Seeing as the holiday/vacation season is officially here…I want to take a mini-blogging break. That is, of course, if nothing incredibly funny happens to happen. Then I will make sure I post. I decided to take a look back at 2006. In reading through many entries I found myself either amused, happy or grateful at what 2006 brought me and my family. I decided to post my favorite memories for those of you wanting to reminisce.
January:
6th- When the Numbers Seduce You: This was a gross misunderstanding of one of my students. The comments made by my brother-in-law Joe are hilarious
26th- Contentment of a clean desk: This is my admission of my type A personality
February:
7th- You can only make fun of yourself: You will find a fantastic picture of me in the 7th grade and a long list of things I make fun of myself about. The comments are worth the read as many many people call themselves out.
9th-Learning To Be A Portnoy: By far the worst picture of the Portnoy’s from childhood and all I’ve learned since entering this “colorful” family.
March:
21- An inexpressible and glorious joy: This is one of the hardest and most amazing things that happened all year. This is the post where I thought we miscarried and God spared Chloe’s life.
April:
12- Our gummy bear looks like a baby: Ultrasounds, early belly shot and my modesty out the window.
May:
5- Indecent Proposal: One of my students solicits me in the most inappropriate way.
June:
7- Going out with a Bang: I signed up for the talent show at school and had HUGE regrets.
26- Introducing: This was the day we found out Chloe was a girl.
July:
7-Stomach gurgle, tightening colon…oh no…IBS attack: This was my tale of whoa at Panera Bread.
August:
8- 365 Days of sweet goodness: My one year anniversary with Ryan
28-Charlotte tested, mother approved: Great picture of Ryan and Charlotte and the Baby Bjorn
30-When pathetic meets more pathetic: A true story of Walmart, motorized carts and two swollen preggos
September:
5-Oh the Irony: Our lovers weekend gone terribly, terribly wrong
15-Paint Bomb: My clumsy mishap in Home Depot
October:
3- The end and the beginning: My realization that things were going to drastically change between Ryan and I.
12- Like a kid in a candy store: My pathetic playtime in Chloe’s closet making future outfits for her. I love clothes and shoes!
November:
7- The most rewarding day of my life: Chloe’s birth story through my eyes.
25- When poo attacks: Our tragic Thanksgiving and first family shots together.
December…well if you read me regularly..the stories are recent enough.
Those are just some of my favorites. Thank you all who faithfully read about our lives. I love to blog, I love to find the humor in life, and I particularly enjoy making others laugh.
Merry Christmas, see you in the new year!
