Abandoned already?

So this hasn't really gotten off to the best start.

It has been....almost one month since my last update, and what has happened?  Welll...not a whole lot.
My computer was down for a few weeks...and during those weeks I had lots of moments where I thought of something, or saw something, and thought "oooh I have to add that to my list".  Those eureka moments passed as quickly as they came, and I have forgotten most of them.

I've been kept busy during the week at work, also had a lot of after-work functions which means I don't get home to rather late (yay - the christmas party season begins!), then I have had a few weekends consisting over a little over-indulgence in beverages of the alcoholic sort...which means that the balance of the weekend has been spent curled up in bed with a bottle of water and a few doses of paracetamol, trying to figure out who the new phone numbers on my phone are.

But this quiet weeekend has led me to activate this up again, and I have added approximately 20 things to my list!! So now I am up to 66 goals.  One of those things I hope to tick off in two weeks.  I have booked flights down to wellington for labour weekend.  I am planning to catch up with a friend of mine, and enjoy a couple of days touring around the Martinborough wine region - samping the best it has to offer....and heading up the road to the Tui Brewery ;)

I have also made headway into one of my items - to try new recipes.  So in the fridge over the past few weeks has appeared - Lolly cake (sooo easy, and sooo amazing), and ginger cake (yummy - lasted quite a while - but I ran out of icing sugar so I did not ice it...it was still nice, almost loaf-like).  I probably should try out a few recipes that test me a bit. 

I have also purchased a mint and parsley plant, and they are now sitting out on my deck. Only been used once - but I suppose I had better let them grow a bit!

I joined 'postcrossing.com' today.  I had never heard of this website until today.  What it is, is a website where you send postcards to random people, and random people then send postcards to you.  Cool aye.
So I have signed up...and I was given three addresses.  A guy in Germany (who wants 'quirky' cards), a woman in the Netherlands (who likes music), and a girl in New York (who likes dogs).  Tomorrow I will have a look around town for some cool postcards, post them off, and see what happens!!
