Wow.

Well. I just renewed my webhosting for another two years, so I’d better make it worth while this time.

2009  has been the best. 2008 was shitty. I think 2010 will be a slap in the face. Here’s to the odd numbered years.

In the past year I’ve

- learned how to cook and bake gluten free
- bought a house and all the fixin’s
- brought home the most fantastic puppy on the planet. Fantastic in terms of physical and behavioural cuteness. Fantaaastic.
- killed at school
- killed at work (figuratively, but there are days when it’s been close)
- gone to visit my folks twice
- gained a sister-in-law. i didn’t have to do much for that one, but it’s still pretty cool
- taught the boy-bot how to run and love doing it
- totally slacked at blogging
- lost any work-life balance that i may have had in the past

The office closed at lunch time today, and after going to our favourite diner for eggs benny, we took the dog for a walk to our local liquor store for a bottle of my favourite sparkling wine for New Years Eve. I bought a bottle of merlot too, I’m going to try Julia Child’s boeuf bourguignon recipe, but with bison. I’m hoping. I still need to get my hands on some bison stewing meat, but I think I might have a source.

Right now I have a pan of homemade marshmallows made with agave nectar setting on the counter. Later I plan to make a pan of butter cookies with almond flour. I’m excited to crack open that bottle of wine that’s chilling in the fridge right now.

My resolution for the next year is to do less. Instead of going insane, I’m only going to take one course at school at a time, I’m going to take more pictures, bake more, decorate our house, and enjoy the puppy. He’s really easy to enjoy.

I might even blog more. Maybe.
