So I'm thinking about the year that was, and looking back as we tend to do as we prepare to begin another one, and I am pleased to say that it was damn fine year in many ways. Oh sure, we're all doomed to poverty and endless economic suffering for years to come ~ but hey, we went places and accomplished things as well this year. So here's my quick recap of the year in retrospect (before my brain erases all the files and says - What trip to Tahoe?)
In January, we went to Tahoe and had a blast in the snow with my parents & Teri + Elijah and the Goodrich family (we even watched the NFL play off game & some great flix like The Last Mimzy).
I coached my first Odyssey of the Mind team at Glenview, problem #3 - The Muses!
I survived my last year of teaching preschool at Ducks Nest with a crazy bunch of four year olds that became very dear to me...
The kids survived and had fun at several summer camps over the summer ...
We also had a great trip back east in July ~ I got sunburned in Michigan, spent time in Metamora, traveled by car to Canada & we rode the Maid of the Mist by Niagara Falls ~ swam in my brother's pool ~ had lots of Salmon!
Began working for Sanrio!
Became obsessed with pencils in September ~
Went to Gerry Beyer's wedding at the Cliff house ~
Bought a Toyota Prius ~ AND ...
Got hired as a permanent employee of Sanrio as a fulltime web designer!
Yeah ~ you could say it was a good year - and it was!
