Hello 2008!

Sorry it's been such a wait between postings...busy, again, I guess.

The calendar pages have changed again, and we are - once again - mis-dating cheques, and marveling that it is "January 21st, already!" How did that happen? Time is a fickle master, I guess.

The past few weeks (since the last post) I have completed my orientation to Pre-Op Processing as well as the Ambulatory Surgical Centre. I can't say I really like of enjoy either, but I think the entire transfer process was all about learning new tricks and mastering old fears. No?

Our New Years Eve was quiet, but sweet. Dinner with beloved friends; a tasty home-cooked meal, complete with my very first ever attempt at baking a Pavlova (now you know what the hell that is up at the top of the page). I can now call myself a real Kiwi!

For those less fortunate souls who were not born in the Land-of-the-Large-White-Pav; a Pavlova is a meringue cake made of egg whites and sugar. Named for the famed Russian ballet dancer of the early 1900's it is light as air, and tastes divine. Like a fluffy white cloud, frosted with whipped cream and sliced fruit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlova_(food)

There are pictures of it "fully dressed" but I have yet to procure them from my friends...

January has seen us become more busy with plans for our little family. Jobs have been applied for and offered, and the pitter-patter of tiny feet are being planned and plotted. This will prove a wonderfully expansive year, as we move ahead with our long-held plans.

"Watch this space", I guess...
