Goodbye and Good Riddance 2010: Don't Let the Door Hit Ya...
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2010? We have a few words for you.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Thinking of you, -t, and sending all kinds of warm, fuzzy vibes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
You've been in my heart so much these past months, -t. I can't see that changing.

My sekrit santa gift arrived today. Lovely card and nom nom nom treats.
Thank you so much, secret buffista person.

Kat! I am delighted that it arrived! Even if it took FOREVER! I hope the treats were still okay, I didn't expect them to be in transit for so long. There's a second package on the way too, with hopefully nothing that can go bad!
ETA that I think the post both ways has been slightly ridiculous - My gift from my SIL arrived today with a postmark of the 10th Dec.

Jars, it's still delicious! I had a piece (maple, yes? It tastes mapley to me but my tastes buds are all askew).
It's been a crazy weather time so I understand that the post has been sort of wacky too. No worries!

Yep, it's maple! There were strong hints that you were a maple fan...

I received a Fed Ex package... And in it was a lovely necklace with a hand enameled flower blossom, made by an artisan in... wait for it... Thailand! I think I have my first clue. The necklace is lovely, and I have an actual picture of it, but on my home computer.
Thank you Secret Santa!,

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
My 2010 has been good for the most part. Interesting at the very least.
I started the year trying to accept my daughter's engagement, though there were things about her fiance that bugged. I tried to operate under the "if she is happy, I'm happy" and "I only see bits of their relationship". Then during her spring break we ended up buying a wedding dress and I had finally made my way to accepting the situation. Finally summer came and she discovered that he was a lying, cheating, douche bag. She handled the end of the relationship much better than expected and I think she is a much stronger person now having gone through all that. For my part it was very hard to let go of the desire for vengeance.
I spent a good part of the year working to find a good balance of thyroid meds and getting health stuff under control. The last few months saw me feeling much better, now I just need to regain some cardio fitness. Karate has plugged along. I didn't make great progress, but I didn't quit either.
Through all this, CJ has turned into a true teenager. Monosyllabic speech and all - though I call him on it all the time. He has also matured and enjoyed the challenges from school. While the whole pencil stabbing was an unfortunate incident, he has grown from the experience.
My job has been a steady constant. I receive a promotion and nice raise which helped validate my move to this position. I have expanded my skills, working with more schedules. I have also worked from home a lot without any static from the office.
Only real downsides have been the non-expansion of my circle of meat-space friends and the lack of male company. Hopefully that will take a turn in 2011.
