January

Will need to put this into a layout (of a few layouts) eventually... but anyway, the month in a nutshell:

January 2010
Frantically trying to get myself back into teaching after taking a bit of a break from it at the end of last year. Lots of phone calls, emails, applications and daydreaming about places like Charters Towers.
Watching McLeod's Daughters Season 1&2 on DVD.
Listening to Adam Brand's Greatest Hits and Foo Fighters Greatest Hits. LOVING Adam Brand, disappointed to realise that all of The Fooies songs sound the same once you play a few of them one after the other.
Finding a church I like down this end of town with friendly people and a good vibe.
Celebrating Australia Day in the front yard of my cousins' place in a badly-blown-up pool.
Catching up with my girls over chocolate and Katie's yummy sausage rolls.
Failing to surprise Ben for his 25th Birthday "Surprise" party.
Using a "texas voice" with Jess while putting on an epic performance of Achy Breaky Heart on Singstar.
Actually maintaining my fringe for once.
Having that darn Fireflies song stuck in my head.
Waiting around for Cyclone Olga that didn't do anything interesting at all.
Catching up with Cat & Woody while they were in town.
Celebrating Mel Mac's (1st) & Nicoles (2nd) pregnancy news.
Being keen as for Meg & Johnny's wedding in September.
Hassling Adam that he should do something for his upcoming 21st.
Congratulating Josh & Loretta on their engagement.
Empathising with a close friend over the sudden death of her older brother.
