2012 So Far...
I made a decision that 2012 is going to be INFINITELY better than 2011.
Because I said so.
We're now ten days into this Best Year Ever and here's what I've got so far:
•My camera disappeared at Disneyland and it's unlikely I will ever see it again.
•I got sick with some kind of sinusy/congestion thing that is sort of a cold but more likely allergies.
•I got to transfer all my prescriptions to a new pharmacy because I'm one of the kids stuck in the middle of the Express Scripts/Walgreens divorce.
•My prescriptions are out of date and not only do I have to transfer them but wait for doctor approvals and I NEED THEM RIGHT NOW.
•I've waited four years to get jury duty again and was finally called last week. During my week off from work. And I had to call in every day at noon to see if I had to show up at 1pm. Which meant I couldn't really plan anything at all during the entire week. And then I was ultimately dismissed.
(Yes, I am the one freak in America who gets all excited about jury duty.)
•I had an awesome day at Disneyland with my sister, despite the fact that nearly all photographic evidence is in the hands of a stranger who is hopefully not creepy.
•I found a new Indian restaurant that I'm already super excited to go back to.
•Marly and I co-hosted a pretty kick-ass baby shower for our dear friend Stephanie (and made her cry happy tears) and then I announced my first retirement from baby shower hosting on Facebook. Want to go out on a high note. Until I come out of retirement to plan another one.
•And, oh yeah. My shingles came back.
So...that's my 2012 so far. I don't know. What do you think? Better than 2011?
I'm kind of thinking I can only go up from here.
I hope.
You are awesome. And if you share this post, you'll be even awesomer!

You haven't broken anything - that's a plus!
ReplyDeleteWe can have bad days every single day if we focus on what isn't going right but there is always something that can change into a better day. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. :) As for the cold thing...I really hope it isn't what I had for 2 weeks... strangest sickness ever!
ReplyDeleteAwww :/ not the best start! Hope it gets better!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to only focus on the good things. You've already gone to Disneyland and a great restaurant. I, on the other hand, am not even sure I have done laundry in 2012.
ReplyDeleteI want to hear more about this Indian restaurant. Good ethnic food is sadly lacking where I live.
ReplyDeleteAnd you remain one of my very favorite bloggers. That's something, right?
Opportunity to buy an awesome new camera?
Also, for the shingles, have you tried apple cider vinegar and/or coconut oil?
ReplyDeleteI would recommend dabbing with apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball and following a few minutes later with coconut oil.
I have no idea how you managed to accomplish all this in 10 days!
ReplyDeleteDitto to Kristina! You've had a busy 10 days.
ReplyDeleteI was bummed when I didn't get jury duty too. :)
It'll be a good year. Chin up!
Holy Smokes! What a crazy 10 days! I think you are right, it can only get better. Unless of course you have a stalker now.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a case of 2011 not realizing it is over and has been kicked to the curb. Just think of these last 10 days as the shadow of 2011 and start again! And, you're right, it can only go up from here.
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids are older, I would love to serve jury duty! Right now, it would be next to impossible to find a babysitter for them, plus another one is coming in less than 6 weeks...
ReplyDeleteI hope things get better for you real soon!
Wow...maybe you got all the crappy stuff over with in the first 10 days?
ReplyDeleteAnd I have been DYING to get on jury duty. I wish they'd call me (although that totally sucks that it was on your week off!).
It will get better :) Keep on keepin' on!
ReplyDeleteHow funny that you look forward to serving on a jury. I probably wouldn't mind if it was a super interesting case but with my luck it would be really boring and I'd probably fall asleep during the most important testimonies.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about the shingles!
You are SOOOO due for a break! Hope it comes soon!
Oh dear God, I meant a break as in a respite type break, not like a broken bone type break. After your recent broken bone, I didn't want you think I was hoping you'd end up with another one...heehee!
ReplyDeleteHaha! You are just getting it all over with early! The rest of the year is going to be a breeze!
ReplyDeleteMy 1st week of 2012 sucked. So far, the 2nd week is rocking!
ReplyDeleteHopefully, things look up for you too!
I want to go to Disneyland SOOOO badly! I love it there. There are no worries there beyond which ice cream treat to indulge in and which line to wait in for which super awesome ride.
ReplyDeletesorry you lost your camera.
Yay for Indian food!
ReplyDeleteBoo for shingles.
I think you're right. Can only get better from here. At least that's what I tell myself (my 2012 hasn't been off to the greatest start, either).
Here's to a GREAT year!
Your 2012 has been busy. That's for sure.
ReplyDeleteSo far January has sucked. I'm refusing to believe that it's a 2012 thing (so far!) but I could change my tune if this crap continues.
