I shamelessly copied Margaret and posted the first bits from the first posts of each month of the year. I’m not sure how telling this is, because unlike a year or two ago, I now have a more difficult time writing openly on my blog. Also, so many of my posts are a whole bunch of junk muddled into one entry that I’m probably listing the easiest stuff to write about, since my first sentences tend to be that way. Anyway, I thought it was a cool idea, and a chance to review the year, just a little. The first bit from this exact day last year was a bit of foreshadowing, I think.

1/1/09–I’ve just been loving the vacation from school lately. Although, subconsciously I know I’m going back soon, since I woke up to a dream of my boss chewing me out and me quitting on the spot.

2/9/09–This absolutely sucks. Yesterday, I “did something” to my back while I was cleaning and moving stuff around in the living room.

3/6/09–Take some baked chicken and chop into bite
size pieces, add a package of frozen mixed vegetables (or whatever leftover veggies are in
the fridge) and a can of cream of mushroom soup.

4/12/09–I’m sitting here listening to Aaron Goldberg, because his complex jazz tunes make me feel more sophisticated than lonely.

5/10/09–A few minutes ago, I rescued this ladybug from a bucket of some sort of sludge that Greg has left in the front flowerbed.

6/8/09–I’ve never been all that into watching YouTube videos, but I’ve seen the light. I LOVE how you can type in the name of a stitch that you need to learn (today it’s a ladder stitch) and a nifty demonstration comes right up. Bless these people for doing this!

7/13/09–I had to get some stuff off my chest, but I couldn’t just leave that out there. Not with evil frenemies lurking about looking for something to gossip about! If you want the password, let me know.

8/19/09–My black moleskine has been seeing some action lately. I have so much going on that it’s just too much to blog about without feeling overwhelmed, so I write it down there instead.

9/5/09–I just went on a Cowboy Junkies binge, no pun intended. I was singing Working on a Building at the top of my lungs, and then ended up ordering five of their CDs.

10/3/09–I got inspired yesterday by a post I read about heroes and English class. It made me think about how an alternative program such as the one I teach in would benefit greatly from an English class that focuses on heroes.

11/01/09–I’ve been having vivid dreams lately. Early this morning, I met a man who had been working for himself since 1981. If I believed in “guides,” I’d have to say he was one.

12/4/09–Anytime we’ve been at home today, Sage has been badgering me to check The Weather Channel to see exactly when it is going to snow.
