 will be one to remember for many many good reasons.

love to you and will...x
