Mish-mash of 2008
Stealing the idea from Sarakastic, who stole it from Stacy and Beck, I decided to sum up my blogging in 2008 with a twist: I’ve taken the first line from the last post of every month and will try to merge them into an intelligible paragraph or two below…
Jan: Today was a big potty day at Mother’s Day Out.
Feb: Happy Leap Day!
Mar: I never watch the morning talk shows (unless I just happen to catch a couple minutes), and I never, ever watch the The Early Show.
Apr: I was lucky enough to be offered an early reader’s copy of Trish Ryan’s book, He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not: A Memoir of Finding Faith, Hope, and Happily Ever After.
May: Taking a quick break from the edits…
Jun: Of course we have a wonderful zoo in Houston, and it’s getting better all the time, but it’s stuctured and straight-laced and near downtown.
Jul: A good friend of mine is about to have her third child, a boy.
Aug: Compared to normal, I must say, this weekend was a culinary fiesta around here!
Sep: I’m resigned to the reality that I didn’t accomplish what I’d intended to over the summer.
Oct: Is it just me, or is Target just a black hole with a bulls-eye?
Nov: Whew! I’m back.
Dec: I finished reading Kiki Strike: The Empress’s Tomb (loved it!) and couldn’t help but go browsing around (again!) on Kiki’s website.

GAK! That’s awful, but a retrospective nonetheless.

That’s pretty funny. It took me a second to understand what you were doing, but I got it. I’m just a little slow on the catch.

i hesitate to do the same since i sound incoherent on a regular basis. a blog based on all my incoherent ramblings would probably be an overload. everyone would have to go to group therapy.
hope the holidays were fabulous! happy 2009!

Target should use that as their new slogan because it’s so true.

Actually, that works pretty well

Just wanna say thank you for visiting! Hope you had an awesome holiday!

That was too fun – I totally had to steal it.

That is a totally cool twist! So funny.

I’m afraid to do the retrospective thing.

Wow! What fun! Even though I didn’t have any big potty days in 2008, I might have to steal your idea.

I love this idea and I’m thinking I’m going to do it on my blog, of course giving props back to you.

that was a neat idea! it looks as though there may be a trend starting!
but i have to go along with virgina as i also sound incoherent on a regular basis…
peace
