For as much as I bitch, 2010 wasn’t too bad...
The yuck that jumps out at me:
The great stuff?
The yuck that jumps out at me:
- The trip we took to Reno with Husband’s bowling league. It was a week of being cramped with people that I do not like. I spent most of the time drinking so I wouldn’t snap at anyone. Tequila before 10 a.m. is never a good idea. Then again, it was the only way I could deal with Husband getting texts at 7 a.m. from his odd bowling buddy wanting to know what all of our plans were for the day.
- Things changing at my job. New things that I have to do that give me hives by the end of the day. But at least the health insurance is affordable.
- My sweet doggy dying. It was super bad for her at the end but she was old and didn't suffer any more than necessary.
The great stuff?
- The whole week in Vegas. Getting to hang out with Winnie & Charlotte. Totally fucking awesome. The side trips we took while we were there to see the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and Los Angeles. Going to The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil - great seats and I'd never been to something like that.
- Getting to meet bloggy peeps in Reno and Vegas. It was cool to actually hug the people that I’ve gotten to know.
- Running around with my niece for a week in the summer. I picked her up in Oklahoma and she was my partner in crime while we visited friends and family in OK and Texas. It was probably the best vacation “back home” that I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to do it again this year!
- Taking a quick trip to Miami to meet a bloggy peep. Husband was supposed to go but couldn't. Despite the insane traffic, I liked going somewhere "big" like that alone and returning safely. And I don't think I could have properly visited with my friend if Husband was perched on my shoulder.
- Getting to know you three ladies more. You all have kept me sane. For real.
- Going with a couple of the neighbor kids to Disney. They'd only been once before when they were really small so we park-hopped and made a day of it.
- Going to an Insane Clown Posse concert with one of the neighbor girls. Sure, I wasn't crazy about the music but it was neat to see her so excited.
- Getting my finances in order. It’s kind of ugly but we’ve made a lot of headway at getting rid of debt. That feels good.
- Deciding to try and have a baby. I always said that I’d know I wanted to have a baby when my biological clock went off loud and clear and that happened. I was afraid I’d miss its ringing but did not. I’m quietly excited and terrified at the prospect of breeding.

I love your year recap! You have had a kick ass year!
When I started this year, I had secret plans of wanting to go and do things but didn't think they'd pan out because Husband can be so picky. All of my plans happened! Yay!
I just keep thinking how convenient it is that I am learning to knit the same year you are planning to breed. ;) I'm secretly hoping you have a girl. She'll need a red apple knit cap.
I am so glad I have all those baby patterns saved up that I can finally use!
Charlotte does the hat, I'm making things that read "Spawn" for him/her to wear.
And booties. Who doesn't love booties?
