Wow, 2011, where'd you come from?

Ok, I’ve been slacking, I admit it. My last post was in September. September! Of 2010 no less! What have I been doing with myself?

Well, for starters, there was Thanksgiving and Christmas - both excellent holidays, mainly because I got to eat. I love to eat. I love food. Some people eat to live. Me? I LIVE TO EAT! I especially live to eat junk food. My sweet tooth is insanely large. I would have dessert for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert if I had a choice. I guess I do have a choice, but stupid adulthood stops me from doing that. Stupid adulthood. But I digress…

My parents came out to California for a few days during Thanksgiving because 2010 was the first year that neither Sister nor I would be home for Christmas. The visit was a combination of Thanksgiving and Christmas because my parents had all of our Christmas gifts shipped to us so we could open them together. A little unorthodox but it got the job done. Cut to a month later, Christmas Day, where Hubby and I spent the day alone, watching movies, opening gifts and eating Chinese food. Best. Christmas. Ever. I’m still tasting that delicious Orange Chicken. Hubby got me a fancy Cuisinart Single Serve Coffee Machine and I think he’s used it more than I have. I’m glad it’s brought us both joy! I do love my coffee after all :-)

I was excited that the weather finally cooled off for a couple of months so I could wear my previously posted about fleece jacket. I don’t like the Summer…never have. I don’t like to be hot and sticky and I don’t like wearing shorts or tank tops because I feel those articles always accentuate the parts of my body I despise the most. By the end of the season the T-shirts and skirts that I do wear are tattered and torn and I have to go shopping again. The upside is I get to buy new clothes; the downside is I always forget this until a 90 degree day rolls around and I have nothing to wear. A vicious cycle.

Our softball league ended after the New Year. It was supposed to end sooner but we missed three games due to a muddy field and we had to make them up. We started off really crappy – it was clear after the first few games that this would be “just for fun”, but by the end of the season we were no longer the worst team in the league. Thankfully. I think in total we won three actual games, tied once and won by default twice (the other teams forfeited). I don’t think we’ll join again in 2011, though, because it just proved to be too much of a commitment. You can call us selfish, but we’re not willing to give up our Sunday mornings again. At least we had a good time and we met some new people and had a few laughs. That’s all I was really interested in anyway.

All in all 2011 has started off pretty great. There’s been some bumps along the way but nothing I can’t handle. Hopefully it’ll continue that way. I’ll try to post more but I’m not committing to anything!
