city of black and white

Janine, 22, Northern Ireland. Y'know, when you sit down and really think about it... life's pretty good. I'm documenting a year in my life, with (at least) one blog post per day. DFTBA & #letlovein. YouTube | Twitter

[changeontheairwaves]

So we made it. 

It's Dec 31. Well it's technically Jan 1, but we'll overlook it. 

I can't believe it's been a year since I started blogging every day on this blog. It seems like forever ago, but it doesn't seem like any time at all. 

There's no point in me doing a recap post of 2012, because it's all here. That's the beauty of this. I have the whole year documented here now to look back over and appreciate. And this year on a certain day, I can check back to see what I was doing/feeling a year ago. 

And that's the best feeling ever.

I don't know what I'm going to do with this blog now. If I'll keep using it as a personal or if I'll make it private and use it as an archive. I don't know.

But I'm done with the post a day thing. 

2012 has been great. Goodbye for now :)

work was so quiet today and it was such a shock to the system after the hustle and bustle of the past month or two! it was such a lovely breather :) 

tonight i tinychatted with nora and suzey for a while and watched the end of titanic and a documentary about the japanese tsunami 

oh! i also went to the j1 shop today and i miss it so muuucccchhhhh!!!!

i didn't do anything apart from watch movies in my pjs and eat and cry over children's movies

i bought myself a kindle tonight which kind of paid for itself because i sold my xbox to jodie and gareth 

today was a good day!

today was my day off work and i spent it getting christmas sorted out!

i went to ballymena this morning (after i slept in because i'm a cotton headed ninny muggins who forgot to set their alarm) and did the rest of my christmas shopping, then when i came home i spent the rest of the day/night wrapping them and skyping with andrea!!

it's been a good day! 

it's also my last day off until christmas day!!! ahhhh!!! christmas is so close!!!

[changeontheairwaves]

i got my first christmas presents today!!!

after work (average, non eventful) jodie and i went to mcdonalds to meet the boyd's and we had dinner, and then we went to the boyd household and exchanged christmas gifts and it was so much fun!!!!

the boyd's got me a bath bomb set, a terry's chocolate orange and then this little ornament for the christmas tree that says janodie on it and jodie got one too and it's AMAZING!!!

jodie was in her element because she got to hold and play with eli all night and i was in my element because i got to drink tea out of a glee mug while watching harry potter 

today was perfect

[changeontheairwaves]

i had a good day in work today, we got a huge delivery and i got a lot of it cleared so i felt really good about myself at the end of the day!

i was meant to be going to becca and david's tonight with jodie, but the protests meant we couldn't get there and jodie got stuck right in the middle of one 

so we're going tomorrow night instead 

:)

okay so last night judy and i went on that massive ride and i got the bruises and today they are so, so sore omg

anyway, i slept in until 1pm today which felt amazing and then i went to the j1 store to get some hooks and things and then i went to my store to help with the move

tonight i started wrapping my christmas presents! i only have my mum's stocking gifts and all the boyd's presents wrapped and i'm already wrecked! i think it took me 3 hours just to do those ones! i think bought too much =/ woops

[changeontheairwaves]

i worked a 10 hour shift today which went in quite nicely and then we went to the odyssey bowl for the northcott staff do

and it was a really really fun night

i mean, it wasn't a traditional christmas dinner like normal, but we got to go bowling and got food and a round of drinks free so it was well worth the money!

judy and i went on the top buzz at planet fun and i have two massive bruises on my arms because of it

it's really crazy to think that six weeks ago was my first day in the shop with these people, and some of them i hadn't even hired by then, and now we're all kind of really close and i feel really at home with them? i don't know what it is, but they all made me feel welcome and i think everyone's kind of finding their place now and getting the hang of things now that the shop has been open for longer and it's just really nice to work somewhere that feels like a little family even after only a few weeks (i still miss my antrim buddies though, always will)
