2012

"We're 30, we have iPhones, and it's the last Saturday of 2012." - My bff

It snowed in my town yesterday - a town in SoCal that doesn't get snow.  That kind of sums up my year: different and unexpected.

• I turned 30 and my Georgia bff flew out to surprise me at my 80s-themed bday party.
• I decided to have, then had, major abdominal surgery.
• I had my appendix out.
• I went back to school...something I swore I'd never do.
• I had a pain-free period for the first time in over a decade.
• I met 4 new nieces and nephews.  (They're awesome, btw.)
• I learned CSS, HTML, and JavaScript...something else I swore I'd never do.
• Two friends from long ago and far away (literally) came to Cali for a visit.
• Another friend from early college converted quite unexpectedly to Christianity.
• I had a gift of French wine and French cheese for the first time in 7 years. 
• I got a smart phone.  Yet another thing I swore I'd never do.
• I deleted facebook.
• The furthest I traveled was to NorCal.  Me not traveling in a whole year...that's a record!

And on top of all that I stayed home on New Year's Eve with a corn pack on my feet and a heated blanket.  You may stay up to ring in the new year if you want, but I'm an early-to-bed kinda girl myself. :)  Here's to a good 2013!
