Short and Succinct

Here is the second installment of my fantastic recap of the year 2010.

I hope you have your party pants on.

April

1.  I made fun of people who wear socks with sandals.

It is against everything I believe in.

But then . . . then I remembered this photo:

and I had to eat humble pie.

2.  Also in April, I lived through two horrifying experiences:

A)  I had to take my boys with me to the doctor's office and they watched me pee in a cup.  It was magical.

B)  We made the most disgusting, epic entrance to a birthday party.  Ever. 

3.  Handsome Dude peed on my dryer.

4.  We started to get busy with our last home remodeling projects in hopes of moving out.

And when I say "we," I, of course, mean The Lumberjack.

"We" worked on the kitchen.

"We" worked on the yard.

And "we" worked on the laundry room:

I focused in on the wrong stud.

5.  Handsome Dude began insisting on dressing himself daily.

To this day, he still forgets to put on socks and puts his shoes on the wrong feet.

And I am too tired to care.

6.  Are you thinking that the "April" section is getting too long?

You are not alone.

7.  After two months of waiting and wondering, we discovered that the bank would accept our offer on the Ruralville house.

And thus began the longest, most worrisome, closing period known to man.

8.  I started a Facebook page for this blog. 

9.  The Lumberjack brought home some deer antlers and Handsome Dude tried desperately to find someone to help him, "Bix da Elk."

May

1.  I had my one year blogging anniversary.

2.  Handsome Dude got, yet another, new pair of glasses.

Of which he has taken superb care of.

Not.

3.  I took my boys on a walk.

We saw many feathered friends, all of which my boys called, "Ducks! Quack!"

Fact Check:  This was from when we lived at our old house.  This is not, I repeat, not Ruralville.  Ruralville does not have sidewalks.

4.  I took Daisy Mae shopping with me and made the mistake of allowing her into the fitting room with me.

Oh, for the poking!

Oh, for the questions!

Oh, for the chubs!

5.  Sister Meagan graduated from college.

And Daisy Mae was taken to the ER.  So, that was a dull trip.

6.  Little Dude learned the parts of the body.

7.  We took our first camping trip.

8.  "We" were still working on our house.

June

1.  "We" finished "our" projects.

Actually, the Lumberjack finished his projects.

I was just there to be his eye candy.

Or something like that.

2.  Handsome Dude put the hangers away for me.

He is uber helpful.

3.  We officially closed on the Ruralville house.

4.  Daisy Mae graduated from Kindergarten.

5.  My grammy died.

6.  Little Dude turned 2.

7.  Between the move to Ruralville and getting our other house ready for vacation rentals, The Lumberjack and I experienced a bit of stress.

Serenity Now.

8.  I turned 29.  For the first time.

Wow.  That post was short and succinct.

Tell me, dear reader . . . what was something memorable you did in the year 2010?

Happy Thursday!
