Except for a couple trips to see friends, my 2011 was almost entirely forgettable. In 2012, I would like to do more things that are worth remembering.
Posting this after P.-C. only highlights how dull my life has become! AND I'm single.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better
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. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

2011 has been a hang-in-there year. We had intended to move but delayed it one more year. Work has been difficult, but we're both working.
This has also been the first full year Grace has been home. She's gone through so many changes as has Noah. We've had a variety of changes, surgeries, and therapies. Sometimes this year has felt like one giant appointment.
In the coming year, we will have still more surgeries and more appointments. I'd love to finish my Masters as well as do some work to move more into policy from the classroom. I'll also have to re-certify my National Boards which sounds overwhelming. Did I mention we also hope to move?
All in all, I'm ready for 2012 to bring some, I hope, positive changes.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Here's hoping that 2012 is better for everyone, even those that had good 2011s.
I know I could use some good things to happen.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
2011.
Well, it was a year, to be sure, and not exactly uneventful, between the cancer, and Perkins the cat, and the house, and other stuff. I'm glad it's over, but at the same time, I have to believe it is ending on a positive note, and putting me in a good position to have a better 2012.
It's certainly ending on a nice note too, watching Community with -t, with Perkins the Cat curled up next to me, months after he was supposed to be gone.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Happy New Year!!!!
This time last year, I was 40 weeks pregnant. In 4 days, I'll have a 1 year-old. So that's this year in a nutshell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy new year, y'all!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
2011 was pretty good. Work started to move in the direction I wanted. I went to France with the local fangirl contingent (Dr Who and baguettes ftw!). My remaining family stayed reasonably healthy and I was pretty much done with the executrix work for Dad.
On the downside, I learned that I had an inner ear condition that put an end to my flying lessons--lessons I loved to distraction. So summer 2010-summer 2011 ended up being my year of flight, rather than the start of a longer hobby. Now I'm in the market for a new love. I'm not sure what 2012 will be the year of, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Goodbye 2011. Let the screen door pummel you.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Calli, if I didn't say so before, I am so sorry about the flying lessons. I'll echo your wish that 2012 brings you something new and fabulous to love.
