HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I know it has been a while since I last posted, the past weeks over Christmas and New Year were a little mad - work, party, board, work, party, board - you get the picture! Best wishes to you all for the new year, hope that you partied safely but madly on the night and that 2006 holds only the best for you all.

I spent Christmas Eve with some friends down the road also from South Africa, we had a Christmas dinner complete with Turkey and secret Santa under the (rather tiny) Christmas tree. It wasn't my family at home, but the guys made me feel really welcome and I had an awesome night that turned pretty large in the end. Worked Christmas Day and solidly for the rest of the week. Aspen is really full of holiday makers at the moment, and it's peak season so there is money to be made from it all.

New Year was amazing:
15:00h: Go to work
23:30h: Leave work, run home grab some Bud and race to Rubey Park to see the new year in with my mates from down the road
00:00h: Fireworks over Aspen/Ajax Mountain, hugs all round, starts snowing on cue at midnight as the fireworks start - awesome!
00:30h: Walk home to the Saffers house, crack open some drinks to celebrate, decision made to spend the first hours of the new year in a jacuzzi
00:31h: Realise we dont have a jacuzzi
00:32h: Decide to "borrow" the neighbour's one
00:45h: Gate is locked
00:46h: Break fence
Not sure: Jacuzzi is incredible, starts dumping snow - clothes are all wet
Not sure: Aspen police not so impressed with the jacuzzi as we are
Not sure: Run for safety in towel, no shoes, clothes are soaked!
Not sure: Can't remember
10:00h: Breakfast to celebrate Dina's birthday - many happy returns my girl!
11:30h: Pass out
15:00h: Work again!
