I woke up this morning (okay 11:30am) to a barrage of excited and mainly positive sentiments regarding the new year via various social media. If I hadn't been sick for the past four days with the worst cold in years, I might have given more thought to the turning of the tides of time. Some people don't even give the changing of the year a second thought. My better half considers it "just another day" and we end up falling asleep at 10, forgetting to even say the perfunctory "Happy new year" before shutting off the light. But I feel like 2012 deserves some mention.
-My kids turned 3. Every day I can't believe how big they are getting and how it seemed like yesterday when they were tiny little wrinkly bundles.
-I discovered Game of Thrones. Don't laugh! I have been bereft of a good book series since Harry Potter finished.
-Wayne and I added butter chicken to our regular rotation of meals. Simple, tasty food is key.
-I have started a music project with a friend. I have a new outlet for creativity and some of the stuff we've come up with has been pretty good so far. My buddy is very skilled at the guitar, so it's also a bit of a validation for me to be able to keep up.
-Goes hand in hand with the previous point, bought a new bass.
-I met Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman and it was one of the coolest moments ever.
-My kid got his head stuck in a dvd case. (Ok not stuck, but I just think this picture is funny)
-We communed with nature and I caught a 5lb bass
-I lost over twenty pounds (and was also Nancy Spungen for Halloween)
-I dyed my hair purple (and still can't get it together to take a proper photo of it)
-And I managed to keep the love of my life. (not that there was any danger of losing him!)
And that was my year. Mind you, it had a few low moments but luckily there weren't many.
I guess if I have to pick a resolution for 2013, it will be to continue making music, to blog more, to put more focus into my 'marriage', to set a date and plan the wedding, and most important to me, to keep my kids fed, clothed, comfortable, happy, and loved.
I hope this year bodes well for you all. I'd raise a glass but I ran out of wine and I'm still too sick to move that much!
