January
I was thinking about starting a blog.

February
I started this blog on a day when I had a ton of work to do, and didn't feel like doing it. I thought I'd talk about books I read (I still do that some) and homeschool stuff (I quickly decided that was about as exciting as watching someone pick their nose).

The first post of mine that I thought was actually funny and interesting was Real Mean Don't Pluck Their Eyebrows. I was proud of my work digitally plucking the superhunks.

March
I wasn't sure if I was even going to mention that I'm a Mormon on my blog, but I jumped in with a post about My Mormonism. Immediately, I wanted to take it down, but left it up and was glad I did.

I actually took TV Fat down after I published it, but my husband thought it was really funny (and so did Crapples), so I put it back up. It's one of my favorites now. I also wrote about Invoking Hitler and wrote one of my first art posts, about the one hit wonder of One and Three Chairs.

April
I had insightful commentary about Kings of Leon. I also wrote about Doubt and waxed nostaglic about BYU.

May
I wrote about Jan Vermeer, my sister's eating disorder, and a 70s guy who was probably born in the 70s.

June
I wrote about public parenting, misheard lyrics and asked the age-old question, Who is the 'Funkel?

July
I waxed nostalgic for the umpteenth time about Music and Memory and pondered civilization found in a glass of ice water.

August
The girls started school. Grace loved it and Lillie went back to homeschooling, which led me to write about The Quit.

September
I remembered September 11.

October
I wrote about Connie Chung's Investigative Crapfest.

November
Another serious post about being Mormon and looking through a glass darkly.

December
We had a lovely Snow Day and bought a puppy.

Poetry
My favorite poem for the year is The Wait.
