hello december
i cannot believe it is this time of year again
the last month of oh! eight for me equals;
late night hang outs with simon, picking up my tailored clothes, photo shoots with my girls, ginger with ellen, packing for sydney, organising my best friends kitchen tea and hens night, being a maid of honor, not tripping down the aisle or saying anything inappropriate, being nice when i get back to sydney, summer nights stargazing, driving up the coast to a beach house holiday, returning to shanghai for a white christmas, family and friends on christmas day, best friend visitors before new year. best
