So, it’s almost 2012. Freaky. It’s been a whirlwind, to say the least. It’s very in vogue to recap your year in the bloggy world… meh. Ok.

We went places, we did stuff, I started a new business, Hubs had some work stuff, the kids were crazy, then Funk started Kindergarten, Noise started 2nd grade, and Squeak started preschool. They did wonderfully, my sewing business really took off, Hubs had some more work stuff, and then there were some holidays. Which brings us to… now. 

Down sides of 2011: a lot of people I know lost their jobs, cancer continued to suck donkey balls, I gained rather than lost weight, and in general I came into the realization that some people are just douche nuggets. 

Up sides of 2011: Hubs and I kept our jobs, we didn’t get cancer, we had (more than) enough to eat, I have healthy kids and good friends, and I made up the word “douche nugget.” 

I think I can safely say that for a lot of people– with a few caveats like having babies, or getting a great job, for example– 2011 was a really crappy year. I personally don’t feel that way– I had a decent year. Sometimes it sucked, sometimes it was awesome, but on the whole I think I’d place it solidly in the “OK” column. It was so okay that I even went off my meds (I can’t tell you whether this was an “up side” or “down side” of 2012, because it was hard and continues to be something I’m still not completely sure I should have done.)

I’d like to blog more this year. I used to come around here a lot. But… I don’t know. I have a lot to say. But it turns out, what I *really* have is a long list of bitchy gripes. And bitching about it on the internet used to be a lot more fun when I was at work 8-10 hours a day. So, we’ll see. Maybe I should just get all my bitchy gripes out in one post, and just piss everyone off at once. Rip it off like a band-aid, right?
