Well, I think it's pretty clear that the holiday season took a definite toll on my free time and my blogging. There is a big hole between right before Thanksgiving and today, but this is how it goes I guess. In any case, I figure New Year's Eve is as good a time as any to reflect on the year that's gone by and think about what's ahead.
It was definitely one of the more eventful years I've had and I'm really glad I was able to document most of it on this blog. I certainly didn't expect such an eventful year to happen 12 months ago. As much as I dislike reading myself, I am glad I've been able to keep track of a few memories along the way.
I started out the year in Honduras. Back then, I was hoping it would be at most another year before I was able to return but sadly it won't happen this time around. With any luck I'll be visiting home sometime in 2011. I miss my family and my friends and Christmas is just not the same not being home, though I can't complain about having spent Christmas with Rock and his family surrounded by yummy food, neat presents, and an intermittent day-long WoW playing session.
But, anyway, some other events: i had my septoplasty, which has been a great improvement; shortly after that, Rock and I tied the knot, assisted by Subie, and even my mom, sister, and brother were able to travel up here for it; Rock and I finally went to Disney World and had the most awesome vacation, even if he was afraid on the plane the whole time; and we rounded out the year by finally taking a big plunge and buying a house.
I guess I can't really say what 2011 will bring, but I do know this: if all goes well, we are done living in communal quarters in two weeks! No more people blasting t.v. at all hours, running up and down stairs, or bringing their loud friends over. We get a whole new list of problems but I am certainly looking forward to being a home-owner.
I'm hoping there's a trip to Honduras in there somewhere. At the least, there is a trip to Chicago for my sister's wedding. Other than that, I guess I don't know.
There is at least one new thing happening for me next year. I'll be joining this crazy crowd called Pajiba as they undergo their traditional Cannonball read. I first became aware of the site and Cannonball through my friend Figgy. She doesn't know it, but part of the inspiration for this blog came from her and her blog and reading her reviews and really liking what she did with it. Anyway, I figured since I was already having a good time reading and reviewing books, I might as well join the community that hooked me into it. I don't think this means the rate of reviews will go up, however :(
Happy New Year everyone.
