It's the End of the Year

by Maria on December 31, 2008

in blogging

At the end of every year, I always say “Wow! That went by really fast!” and I really feel that way. I’m twenty four years old. My daughters are three and five – I don’t have actual babies for the first time in a very long time. I’ve made a lot of friends, I’ve lost a few, I’ve set myself on a path that I belong on. I’ve changed, and I’ve stayed the same. I can look back on my blog and see that, and I enjoy it.

Here are my favorite posts (of mine) from each month of this past year. This is blatantly stolen from Heather B..

January – “Immoral Matriwha’?”

February – Highly Combustible

March  – My Life. Hollywood Style.

April -White is Alright?

May – I GUESS I’m a Mommy Blogger

June – 200 lbs, yes.

July – eBallers

August – “…and this is my partner, Ovaltine Jenkins.”

September – My Decision, Dammit

October – Rest Peacefully Gabriel Josh Wolrab

November – And tears stream down my face…

December – I can do it better myself…

So what are your own personal favorites of the year? Leave links in the comments: I’d like to read them.

I was going to do the same thing. But going through my archives opened some old wounds.

So I chose to shoot glitter out my arse.

Way funner.

Happy New Year my gorgeous girl.

Smootches.

I can definitely relate. I can’t believe that 4 months from now I’ll be 25 with a 6 year old! I’m getting old, lol.

So many great posts to read (some I’ve already read). Gonna enjoy checking them all out. I’ll be back with a few of my favs for you to check out… you know I’m here visiting from the SK =)

You know I think I discovered you with the Gabriel Josh Wolrab post. That one. Oy vey. I couldn’t get him out of my head. I was actually bawling my eyes out when I read he passed. I wanted to just feed him, bathe him, clothe him, shelter him, hold him, and shower him with love. Not enough love in the world.

Hugs, Maria! I hope you have a fantabulous 2009!

The new year always makes me a little nervous, I think just because my birthday is a couple days later. That’s too much excitement in a short time. I did a best and worst list on my blog too, it’s interesting to go back through the year.

I loved all your stuff around the election, because I’m such a political junkie and your opinions rocked.

By the way… 24? Fucking 24? Gawwwd, I’m old.

Given the frequency of my senior moments, I’m shocked at how many of these I remember. That can only be attributed to how much your words mean to me. It’s been a pleasure to read you in 2008. I look forward to many more in 2009.
Happy New Year, Maria.

I picked my favorites and put them up over at my place. Sorry if this looks ugly, but I am not smart enough to know how to put a pretty link in a comment…

Oh God. P.S. one of my posts blatantly featured you but it was just to relay the fact that I spent all of 2008 as an ornery bitch.

I apologize for any indiscretions that occurred in July/August.

Wow! You’ve actually inspired me to look back at my blog. I didn’t think I’d get around to doing that until my kids were in college!

My favourites: http://rodrigueztwins.blogspot.com/2008/11/president-elect-obama.html, http://rodrigueztwins.blogspot.com/2008/03/faith.html and http://rodrigueztwins.blogspot.com/2008/06/happy-daddys-day.html.

Thanks for the idea!
