Thats the sound of Oh Nine kissin' my behind.
It has seriously has been one of the saddest years in a long time.
As a culture, we lost some great icons & way too many soldiers in war.
As a friend, everyone I hold dear has experienced personal tragedy in the last 12 months.
As a family, we lost our Granny and beloved Billy (my brother in law & boys's favorite uncle "UB").
I won't say there wasn't anything to be thankful for this past year (hello: G-Bunny's high school graduation, me fleeing the confines of the fish factory, our health, friendships found, and friendships re-built) and there have certainly been darker times (like ten years ago when our angel baby Kaitlyn said goodbye before we ever got to say hello) but I just can't express how ready I am for a clean slate.
And how about TWENTY TEN anyways? Has it really been a decade since we thought life as we knew it would halt? When newcasters warned us that bank accounts would freeze and VCR's would self-implode ~ all because of a rollover date to 00? To be honest, I didn't drain a dime from my account and I didn't buy a word of the hype, not even a vowel. I was secretly hoping that our VCR would implode so that I could finally convince my
But as a kid? Totally different story. When imagined the year 2010 I pictured zipping around in my space-car (like the Jetsons), living in a floating, round apartment building (like the Jetsons), and bossing my robot-maid Rosie around (like the Jetsons). The only thing I didn't like about my futuristic "like the Jetsons" life was being married to stick-in-the-rear George or naming my kid Elroy. Nope. My hawt husbands name was going to be Dweezil and our boy Tazz. So what if it didn't rhyme?
All in all, I guess we have gotten pretty futuristic - what with our iPhones (not that I have one) and iPods and Wii's and laptops with WiFi and the ability to instantly communicate with friends just about anywhere at just about any time. That's pretty awesome.
But you know what's weird? Among all these cool gadgets, my very favorite pastime remains one from centuries & centuries ago...crocheting. A simple hook and a ball of merino.
Anyways, I hope that all of you beautiful blogland people have a healthy & prosperous year in 2010. My own biggest hope is than we are blessed so that we may be a blessing. If that makes sense. Feeling kinda mushy right now....don't tell anyone.
With any luck, the rain will hold off and we can take the kids to the downtown celebration tonight!
