I<\/span> 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 story of our year in broad strokes, so here it is: the first sentence of the first post in each month this year. 2010 in bloggy review.<\/p>\n

January<\/a>: Wow, only three weeks to go in my year of photos!<\/p>\n

February<\/a>: Wow, can you believe it? Five years ago today, I dipped my toe in the Internet Ocean and have been dog-paddling madly across the sea ever since!<\/p>\n

March<\/a>: Does it get any more Canadian than this? We go to bed on a wave of Gold medal fervour and wake up to Roll Up the Rim to Win. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Canada\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Best! Day! Ever! <\/p>\n

April<\/a>: In years to come, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll talk about 2010 as the year that Easter fell in mid-summer. <\/p>\n

May<\/a>: Holy cats, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been more than six weeks since I posted an update about my thousand picture project! <\/p>\n

June<\/a>: My boys are getting to an age now where despite their inherent adorableness, maybe I shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t exploit them and their personal stories for the blog in the same way I once did. <\/p>\n

July<\/a>: Happy Canada Day from Lunenburg!<\/p>\n

August<\/a>: “Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death\u00e2\u20ac\u009d ~Hunter Thompson<\/p>\n

September<\/a>: This whole house-selling thing? Is way too much work. Way, way too much work. I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been this tired since there was a newborn in the house. <\/p>\n

October<\/a>: So I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m changing the toddler terror\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s diaper the other day, and of course as soon as the diaper is open he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got his hand down there groping his bits. <\/p>\n

November<\/a>: Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s post was supposed to be the next in my fledgling series on accidental environmentalism, and how moving to a well and septic system and a larger plot of land has helped one family become more aware of its environmental footprint. <\/p>\n

December<\/a>: Beloved will tell you, there is no living with me right now. Not since I found out that Postcards from the Mothership was shortlisted as one of the five finalists in the Humour category of the 2010 Canadian Weblog Awards.<\/p>\n

See? Fun, eh? Not all the highlights, but enough to give you a taste of the year that just flew by. In all, I’d call it a chaotic and stressful but ultimately happy year. And you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
