A REVIEW

2011 was very much an interesting year. Last year was a year of patience, growth and readjusting my OCDness.  Here’s a wrap up of our year - food, theater, entertainment, home, etc., in no particular order of course:

1. Numerous visits to Friendly’s Restaurant (who doesn't like a happy ending Sunday)
2. The Big Bad Wolf
3. Adele 21
4. Bowling
5. Lingering along the beach
6. The Lion King
7. The Michael Jackson Experience – hours of laughter
8. Family Reunion
9. Bridesmaids Movie
10. KoKo’s Crab cakes
11. Water For Elephants Movie
12. 1^st Semester of school – 4.0 ending.
13. 16 kiddie parties
14. Home sewn garland and decorations for a special boy’s bday
15. D.I.Y Holiday mantle(s)
16. Invites, invitations, and more...
17. “Channeled my Betty Crocker”: triple chocolate cake, chicken lasagna, corn pudding, homemade chocolate chip cookies, lemon butter frosting and lemon cupcakes, etc.
18. The Aquarium
19. Early morning day-trips to the Beach
20. The Foreign Exchange
21. The Baltimore Zoo
22. Hours of being forced to watch my kid play his guitar and sing to the Fresh Beat Band or me being forced to play the drums while my kid plays his guitar, recorder, and xylophone all at once (I'm still figuring this one out).
23. Storied In Hue
24. Elmo Live
25. 4 adult parties (I need to up my numbers here!)
26. Plumpton Park Zoo
27. National Zoo
28. Parks & Festivals (I've seen way too many portable potties in 2011)
29. Numerous very early morning trips to the Library 
30. Holiday Train Garden
31. B.R.Y

And now as the first week of 2012 has come to an end and the second week starts, I am looking forward to new possibilities. I am encourage by past dilemmas, am hopeful and pray for a blessed and prosperous 2012.
