obligatory year in review

Nobody likes to talk about January or February. January is when you make New Year's resolutions. February is when you give up on them. January has consistently been a bad month for me. In fact, this past January, my grandpa passed away. Part of me died as a result. I don't like to talk about it. So, we'll start with March.

No, I take that back. One good thing happened in January. I pretended to go ice fishing.

March:

-We bought a new bed. A Tempurpedic Cloud. So far, it has totally been worth the $2500 we spent.
-I tried making Flan. I failed.
-I remember getting really sick in March. I remember it being so bad that they gave me narcotics. I don't remember much else about that.
-I caught Salem trying to have sex with Kola. In the kitchen. While I was cooking food. We had guests. It was embarrassing.

April:

-I went to the dentist. They discovered that I had a cavity. My only cavity in 27 years of life. I felt like a failure.
-Someone hit my car in the parking lot at Petco. I was angry about that.
-Husband got a root canal. I got my legs waxed.

May:

-We started house hunting. We didn't end up buying a house, by the way.

There you go, that's my year, in a nutshell. I'm sure that more things happened, but I don't remember. Do you know how hard it was to try and remember all of those things? I'm not even positive if it's all correct. I did the best I could. Maybe this next year I can keep better track of things. That's not a New Year's Resolution, by the way. I don't do those anymore.
