I was going to write a long blog entry about the year that is just wrapping up, maybe answer a bunch of questions like Gillian does every year (now that is dedication!) but I found myself losing interest in answering them around #5. I just can’t lie on those things and telling the truth could get me in a lot of trouble, so why bother?
This is what 2009 was about for me: the absolute highest highs and the lowest lows. I experienced pure, unadulterated joy and rock bottom, brutal sadness. I felt about as angry as I ever have and fear to the point where I thought I might pass out. The longest non-family relationship I’d had ended and I’ve done more traveling this year than any other year of my life. I have loved, laughed, cried, cooked, knitted, sang, snorkeled, danced, skated and flown.
The word to describe 2009 is not ‘meh’ it’s the opposite of that, whatever word that might be. Challenging? Rewarding? Educational? I don’t know.
Anyway. I also figured out how to make pom poms the other day and I have made a bunch for all of us:
I know, eh? You thought those skates couldn’t get any cooler, right? Ta-da!
Also, pom poms for Ari’s ice skates, and one on the tip of Shannon’s xmas hat:
If my skates had had those damn pom poms, I’d have them still. :(
glad I was there for you for some of the good times and bad, glad to see you have gotten thru them, 2010 will be your best year ever, of that I have no doubt!
I love you sis
xoxoxo
Megs
ps, still super jealous of the skates!
I hear ya! 2009 was well let’s just say bitch shall we ;)
Thank God its over, or well almost anyway! Here’s to you and Shannon and I hope you both have a prosperous new year filled with nothing but awesome worthwhile things :)
