10 Reasons 2012 Will Be Awesome


I know it’s a little early to be thinking about next year, but if stores can start stocking Christmas goods in October then surely I’m allowed to indulge in a little positive forward thinking?

I’m the first to admit I won’t be sorry to see the end of 2011 and it got me thinking about all the things I have to look forward to in 2012 and why my 30th year is surely going to be an awesome one.

So, in no particular order…

Winter wonderland…

Would you like to know the cure for the post-Christmas blues?  A log cabin, in the forest, with a hot tub.  No phone, no internet, no people, just plenty of books, wine and chocolates.  A perfect January getaway.  Plus, I can go hunting for Anomolies in the forest.  If you don’t understand that reference you should probably be proud.  If you do, welcome to the land of the geek.

May the odds be ever in your favour…

The Hunger Games hits the big screen.  I could not be more excited.

The Irish are coming…

And we are going.  Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish are heading to Dublin, and so are we.  Ok, so this may be more awesome for my husband than for me, but still, a city break is a city break, and I’ll take any excuse to buy merchandise.

Let’s gather together in a field and have a chat…

And let’s hope that’s not how the Twilight Saga comes to an end.  After becoming briefly disillusioned with the badly adapted series, Breaking Dawn Part 1 has restored this Twilighter’s faith – let’s see what they can do for the grand finale.


Destination Anywhere…

Destination Braehead Arena, actually, to see the stars of The Commitments in their 21st anniversary tour. 

Green is good…

Kermit and co are finally making their way back to the big screen in February, and I have a special Muppets t-shirt all picked out.  Yes, I’m aware that makes me a bit sad.


Destination Anywhere Part II

For the first time since 2007, we do not have a trip to Walt Disney World planned for the immediate future.  2012 will be (hopefully) the year of late deals, last minute trips to anywhere that takes our fancy and, if I am very lucky, maybe even that dream trip to Boston…

Out with the old, in with the new…

2012 will be the year I de-clutter my life, dispose of the excess baggage taking up space and kick the bad habits.  Including the use of terrible clichés.


My name is Elizabeth and I’m a published author…

The power of positive thinking.  The power of positive thinking.  The power of positive thinking. 

And finally, it’s the end of the world as we know it…

Surely 2012 will provide us with some more highly entertaining apocalypse preparation.  Or at the very least another terrible yet oddly compelling blockbuster. 

Yip, it's going to be awesome.
