1st I want to mention that all of those "resolutions" I made have been replaced with: Husbands BFF and the best man in our wedding's swearing in to some sort of elected judgeship tomorrow, laundry, unpacking, returning gifts, doctors appointments to be made/attended. So.... it will be 2011 when I try Zumba but alas what a decade I've had. And it wasn't until today that I realized an era has passed. So I must:
2000- I gave birth to my first son, which my Mother reminds me (all the time), I said would be the one an only.
2001- I'm pretty sure I was having a nervous breakdown from said son
2002- Passed my 30th birthday with flying colors and went back to work-live for Nanny! Oh yes, and bought a big house with huge heating bills and a money pit in back yard a.k.a POOL
2003- Lost job, took another in PR and received free facials. Husband and I graduated from therapy and started to get happy again.
2004- My sister died
2005- Gave birth to 2nd son I swore I'd never have
2006- Left job as PR consultant to finish novel
2007- Learned to surf, wrote, and spent a lot of money I was no longer making
2008- Much of the same
2009- Social Climbers was published, spent most of the year doing PR/book signings and then near nervous exhaustion decided to blog about it and go back to being a Mother
2010- New Years resolutions in tact- will continue to try to be a good person/mother/wife and go to the spa as much as possible on my dime-not Husbands.
I like this pic cause it shows that I have blue eyes. Most ppl think I have brown. PS Husband is so much cuter than this.
XOXO

Wow so much in such a short period of time!! Great job..now if I could just talk my daughter into giving me another grandchild..
ReplyDeletewhoa....that was a cram packed 10 years girl! I hope 2010 is fabulous for ya! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLet me say you have been through a lot! I spent 5 years being pregnant (or looking like I was) so I am just glad to not be! Look tomorrow on the blog for after pics!
ReplyDeleteGreat great post! Love learning more about you :) I, too, can hardly fathom where ten years went! I was a freshman in college ten years ago - spent the New Year in the Cayman's - trying to figure out what I was going to major in.... So many things have changed, and for the better! I hope you have a fabulous week!
