Welcome to February

February 2010 wall calendar ~ happy valentine's day ~

Welcome to February!

Well, not quite I suppose — depending on when you read this.

But a few things to look forward to this month:

  • It’s Black History Month & the DCCCD African American Read-In
  • My sister Kara turns 25
  • Valentines Day
  • I turn 31
  • We’re scheduled to close on our new house in Forney at the end of the month…. YIKES! We still need a solid contract on our house!!!!

And a few things to look back on — aka the top posts from January 2010.

Honorable mention:
Top songs of 2009 – This was actually one of the top 5 viewed posts for the month, but it didn’t make the official list since I wrote it on Dec. 29, 2009 — it’s sooo last year 🙂

Did you miss any of those? Were there other favorites that didn’t make the list?

What would you like to see more of?

Here’s to more great conversations in 2010!

January Happenings

I started off this year wanting to follow Brandi’s monthly list of great things that happen throughout the month. Well, January came and went and I didn’t get anything posted. February has not come and gone as well and now its March.

I’ll see if what I can recall from my Flickr 365 stream and hopefully keep better track of things in March.

So here’s a list of things I did/learned/thought about each day of the month.
