Fortieth year about to be over -- what the hell was I doing with my time??


Things accomplished:
1) Started off with a bang (snicker) when newly mine Duck-Girl took me to Vegas to celebrate the age and watch the amazing-ness that is "O"
2) Returned the favor (sort of) by proposing on her superhero B-Day in Feb.
3) Found two new jobs -- took the more lucrative one, decided that maybe wasn't such a fantastic idea and backpedalled right smack into the other (soooooo MUCH better)
4) Escaped from Mills, College grad school with an EdD in Educational Policy and Implementation
5) Experienced the Little Big Girl "graduation-from-pre-school" extravaganza
6) Got legally married at City Hall
7) Got the Little Big Girl started at "Big Kid" school and stood helplessly by as the Big Big Girl wandered into the twin worlds of Middle School/Warcraft
8) Got Married, again, "for reals" this time/Celebrated all the cool kids' birthdays
9) Mexican Honeymoon with the kids, Baby!
10)Back to celebrate the holidays in the new house/marital situation
11)Watched the country install it's first Mixed-Ethnicity President (and, co-incidentally enough, the first one in recent memory that seemed to share my own personal views about anything!)

All-in-all, I guess I have to say 40 = NOT the Year-of-the-Slacker. Now 41, however...! There's a year for which I have BIG plans! ;-)
