Since last we spoke. Here is the Year in Review:
- Obama won. Wheeee! We took the kids to the Inauguration. Froze our butts off but it was totally worth it.
- I didn’t lose my job. Yet, despite massive budget cuts and layoffs. Whee! again
- I got lap band surgery. So far so good, one month out. 20 pounds gone. I would say Whee! but some of that was a clear-liquid diet, which almost did me in.
- We lost several family members and friends, which was so sad and so hard. I went to more funerals in the last year than I have been to in the previous 10 years.
- I Twittered and Facebooked. So far none of my nephews have deleted me from their friend lists so I will regard that as a success.
- I got hit by a drunk driver. Correction, my sexy mini-van got hit by a drunk driver. At 2:30 in the afternoon. On a Wednesday. Parked in front of the post office. She was so drunk she hit another car and two trees before she stopped. If I weren’t so damn angry at her insurance company for jerking me around. I might feel sorry for her.
- No, she wasn’t hurt. Thankfully neither was anyone else.
- My kids started a new school. Private, Catholic Pre-K. And they are loving it. Us too. Still cracks me up when they remind me it is the Blessed Mother’s birthday. Like living with two, small, sticky, male versions of my mother.
- I am still happily married. Although Tom has suddenly sprouted a whole batch of new gray hair. Is it wife-strife?
- I discovered the mind-suck that is The Rachel Zoe project. And my love affair with the Real Housewives blossomed into full on obsession thanks to my Jersey Girls.
I think that sums it up for now. If any of you are still around, Yo.
