2011 -- Two Legs Walking Straight Out of my Life

And a brand new year walking in the door.




In 2011, I gained a healthier diet.

I lost a very dear friend who I still think about every day.

I stopped going to New York as much as I used to.

I started thinking more seriously about what I want to do next.

I was hugely satisfied by my personal relationships.

And frustrated by my October Board meeting.

I am so embarrassed that I lost my cool in front of my boss.

Once again, I barely squeezed past the finish line for NaNoWriMo.

Once again, I did not buy a new pair of brown pants. Maybe this year.

The biggest physical difference between me last December and this December is half a missing toenail! (But it’s growing back, thank goodness).

The biggest psychological difference between me last December and this December is I’m less afraid of...well, everything.

I loved spending time in Georgia.

Why did I spend even two minutes wishing he’d love me the same way I loved him?

I should have spent more time lying on the grass outside in the sun.

I regret buying that black pencil skirt without noticing it didn’t have back vents. Who makes a pencil skirt without back vents?!

I will never regret buying my Nine West blush pumps even though with that money I could have bought two months worth of bus/metro fare.

I shopped way too much.

I didn't write letters enough.

Home repairs drove me crazy.

Was the political scandal reporting crazier than ever last year? Or was it me?

The most relaxing place I went was The Marshall House hotel in Savannah, GA.

I feel so happy when I write that down.

Why did I go to Vermont?

The best thing I did for someone else was help organize their wedding.

The best thing I did for myself was sing along with the radio, driving fast on the back roads with the windows down.

The best thing someone did for me was remind me I can do anything and that “anything” can begin at any time.

The one thing I'd like to do again, but do it better, is my last dinner with Joe.
