On our way to the Christmas party!

---

That was one of the most satisfying finales to The Amazing Race ever! (Yes, including the douchey Notre Dame guy coming in last.)

---

Last minute wardrobe change for today’s work Xmas party. Demure and Age-Appropriate swapped for Sparkly Punk Princess. #promdressstillfits

---

Me and Aussie Santa at the office today. He gave me a giant Toblerone!

---

Just completed a 6.84 km run with RunKeeper – Better! Legs still wrecked tho, so I did 3:1 R/W.

---

Hooray! New niece Olivia is born! 7lb 4oz. Congrats and WELL DONE to Kara and Ant.

---

RT @gilmae: And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards the WACA to be born? #theashes

The Snook and I are thinking of competing.

Just completed a 6.04 km run with RunKeeper – Injuries preclude any thought of speed. Just trying to survive til the end.

Snook’s Conspiracy Theory: the Poms used Hurley in a sting operation to derail Warnie’s comeback and, hence, our recovery of the Ashes.

Merry Christmas from Bazinga the Reindeer! #knittersguild

---

Picked up one of Spudds’s awards! He said nice things about me (and @lemon_lime!).

---

Just completed a 6.92 km run with RunKeeper – First 3K was walk/jog with heavy backpack. Slow. I’m sore all over.

---

We deluded ourselves that Amy missed Petey. She’s been hissing at him since we got back from the vet. Hisses of HAAAATE.

---

Just completed a 5.46 km run with RunKeeper – Shorter one. It’s HOT, and my foot is unexpectedly sore. :(.

---

No, America, we do *not* all hang out at McCafe. Most Australian coffee-drinkers wouldn’t be caught dead in one.
