So, it's finally the end of 2009. What a year it has been. I have watched a whole shitload of TV. I have gone to the movies a bunch. I ate out more times than I should have. And, I spent a lot of time just hanging out.
What exciting happened this year? I got a masters degree. That was pretty cool. I haven't done anything with it because of this recession and unemployment issues and all. But, I got it. And one day, I shall!
Jody and I celebrated our second year as a couple. Couple of goons, if you ask me. But, together we have been for two years. It has been a great two years. The weird thing is that I can't much remember life before him. I mean, I do. But, it seems so weird and so long ago. I am very much in love with the goober. And if it weren't for him, I would never have found an International Accordion Festival to attend!
We got our new Gussy! He is the cutest damn dog. He really is. He's sweet as he can be. He is super hyper. He poops on anything that sits still. And if he doesn't poop on it, he chews it up. Sure he has eaten most of our possessions, but he is still our sweet, stupid little Gus! And we love him. Now, if he can just re-get that pooping outside thing! (if anyone has suggestions, send them my way)
We moved to a whole new part of the city that I hadn't lived in before. It is very suburban and all that that entails. I am not sure if we will stay in the area after our lease is up because living amongst the Kate Gosselins is not my idea of fun. Neither is living in a gigantic apartment complex compound type area. But, we don't have hookers or crack houses anywhere near us. That's a major plus! The grocery store is fantastic, but the grocery store patrons suck. Seeing a woman being escorted out of the grocery store by a bagger who is holding her one bag and an umbrella over her head is something I jsut don't care to see. But, neither is a pimp screaming at his bottom bitch. So, I guess it is a fair trade. The electric bill is down about $600 a month. So, all in all, not a bad move.
This may sound pathetic, but in 2009 I finally mastered the fine art of chopsticks! Now, I know that may sound funny or sad or pathetic. It is. But, I eat a lot of Thai and Vietnamese food. In fact, my favorite restaurant in this town is Pho Van, a Vietnamese restaurant. There ain't a fork in the place! So, after some years, I finally figured out how to use them! I am not perfect, but I can actually eat. And Jody doesn't even laugh at me when I accidentally sling food on myself (which I do often). So, I feel that is a major accomplishment!
All in all, a good year. I was pretty proud of the degree and the chopsticks thing. I am so glad to be with a great man who loves fun out of town jaunts and making out with me in public. And, I got a dog who seems to hate me, but is really cute.
Let's see what the 2010 brings. I hope I don't die!
