I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas!
Early yesterday morning we exchanged a few little gifts, and most importantly gave the dogs and cat their pressies. Shavez was sooo funny, his stocking had a sqeaky ball in it - he just LOVES this ball - he takes it with him everywhere and will not let it out of his sight! He's like a little kid with his dolly. It looks so funny to have this great big dog carrying a little ball everywhere. Even when he's sleeping he has to have the ball resting beside his face LOL...
We then went for breakfast with OH's family, where we did had a lovely BBQ breakfast out on the deck. Then the kids hit the pool, and OH chased them around and squirted them with water pistols - he is just like a big kid himself really.We then headed home at lunchtime and my parents came around. I enjoyed a glass or two of bubbles, and then all of OH's family arrived for a dinner time BBQ.
Santa was good to me this year - OH got me a Polar F11 heart rate monitor...
I got the blue one, and I cant wait to start using it! I've been playing with it this morning, and I'm amazed with all the features its got. Its much puuurtier than my old black Polar, which has copped an absolute hiding over the years. I think I will be doing well to use even half of the features on this new one though - but its just so lovely!OH's family also lashed out and got me some diamond cluster earrings... real diamonds too so I was most impressed! Musta been a good girl in my past life!
I'm having a week off weight training this week, so it will be good to get back into it. It will be good when the gym is back to normal hours too! So the dogs will be getting lots of walkies this week, and I may go for a few jogs too. Only two more weeks of being a lady of leisure - I cant believe how quickly 5 weeks has gone already! Actually I'm really looking forward to starting my new job, it will be good to have something to sink my teeth into.
Anyway, I hope you are all enjoying some relax time at the moment, I'm off to read some blogs!

Hey Hilary
You will love your polar hrm. I have the same one and love it. I just need to start using it again. I'll be glad when my gym's hours are normal again as well.
Sound like you had a great christmas.
Hope you have a nice new year.
Take care

I know what you mean about the difficulties of being a "lady of leisure". It's so cruel that the times when we are most inspired to do things are when we cannot due to work or other commitments!
I must say I find that I am able to "waste" a lot of time reading, surfing the net and watching DVD's though! All of which are great as long as I don't indulge in the snacks to go with them :)
Happy New Year Hilary :) Hope you enjoy your HRM as much as I enjoy mine.
Hugs
