2010 Recap

Jo-Lynne is hosting the annual Blog Recap Carnival and I decided to join in.  Here is the first sentence from each month this year on my blog!

January
"After reading Mandi's post today, I figured I needed to set some goals for this blog in 2010! "

Yeah..probably need to do this again..in fact, I may just use the same goals!

February
"I leave for Blissdom in two days...that means I only have two days to finish getting ready for my trip!"

That was an exciting post...and Blissdom is less than a month away, so I'm getting excited all over again! 

March
"After last week's snow, today's warm temperatures were delicious!"  


Ahh, my first garden post of the year...this year our house will be on the market, so I plan to put in a very small garden, just to show the potential.


April
"Not-what-you'd-expect healthcare post :: :: ::  Health Care Schmealth Care by Scribbit"

This was a Saturday Stumbles post!

May

"We recently bought a new grill because the parts to fix our old one  would have been at least $100- no thanks. "

One of my favorite posts- the few weeks when we watched baby birds in our grill grow from practically fetuses into birds that could fly away.

June
 "So, I've been reading Kathy's "Losing It" posts for some time now. "

...and I should do more than just read them...

July
"We just got back from a wonderful, two week vacation to New Mexico to see my 2 month old twin nieces."

Ahh, a wonderful trip with great memories!

August
I didn't post a single post in August!  Why?  Because I'm a teacher and we started school at the beginning of August. This is the first year I have taught inclusion so the beginning of the year was doubly hard.

September

"Tyler has been found safe!" 

This was an emotional night as a friend in California's mentally ill, teenage son ran away from his rehab center...the first sentence is actually the edited version, as I removed his info.

October
"If you are in the Atlanta area on October 23rd, make sure you come to the Once a Month Mom Tweet-Up 2010.' 

This was fun, but I was sick at the Tweet-Up...so I couldn't hang with the sisterchicks.  :(

November
'Last month, I was sifting through the shirts at Goodwill (where I often find great Hollister shirts for my 11 year old!) when I picked up a fabulous long-sleeved Abercrombie shirt in my daughter's size."

My non-sponsored post in which I sing the praises of Dawn!

December
"On Monday I had my tonsils and adenoids removed as well as some pretty big sinus surgery. "

The post in which I try to make myself not be sick all the time by having a pretty horrific surgery.

I hope you join me next year for more adventures from The Violet Fig!
