2010 is ending… how is that even possible? I guess rather than freak out over another year passing, I’ll just go with the flow. That said, here are my recent columns: best music of 2010 and a list of my New Year’s resolutions.
In the past I hated spending time with my family during the holidays. I love them, sure, but holidays were made for drinking wine with dinner. Not that silly Mormon cranberry juice and Sprite mix.
That all changed when my brothers had kids. Suddenly sobriety wasn’t the worst thing in the world; not seeing my nieces and nephews for the holidays was. Had I known kids make family time not only tolerable, but also enjoyable I would have got knocked up in high school. I can picture myself with a “Gilmore Girls”-esque lifestyle. I would be an amazing teen mother.
Well maybe not… after all, I did spend the majority of Christmas Eve threatening to feed the kids to Santa’s reindeer.
Carter: “Aunt Sarah, can they kill us?”
Me: “Not kill you, but they will definitely maim you. What are guys going to do if one gets you?”
Kailee: “Pray.”
Hannah: “Scream.”
Carter: “Punch it in the wiener.”
Unto us a future pervert is born.
This week’s “That’s What She Said” is about my stance against cougars. Though now I’m wondering if it’s just inability to have fun. Seriously, I need a change of scenery and not just a new house. It’s time to reconnect with my wild side… trip to Las Vegas anyone?
Things have been scarce around these parts lately. I’ve been a little more diligent on keeping up with Twitter, but this blog has been sorely neglected.
Buying a new house, followed by moving has kept me occupied. Finally, at 35-years-old, I have achieved what I consider real adulthood. The mortgage payment and house stress are mine, all mine. It’s cheesy, I know, but I’m incredibly proud of myself for doing this on my own. No husband or boyfriend needed. Just me, well, and that bottle of wine that provided me with the courage to go for it.
My “That’s What She Said” column is a letter to my bank. You know, that place crazy enough to give me a large sum of money. What fools!
