The Best of 2009





2009 was bittersweet, mostly sweet. It was refreshing to ring in the New Year with old and new friends, at an establishment that I so lovingly patronize. As the new year begins, I'd like to pay homage to some of my favorite things about 2009...


This book helped deliver me from my "reading rut." For so long, I felt like reading for pleasure was a form of procrastination. This being said, 2009 holds significance as the year I finished my long-awaited Masters in School Counseling. It took me way, longer than it should have, but it's a huge relief. 


Miles has been a huge inspiration to me this year. His enthusiasm and passion for his job led me to rekindle the love I have for mine. I was able to start fresh and new at a brand new school, and I've had a new found energy for teaching, exploring new techniques instead of falling into routine.

Glad I didn't forget the camera.







For years I have claimed to be one of those people who don't watch television. The tube sucked me in this year. 




My favorite 2009 poisons included Two Hearted Ale, Death and Company, and the Aviation.


New Years Resolution: to blog more (among other things).

In Season


This is a great link to find out what's in season. I found pluots at the farmer's market, which is a plum/apricot hybrid. Tara said Pluot is a dirty word in Russia.

Unlearning


Every time I start to blog, I realize that I lack inspiration. Most blogs have a theme, with some sort of consistency, so I guess the theme is me... My writing abilities have been crushed by the formalities of grad-school papers. I don't know how to free write anymore. I have thoughts, valid ones, and they will come out eventually. For now, I'll just have to unlearn how to write, so my personality can shine.

It might take a while. Please be patient.

I blog... Oh yeah.


I've always enjoyed blog reading to see what my creative friends are up to, so here goes my virgin attempt.
