2010

I came, I saw, I'm glad it's over.

Highlights: Getting published in Salon, going to Seattle, having lap-band surgery and losing (up through now) 30 pounds. My marriage, which gets better all the time. The fact that my friends and family are happy and healthy. The dogs.

Lowlights: So much else. My cat dying, even if it was at a ripe old age. (Whatever the hell that means.) Spending my birthday in the hospital. And just a trapped feeling that I plan to deal with this year.

2011. Bring it on.
