still strong even after so long

ok so i had to do it... i havent posted in a terribly long time, and i expect to not post, again, for a longer time. but another year has passed. a very, very good year, and it shouldnt pass unnoticed.

in 2010 i did...

...get that fucking promotion!

...get the papers solidified and change my name back

...find a frame for my bed (there is SPACE under my bed!)

...have my scoliosis improve even more

...successfully captain the softball team

...spent quite a few amazing days with my half-sister & her family

...start to re-learn spanish

...bike to the botanic gardens and back

...was a bridesmaid

...explored more areas & tried more restaurants in chicago

...travel to nyc, matawan, richmond, mn, the rockford-area, and camped all over mid-wisconsin

...and i also happened to fall in love with a wonderful, creative, handsome, and admirable friend (and i do believe him to be quite smitten with me, too!)

i didn't...

...have a (bad) hangover on jan 1st!

...completely figure out the long-term career thing (again...)

...read as much as i wanted

...see avatar in the theater. nope. and i'm very ok with that!

...keep up correspondence with far-away friends as well as i'd wished

...get my shoulders/neck fixed

...find the cash to fix up my car so it keeps on truckin'; it still works, but it's a bit of a bucket at the moment

...keep up the finances as well as i'd hoped

...visit the farmers markets enough

but you know what? the positives outweigh the negatives by a lot, this year. i'm not sure what '11 will bring, but i'm very ready for it.

happy new year!
