Yes, that is from a song… I can’t remember which one, but I’m sure it is from a song!
It feels like it’s been a long time since I started this bloggity thing. I guess it has. November 07 saw me write my first post. I’ve met some awesome people along the way. So many I couldn’t list them all here.
The first ever blog I read was, a blog about gaming. Then I found TJ’s blog and when she joined NaBloPoMaHo in Nov 07 I wanted to jump on the bandwagon, although I didn’t really have a clue what I was letting myself in for! Thanks to the NaBlo’in fun I met Veronica, Lotus and Sandy, along with many others. Those are the three I still read religiously – though I may not comment all the time (naughty blogger/commenter!).
There have been a *lot* of changes in my life since I started blogging, not to mention new friendships I’ve made online. Barbara and Mrs W come to mind when I think of that. Actual UK bloggers! OMG! I swear I couldn’t find any UK bloggers till the British Mummy Bloggers ning group started up – now there are so many to choose from I don’t know where to start.
Today (as you might have guessed) is Delurker day 2010, and (of course) I’d like to find out if there are actually any lurkers here on my blog. I’d love to know more about you, and if you have a blog, I want to have the chance to read it!
So, if you’re normally a lurker (as I am myself on quite a few blogs), please de-lurk yourself, even if it’s only for one day! I’d love to hear about how you found me, and also… which is better – chocolate, or crisps? Cause I’m never quite sure myself… (also I would ask who your favourite blogger is but it’s been done! 
).
Come forward and comment! It’s like giving me presents, and I loves me presents!

Seriously, Mrs W, just ONE photo? How on earth can I choose just ONE favourite photo? Gahh, I don’t know… the things you make me do!
OK well I’ve made my choice.
It’s a photo I took very recently.
Just a couple of weeks ago to be honest.
I was playing about with my settings when I took it, and it didn’t come out at all how I’d planned, but I love the movement in it.
It’s just so Zack. He’s really into his music at the moment (thank you Dean!), and he’s always on the move. My perfect imperfect photo of my boy. I love it!
Sooo… now I get to try to tag some people who haven’t been tagged yet. Damn, ok… this could be a toughie cause all my usual suspects have already been tagged, grr!
OK, my apologies if any of you have already been tagged!
My girl Sandy, at Momisodes. Tag, you’re it!
Rachael at Antithete, cause I love her photos of her lil kidlets and I think we should see more pics of hers!
Kat, over at Write Like No one’s Reading. She’s learning with her photography, just like me, and has even had one of her photos up on The Pioneer Woman’s photography section!
Kirsty Legg at her 365 blog, she’s a photographer I met through Plurk who is based in my old home-town of Dundee. Unfortunately I’ve yet to have the pleasure of meeting her, but one day… one day… 
And last but not least, Laura from Synchronization of Us, cause she’s fae Glesgae an she’s awesome.

Well, last night was the first time Zack ever stayed up for the bells, and he almost made it! That was us at about 10pm ish, I think.
This was him at 11pm…
The quality ain’t that great cause these were taken on photobooth and my iPhone, but hey… at least there’s proof! I woke him up for the bells though, so I got to bring in the New Year with two of my favourite people.
I guess a lot of people will be blogging about their resolutions this year. I don’t think I actually made any last year, it was basically all about surviving.
I have a good feeling about 2010 though, it’s gotta be better than 2009, right? At least December was awesome though, so I won’t complain.
What will 2010 bring about for me?
I will turn 26. Dean will be 31, Zack will turn 5 and will start school, and Max will turn 3 and hopefully start nursery (can you scream FREEEDOOOOOOOM with me???? 
:D:D ).
Max will start talking properly.
I will get a divorce (yay!).
Life will be awesome.
2010 is gonna be my year, I can feel it. Even my horoscope seems to say it’ll be a good year for me!
What’s my main goal for the year? To lose weight. I’ve been losing steadily since last summer so I’ve just gotta stay on track. I need to do this for my health, my self esteem, and to be a better mum to my boys.
I’m also going to attempt to write more on the blog again. What can I say, a certain wonderful person has kept me busy/entertained/extremely happy so I’ve not had the same amount of time on my computer. I’ve gotta say, I don’t really mind at all!
So… what are your plans for the new year? Is anything big going to be happening for you? Any goals you’ll be working towards? Let me know! Feel free to leave me links to your blog posts if you’ve written about it recently. Lets face it, we’re all doing it, right?
Happy New Year everyone! Here’e to 2010 being the start of an AWESOME decade for us all! xxx

The view of the moon from my deck at dusk… was so much more stunning than this pic shows.
Teh boyf… hahahah sorry, that word makes me giggle like a schoolgirl. XD He’s modelling a hat my mum knitted for him… which he’s been wearing constantly since he got it!
My lil snow angel. Today Max got his first chance ever to go out in the snow. He *loved* it and thought the snowballs tasted really good too!
