Happy New Year! Apologies for the lack of posts of late- life has been a bit crazy! Now I find myself with some time on my hands, so I thought I would share a fun New Years’ selection of language, appropriate for the ‘New year, new me’ crowd, and anyone who wants to talk about change!
Many people want to ring in the new year with friends and family, a few glasses of bubbly and some good dancing tunes! I, personally, think there’s a bit too much pressure to have fun and I would much rather stay at home and put my feet up.
New Year’s Eve marks the anniversary of my dog’s adoption (or gotcha day, I’ve heard used recently), so we usually celebrate by ordering pizza and going to bed by 10pm!
Many people think that New Years’ is a time to turn over a new leaf, so they make new resolutions to change something in their lives. Maybe they want to work out and lose a few pounds or they’d like to pick up a new language.
What about you? What are your New Year’s resolutions?
- ring in: celebrate or do something to have fun- used usually when something starts
- bubbly: champagne
- put (my/your/his/her/their/our) feet up: relax on a sofa/couch; lie down and relax, not do anything physically draining
- gotcha day: the day you adopt an animal (I got you- I gotcha- gotcha day)
- turn over a new leaf: change something about yourself, make something new, start a new hobby or habit
- work out: exercise
- lose a few pounds: reduce your body weight in small increments
- pick up something/pick something up: learn, adopt, start to do repetitively something new
