I hope all of you are having a fantastic start to 2012 and a fabulous Christmas. It's scary to think how fast 2011 went. I promise this weeks post won't be as long as my last one but don't hold your hopes up haha. Also I won't be writing about my photography work this week just to give you a little rest :). However I shall include a couple of photos that I took over the Christmas period.
As always I'm watching the television whilst I write this though I'm not really sure what I'm watching and seeing as my sky remote is near my pillow and I simply can't be bothered to get up and get it, it looks like I won't be finding out anytime soon (lazy I know but hey what do you expect from me.) So far all I can tell is that it's a programme about a bunch of large woman trying to lose weight and become beyonce lookalikes, it's a bit weird :/.
I've decided that 2012 is going to be one of my best years yet, I don't care what gets in my way. So this year I have a couple of resolutions. My first one is to lose weight and get in shape. I started slimming world in 2011 but so far it hasn't gone to plan so this year I'm going to really buckle down and work super hard to get to the shape and size I want to be. I've already written a food plan which I will try to follow as of Friday, which is the day after I weigh-in. It's my first weigh-in of the year and after feasting out over the past couple of weeks on Christmas pudding, sweeties and booze, I'm ready to jump straight on the horse as they say and make a fresh start. My second resolution is to completely stop biting my nails. I try this every year but I always seem to fail face first haha, but this year I will do it even if it means having to wear nail varnish everyday, which for me isn't a problem unless I have work but I usually end up applying a new colour when I get home or the day after depending if it's a night shift or not.
I really feel like 2012 will be great. You may remember last weeks post where I mentioned that I had been asked to do the photography work for a local gymnastics centre. Well you will be happy to know that I received some amazing news that I will be doing it every year. I am so excited, I know I said that I wasn't going to talk about my photography work but I'm just so happy that I got this gig :D. I'll get to use my brand new flash gun which I bought only the other day :). I may even try and take it with me when I go to see Charlie Simpson in March.
Talking of gig's or concerts I can't wait to also see Olly Murs in February (wow thats alot of capital letters) even if we haven't quite worked out how we're getting there yet. I'm also hoping to see a few of my friends bands play at local gigs and the such. I'm a big supporter of local talent and I'm always willing to give people a helping hand in getting their music out there. That is why I go on about Tom Law and Andrew Balkwill a fair bit. I haven't been able to stop listening to their music, it's on constant replay on my iPod. I even got Tom's E.P Dropping In for Christmas from my younger sister for Christmas with a little message from Tom written on the inside cover :)
I have a new singer for you guys to check out now though. His name is Calvin Roche. I saw him at a gig at the Relentless Garage about a month and a half ago when me and my sister went to support Andrew. His voice is beautifully soothing and I'm looking forward to him releasing an E.P at the begining of this year :) Check him out he's on facebook:-http://www.facebook.com/pages/Calvin-Roche-Music/104116106353241 where you can find some of his songs. So far my favourite has to be 'Lie About The Truth' (I'll post the video below) I'm not sure why but it's one of those songs that I can easily find myself listening to without even realising it. He's also on twitter so head over and follow him - https://twitter.com/#!/Calvinrocheband. You'll regret it if you don't trust me. Here's a little video for you to all check out :).
I've realised I'm starting to drag on abit now, which isn't surprising. So i'll love you and leave you now with a couple of shots I took over christmas. Please don't forget to check out my photography page on facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sarah-Thompson-Photography/145795518848615 and don't forget to let me know what you think :). I love you guys, I don't know how to say that in all your languages but I do appreciate your support :).
Happy New Year Everybody!
