the year in livejournal meme
I changed this meme. I chose interesting sentences from the first entry of each month, 'cause mine was too boring otherwise.
January: Comment on the time wrinkle that Mom seems to get trapped in, that keeps her out for much longer than she thinks she'll be out.
February: February must be Bad Driving on I-95 Month, as we have encountered more accidents in the past two days than I remember seeing in a long time.
March: The snowfall yesterday was wet, so close to the freezing point, and every branch of every tree has a thick coating of snow.
April: I am ready to just stretch out in a sunbeam and take a nap.
May: The memories of the service that will persist are probably the smell of the incense, the sound of one of those little paper windmill toys that kids carry around, the chanting of the sensei type person who led the ceremony, and everyone taking their turns burning stuff and then later sprinkling dirt into the hole that held the ashes.
June: but, my reward is a phone interview on monday for a whole new job.
July: With our twentysomething dollars, we came home from farmers' market with a dozen eggs, a head of lettuce (picked this morning, according to the sign), broccoli, baby carrots, sour cherries, blueberries, apricots, a variety basket of squash, red garlic, a baguette, and two scones (which didn't actually make it home since we ate them in the car).
August: Spent the afternoon spinning, watching Will and Grace, and being full, then headed out to the local, old-school theater, to see March of the Penguins, which I highly recommend.
September: watched two movies (in good company and being julia), did some cleaning, finished sudoku, slept til 930. in reverse order. dreamed that cassie got bitten by a whale while swimming, and couldn't jump any more due to the injury.
October: Last week's club was great, though -- I found fabulous bingos -- DI(A)LECTS for a double-double; RERACKS with the K on a DLS in the TWS column; SUNDIAL; DE(N)TUREs; (T)ERRINES; ASS(I)GNED; OUTRIDE, ABORTED, and the phony UpDRIFT* -- not bad for three games.
November: Trip to NYC (10-12), visit from u4ic(22-27), the slowing of the premed calendar, closing on the house (28), building the first fire in the fireplace, increased ingestion of stuffed squash and soup, getting fillings replaced and cavity fixed, packing, hiring contractors, finding renters, class registration,
closure to UMBC work.
December: Twenty-four is the age I'm stuck at in my head.
