2009 in review...
* got a bit better at cooking, and started a food blog.
* froze my ass off in January, suffered heavy-rain-spring-like weather all the way through June, sweltered through 2 weeks of humid heat, broke down and bought an air conditioner, promptly caught a cold from cooling off near said air conditioner, remarked widely and profanely about the freakishly warm autumn and winter weather (71 degrees, on Halloween, SERIOUSLY?), and am now caching food as though there will be the Mother of All Blizzards descending on New England soon.
* flew to the Southwest and spent a whirlwind week hiking and driving about all manner of natural wonders.
* discovered and started playing poker (badly, so far, but I'm slowly getting better -- if I can just tone down my tendency to BE STUPIDLY IMPULSIVE WITH BAD CARDS).
* remained celibate.
* discovered what a claddagh ring was and did not pursue someone who was wearing one, sigh (this with a subtext of discovery that many men are completely idiotic jerks).
* found what I think might be my dream house, and now just have to actually pursue it (assuming that it is, in fact, still on the market); of course, there's the problem of whether or not it's actually resellable if I ever want something a bit larger (it's only 2 bedrooms).
* worked a ton.
