Ode to April

Because April did, and because I have not done one since 2007, I present you with my 2009 year in review!

January

- my mom bought me a car.
- my mom paid for me to go to school to become an emt.
- my mom took my son and I tubing. that was a lot of fun.
-hung out with april a lot.
- hung out with nick a lot.

February
-turned 30! would have liked to have a big blowout for that, but couldn't due to pregnancy which was also causing me to gain massive amounts of weight.
-best valentine's day i can recall was spent with April. lots of laughter and that old woman with her slippers just killed me.
- going to school every monday and wednesday. it was a nice distraction and being that i was not ( still am not) working, it was nice.

March

May
- had not smoked for over 3 weeks until the beach trip.
- went to Va beach with my mom and julian. it was my last vacation with just my son before his sister arrived. ;
- got extremely sunburned on said vacation and had a hard time moving for most of it.

november

I must add that my mother gets the MVP of the year award. Without her, my year would have surely not been as good.


this blog is not proper today due to the fact that i should be doing fifty thousand other things. do not get angry about my lack of capital letters and such.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR. i hope to write more in 2010,
