dear blog,

8:51 PM

i didn't forget you. i've just been avoiding you for some reason. not sure if its actually avoidance, or laziness, or being busy with other things.

in no particular order, here is the latest:

-dyed my hair brown
-my computer died. spent a computerless few weeks, ordered a new hd, and all is well now. maybe why i haven't blogged in forever.

-showed them Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain. most of them slept through it.
-cooked banana bread on several occasions
-my friend mick had a baby named hana, sooo lovely
-another baby by co-worker yano, who i held in my arms. he is a week old today.

that's all i can think of right now, and its really boring. but its life, i guess. bottom line though, i am doing well in my little life over here. really looking forward to the holidays and some sunshine down under!

wishing everyone a happy holiday season,

xx julia
