Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 15 (Sunday 15 January) -

Today I finally packed away all the Christmas stuff.

I had pulled the tree down during the week one night while I watch two episodes of Eureka - yes I think I missed the whole point of chilling and relaxing and watching my favourite TV show - and mostly organised things neatly around, not in, the red and green boxes I used to store things. So today it all got re-sorted (after many years of me just packing things into the nearest box) so all the tinsel is together in one box with the baubles and lights - no searching through 10 boxes to find it all! - and all the ornaments without boxes were all in bubble wrap and together.

It was feat of massive reorganisation my friends, and helped greatly by a Darrell Lea milk chocolate reindeer that lost its life to make it all happen. He died a good death.

(Oh and by the way a great way to lose weight. I sweated like there was no tomorrow!)

Once showered, I made up a new dish - Paprika Chicken on Quinoa (a South American protein that is a protein not a carb so I love it!) - and it actually turned out really well. Not that I thought that at first since I was in a bit of a funk over the car and everything looked less than pretty as a result. Turns out it tasted good, and everyone (my gorgeous guy and my house mate Aidan) loved it.
