2008 in Posts
January
I contemplated fresh starts.
I experimented with a a new departure in flavorings. (My famous chicken tortilla chai soup recipe. Mm mm bleck.)
Then it was time to Journey North again!
.
February
I finished crocheting a sweater, almost. (Never did put the buttons on. Rilla won’t wear it, anyway. No ladybugs on it.)
We had bad days and good ones.
.
March
I sang out loud in the grocery store.
John Stilgoe knocked my socks off and got me contemplating how Way Leads on to Way and how Every Face I Look at Seems Beautiful.
.
April
In a word: Barcelona! Barcelona! Barcelona!
.
May
I contemplated my Mother’s Days and celebrated 14 years with That Cute Boy.
I got very wordy about houseplants. Twice.
.
June
Scott battled a fearsome beast in our laundry room. I read about the epic fight on IM.
I explained my Doctor Roster.
.
July
My big girls went to Colorado for a week.
We were happy to get them back again.
Then we ditched them for the San Diego Comic-Con. (Scott had to: it’s his job. Me? I tagged along for the photo ops.)
.
August
We started the 100 Species Challenge. (And though we’ve not kept up the blogging-it part, we’ve done really well with the species ID part! I think we’re in the 60s now.)
I had a little hospital adventure.
.
September
I made curtains! (I didn’t say I made them well.)
We kept on learning new stuff about our sweet Wonderboy.
.
October
I celebrated the San Diego autumn and small happinesses. And more autumn, and more happinesses. (About that sourdough starter, though? Epic fail.)
.
November
My parents came to visit, and we enjoyed a fabulous week of exploring SoCal with the big girls.
.
December
‘Twas a month of Twittered moments, and birthdays, and sewing, and books, and Advent moments both magical and mucky.
.
And now it’s 2009, and we’re about to make another fresh start.
