Gee whiz. It’s 2012 already.
Twelve years since the Y2K scare and we moved to Uzbekistan and I graduated from high school.
Eleven years since I met my Rosedale girls.
Ten years since I struck out on my own in Columbus.
Nine years since I worked at Papyrus.
Eight years since I’ve been to Uzbekistan and started at OSU.
Seven years since I lived with the Nathans.
Six years since I met Deryck.
Five years since I moved back to Cincinnati.
Four (almost) years since I got married.
Three years since we moved to *this* side of Glenway Ave.
Two years since I found out I was pregnant.
One year since Maggie was born.
And BAM! Suddenly it’s 2012!
I never really make official resolutions, but like everyone else I always try to “do better” when the old year rolls over into the new one. I’m going to read more (thank you, Kindle). I’m going to finish reading through the Bible Genesis to Revelation (currently in Psalms). I’m going to eat healthier. I’m going to focus on making art again. I’m going to brush up on my Russian and Uzbek (even as I write that, I’m kind of laughing incredulously at my own blind optimism). I’m going to plan, plant, and harvest a glorious garden. I’m going to make Maggie’s flower girl dress for Sus and Zach’s wedding in August. I’m going to finish writing another book. I’m going to go on a vacation with my family (we’re hoping for Charleston and Savannah). I’m going to potty train Maggie, if she so desires. I’m going to graduate at last!!
That’s enough for now. Maybe next January I’ll look back at this hopeful little post and let you know which of the above I’ve accomplished.
Until next time!
