Now that was fun. Christmas Eve we went to see Cheaper by the Dozen 2, for no other reason than that the cinemas are air-conditioned. I’m not sure what happened to the white Christmas thing. Although it kind of funny to hear songs like Winter Wonderland in shops that have the aircon blasting so high you can hardly hear the CD over it.

The movie was good though. Despite what a certain father may believe. (Yes that means you.)

Christmas Day was fun. We did the whole Santa thing (can you believe I got a mobile?!?) and had breaky, then went to a friends place for ‘drinks’ which I personally believe was just an excuse to get the adults into a positively fridge-like lounge room. But whatever. They let the kids in eventually.

We had lunch at our place but, tragically, the pool was out of action, so we just had to sweat it off until we got to our cousins for dinner about five hours later. Although, come to think of it, I didn’t actually go for a swim there either, because it came over really stormy.

Boxing Day we drove up to Mooloolabah (or something like that) to stay with our other cousins. The two hour trip took four hours. Four hours. I am not even joking. From the entrance of the Gateway Motorway to Caboolture we barely went over twenty k/h. Very boring. But we did eventually get there so we spent the next two days swimming.

Since we’ve been back, I have swum (finally the pool’s good) wandered around aimlessly and tried to teach myself to dive. Needless to say, I’m not exactly talented. And I went to the movies with a friend yesterday too. You’ve gotta love school holidays.

Oh my gosh I can’t believe I forgot. Dad’s gone on that CSIRO diet thingo so he’s FINALLY started running with me again. Yay!! Even though I can hardly make the distance anymore and he can easy, but he has an unfair advantage in the form of long legs.

Okay, I’m going now.

Happy New Year’s Eve.

G’day,
I went to the Christmas carols last night (it was last night when I wrote this), which my mum, brother, friend, her parents, another friend and her family. It was really fun, even though some of the singing wasn’t really my kind of thing. Opera lady comes to mind. Although, to quote the man hosting it, she is the greatest voice you’ll ever hear. I guess I have no appreciation of greatness.
One thing(s) I did appreciate were the camels that brought the wise men to the stable thing that Mary, Joseph and Jesus were in during the play thing. It was really cool. They’re not something you tend to see on the footy field between the shopping centre and the swimming pool. I’d never even seen one in a zoo, although the only zoo I’ve ever been to is Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, which doesn’t count, because besides the cassowaries, the kangaroos are the most exotic thing there.
Although, you don’t see kangaroos hopping down the street. But whatever.
I’m not making sense anymore, so I might shut up now.
Bye
