Farther along, Rebecca will know all about it... right?
Yesterday was Grandma's deathiversary. At services this evening, the lay leader read her name from the bema as part of the yahrzeit list. That was hard. In recent years, the start of a new year always depresses me, and this didn't help. I have to remind myself that there are still good times to be had. NCIS will be back with new episodes next week, and that's just what I need to distract me from all this funk. (Also at services this evening, I sat in the back and crocheted plarn through the whole thing.)
Below the cut is another list for 2012, of young actress movies that I saw that year. (Last year's list is here.) Once again, I kinda dropped the ball on watching one a month.
Young actress movies Rebecca watched in 2012:
1) Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012), Quvenzhane Wallis.
2) Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010), Bailee Madison.
3) Hanna (2011), Saoirse Ronan.
4) The Hunger Games (2012), Willow Shields & Amandla Stenberg. * = saw in theater
5) Les Miserables (2012), Isabelle Allen. *
6) The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976), Jodie Foster.
7) The Possession (2012), Natasha Calis & Madison Davenport. *
8) Sinister (2012), Clare Foley. *
9) We Bought a Zoo (2012), Elle Fanning & Maggie Elizabeth Jones.
And finally, my 2012 in a nutshell: Grandma died. Sable died. We moved. I learned how to crochet with plastic bags. I discovered and became scarily obsessed with the musical Les Miserables. We got Tovah. I spent a week at a wonderful Jewish summer camp. I joined Big Brothers Big Sisters, which I'm proud of myself for, even if the experience hasn't been exactly what I'd expected. I served as a lay leader at my temple. Just think, at this time last year, I had never crocheted with or even heard of “plarn,” and the only song I knew from Les Miserables was “I Dreamed a Dream!” CRAZY!
Also, I probably ate more peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches and bananas in 2012 than I did over the rest of my life combined. And I have no idea why I felt that was noteworthy.
Right now I'm trying to think up something to do with Briana soon. I'm almost starting to feel like I'm banging my head against a wall. Literally all she ever wants to do is go to the mall. I don't know how much more I can take of that place! *grinds teeth*
