Carrie had a neat idea of posting a link to the first post of each month as a way of reviewing her past year. So, I decided to give it a shot.
January 1 was a meme, so I decided to skip right over to the first “real” post. (Already bending the rules)
January 6 – I HATE being sick!
Yeah, I was sick for most of break, pretty much end of story. Hubby had left for a conference without us (to San Diego!) and I was hoping that we’d all go to one in Boston later in the year instead (we didn’t).
February 1 – SNOW!!
A picture based post. We rarely get enough snow to really play in, but when we do, the sleds come out and we all meet up at the one place in town we can use them (hey, it’s the Midwest!). The best situation for us is when it happens, but the ps kids are still tied up in classes. Then the message goes out and we race to the park. This time we had about 20 kids and lots of fun.
March 3 was a notice about signing up for Pizza Hut’s Book-it program, so I’ll skip it.
March 4 – DST – the discussion continues…
For anyone who wasn’t aware of, prior to just a year or two ago, Indiana didn’t change their clocks – weird, I know. When they started changing them, it appeared to expose the costs involved in using daylight savings time (instead of savings) but the utility company came back with an explanation on why you shouldn’t directly compare them.
April 1 – We’re home
From a quick campus visit to UPitt and then up to Rochester to visit Hubby’s family.
May 1 – I HATE freaking weak ankles!!
Ow! I remember that. It hurt for nearly 2 months and I was nearly ready to see the doctor about what was going on. I don’t think I’ve ever hurt it that badly before.
June 2 – And the end…
Boy was finished and there’s pictures. It’s hard to believe that was half a year ago.
July 1 – I need someone to explain this to me
A bumper sticker that always comes out to me differently than I think what they want to say. Any new thoughts?
August 2 – Ready and waiting
Datter was due to arrive and I was a tad bit nervous on how well it would work out this year. Now halfway through, it’s been a roller coaster at times, but seems to be positive overall.
September 1 – Virtual Dissections
Another short, short post passing on some links to virtual dissections resources.
October 1 – Penny Girl
Girl got rid of her penny collection after years of grabbing any penny that came anywhere near her. I haven’t looked if she’s been refilling her piggy bank.
November 1 -The aftermath, or why nothing special is happening at our house today…
The day after a double-header Halloween Party and about all I could do was veg and talk about it. I was wiped. But the kids had fun (and later I found out that Girl had barely won the Guitar Hero playoff.)
December 1- It SNOWED!
We have not had snow on the ground this early in the near decade that we’ve been living here. It was worth noting and I was hoping for a white Christmas – right. The weather has been totally whacked.
And that’s the year. For whatever reason, most of the posts are very short – I know that there were more interesting ones in there. But Carrie’s rules were to take the first post of the month, so that’s what you got. My year end total number of posts was nearly 350!
What did you think?
