2010. Wow. That just sounds weird. Today was the first time I had to actually write it. My mind had to overpower my hand to avoid writing 'o_. And what are people calling it? I have already heard someone say "oh ten". Umm no. I'm leaning towards "twenty ten", I think.
As most every reader of mine knows, we rung in the new year celebrating the nuptuals of Matt & Stacia Plothow. It was one of the best receptions I have been to in quite awhile, I must say. It was the first time that we left our little T-bone overnight, and fortunately there was enough booze on hand to keep me from worrying about her all night. It was so great to see my Chi-town friends. I don't see them near enough these days! Matt & Stacia were great hosts. I'm hoping they do it again next year... Come on! Anniversary party? Lee and I exceeded our own expectations and stayed standing until after 1:30am (thankfully we did not stay up with Barry, Amy and the Reuters).Oh... And... NEWSFLASH... On New Years Day, Lee woke up hungover and I DIDN'T. I felt pretty darn good. Especially after the complimentary hotel breakfast. Hoping this is a trend that sticks around for the whole decade.
I told myself that for my new years resolution I would be cutting back on the sweets. So far, I have made a slight improvement. I had to go ahead and polish off the chocolate covered cherries and carmels from Christmas. I mean. I can't let them go to waste. But, yesterday at the grocery store I avoided the Chips Ahoys, and I avoided dessert when we went for lunch at Spagheddi's. SIGH. Why must the stuff that tastes SO GOOD be SO FATTENING? Some things we have to look forward to this year:
My "golden" birthday. I turn 29 on January 29th.
The Colts winning the Superbowl... Yes?
The final season of LOST. Mixed emotions here.
My cousin Jamie is getting married in Cabo in March (we won't be going - frown).
Purdue going to the Final Four in the NCAA tournament... Please?
Grandma Shirley hits the big EIGHT-OH on March 25th.
Lee finishes up his undergraduate program in March. Just a few credits later and he'll be a college grad. (He has to fill in a science, speech and english.)
Taryn will be turning 1 year old on May 20th.
Lee will be hitting the big THREE-OH on July 23rd.
Lee will be hitting the big THREE-OH on July 23rd.
Jamie & Garret get married August 14th and I am the maid of honor. (I refuse to say matron of honor. It sounds so matronly.)
I will (hopefully) get my first teaching job starting this fall.
Phew!

It was a GREAT time. I agree with you. They need to have another one next year!
It was sooo fun, and I think a Plothow Anniversary party is a great idea!
I am with you on the cutting back on sweets thing. If I just say, "I am going to cut back" then I never will, so I have decided that I cannot have sweets during the week - just weekends. We will see how it works - if I eat cookies for every meal, then I will have to adjust.
Hopefully Lee showers you with gold for your golden birthday. Because I know that what every girl wants is a golden shower on their golden birthday!
