I love Boxing Day!

Although I love Christmas, I don't think anything can beat the "chilled out" feeling I seem to always have on Boxing Day. It is teeming with rain, the girls are playing with their presents (Miss G is drawing on a sketch pad and Miss S is playing Mario Kart on the Wii. We're all still in our PJs at 10am after having a rather lazy breakfast of croissants, smoked salmon and tropical fruits and some Melbourne Breakfast tea.

This makes me wonder, after all the Christmas madness, how anyone can be possessed to go shopping on Boxing Day. Though I will admit to eyeing off the David Jones Stocktake Catalogue in today's paper. I'm hoping to get some really good non stick cookware - the sort where you can even use a metal utensil and it doesn't affect it whatsoever (I hope these pans exist!). Also hoping to pick up a nice bedroom duvet set for our new bed and the new house.

Speaking of the house, it looks now to be February when we move in. The house has been rendered and painted and the concrete for the driveway is going to be poured in the middle of January. We have to fit the lights, put the oven and dishwasher in, polish the wooden floors and organize curtains and carpets. Luckily, we've picked the type and colour of carpet which is a great time saver. The theme of the house is blue and cream - both hubs and I love blue and we laughed at how we both seem to gravitate towards blue things - probably because blue is such a relaxing colour.

I haven't decided when my next workout will be - I had plans not to train until Wednesday when I have to teach RPM and Step again but after a good rest today, who knows - I might feel up to a run tomorrow. Sometimes we forget the importance of recovery and getting away from the gym or the studio or whatever. Seems to be testament to the fact that we all love to be in equilibrium!

Almost forgot to say I had a lovely Christmas Day - Santa brought me a chair for the study as well as some foot massage cream and a lovely wooden massager.

I hope Santa brought you some lovely gifts too!
