Well Hello 2012

So it is a new year, the celebrations have happened and everyone is starting their new year new slate. People are posting their New Years Resolutions and this year they will stick to them! We are all rejoicing in the new start that the new year brings.

We had a lot of plans for today, we were heading to Mr L’s parents for one of his mums legendary roast dinners, and then leaving there and heading to my mum for her fantastic buffet teas, and seeing all the family on the way. With all brother and sisters and nieces and nephews being at their houses as well. Instead we are housebound with a poorly child, who seems to have been fighting a bug for the last three days being sick on and off, and now has woken with a temperature, and is laying on the sofa not really wanting to do a lot.

So instead of New Year being a day of celebrating and seeing all the family we are instead, mooching about the house and chilling, hoping that this may be the last day Baba feels poorly and that he may be a lot better tomorrow. The problem is last time he went a whole 48hours without being sick again so it is a little hard to gauge whether he is better or not.

I am hoping that this is not a sign of things to come in 2012 and that it is a one-off with Baba at the moment to be honest, as I do not fancy a year of being poorly. So what do I fancy…

I am not one for really do resolutions I am the ultimate person, who will do it this year and then never does. So instead of resolutions there are a few things that I want to achieve this year, the biggest thing is the 365 Project, which is actually 366 this year due to it being a leap year! I love taking photos and at the end of last year my faithful Fuji camera finally lost the fight and broke beyond repair, so I am now using my little Samsung camera full-time. I have to admit I have never really got to grips with this camera as I have always had my Fuji, so this project is a good excuse to finally work out how to get the most out of this camera and to work out how to use it to its best abilities. I tried the 365 project last year and I failed miserably only getting to-day 90. This year I want to do much better this year and want to complete it all. I am not sure how to post the pictures and want them on my blog somehow but am not 100% sure yet how to do them so will be investigating that today.

I also have a journal this year, and I am determined to record something about our lives every day I love writing, the old way pen to paper, and have actually been writing in the journal since Boxing Day and have managed to do it so far and am loving doing it every evening. It really helps me reflect on the day and it is something that I really want to achieve this year and think this works great alongside the 366 project.

Apart from that I have a few work plans but generally I just want to be happy, have a semi organised and cleanish house and a happy Baba and a happy Mr L.

So what are your plans for 2012?

From all of us at And Then All I Thought About Was You we wish you a Happy New Year and a great 2012!
