The year in review

Filched from Angry Pregnant Lawyer. The year in review, by posting the first sentence of the first blog post of each month of 2006.

1. What happened to my baby?
2. Although today is Simon’s birthday (and thank you for all the birthday wishes!), we celebrated it with the family last Saturday.
3. Sorry about yesterday’s blatant cry for sympathy.
4. Last week after I posted about demanding public funding for IVF, I exchanged a series of e-mails with Janet, a regular blog reader from elsewhere in Ontario.
5. Today’s review is being written not at the 10-pages-in point, but after I have read the whole book.
6. Marla wrote a great, rambling post the other day (you think I ramble? You ain’t seen from ramble ‘till you’ve been to Marla’s place) about how ideas for a blog post just jumped out and hurled themselves at her over the course of a rather strange afternoon.
7. I’m never going to get around to writing the epic post that sums up our sojourn in la Belle Province, so I’ve decided to cover it in a series of vignettes instead.
8. I’ve spent a lot of this past week and a half pretty much obsessed with my breasts.
9. I can see you rolling your eyes.
10. Eight days.
11. The boys had a terrific halloween, and by extension, so did I.
12. All I can say at this point is thank the deity of your choice that November is finally over.

It has an oddly poetic narrative, don’t you think?

1. 2009: A Bloggy Year in Review I know, I know, everybody and his brother is doing the year in review thing. But I’ve done this in each of 2006, 2007 and 2008, and frankly, I got nothing else for today! Here it is again, a meme of review in the form of the first line of...

Book review: Writing Motherhood It’s my turn to host another stop on a MotherTalk blog tour, this one for Lisa Garrigues’ book, Writing Motherhood: Tapping Into Your Creativity as a Writer and a Mother.

3. 10-pages-in book review: Everything’s Eventual It’s a bit of a challenge to write the usual 10-pages-in book review when we’re talking about a book of short stories. I’m about half way through this book, and I’ve consumed (it’s a deliberate word choice; reading Stephen King is a literary gastronomic delight for me) a little bit...
4. A bloggy year in review I must admit, I am not a huge fan of year-end retrospectives. However, I am a bit of a nostalgic fool. (And apparently a bit of a confused hypocrite to boot.) I’ve done this year-end meme a couple of times, and I like the way it manages to tell the...
5. 2007 – The Year in Review I did this meme last year, and thought it was a neat way to take a look back at the year. These are the first sentences of the first posts of each month in 2007: I’m fond of odd-numbered years – they seem to be lucky for me. Considering how...
