It was a good year.
I liked 2008 -- economical issues notwithstanding. But then I'm an annoying Pollyannaish type who -- if you listen to some people -- goes around with her head buried in the sand like an ostrich. But hey, I'm a happy and sane ostrich, and life is too short to freak out about stuff before its time. (Prepare: good. Freak out: bad.)
I feel a list coming on. Here... it... comes.
Good Things About This Year (A Year That Apparently Actually Sucked In Real Life, But What Do I Know)
- We spent it living in our own new home.
- We had a really great time with our garden.
- We even ate some food from our garden.
- We got a dog.
- Or, um, maybe, um, two. But not really. Not yet.
- Good grades! even in the classes I disliked.
- Gas prices! (At the end of the year, not the beginning.)
- We all enjoyed good overall health.
- Nobody broke any bones or required any surgeries.
- We developed a few really lovely traditions, at least one of which involves mass quantities of deliciously unhealthy food.
- My sister-in-law and two of her kids moved to town.
- We had two bathrooms for the first time in our family's history.
- We discovered I Spy.
- I do not know where the rest of this entry went. It vanished into the ether.
