Like last year, I am doing a post round-up by listing the first sentences from the first post from each month in 2009.
Looking back on that post, I see that I made a few blog-related resolutions. Things I would do, or finish, or whatever. Predictably, I did none of them. Resolutions are not my strong-suit.
But wait! I may be redeemed… were any of my first sentences improvements on those from last year??
January: “You will not believe what I am about to tell you.”
February: “Remember the back of our house?”
March: “We’d been discussing it for years, when would be the best time?”
April: ““Stand by Me” performed by musicians around the world”
May: “I took these last fall in Boston — my continued obsession with shutter speed.”
June: “Did that belly dancing class make us uppity?”
July: “Surprise!”
August: “The last two days have been a bit of a daze, punctuated by periodic conversations that go something like this, “where the heck are we?””
September: “I wrote each name and order of comment on a little slip of paper, folded them up, and stuck them in bowls — one for new friends and one for the old friends.”
October: “On the can.”
November: “Will had his second ear surgery on Friday.”
December: “Try as I may, I just can’t get the job of independently wealthy woman of leisure.”
Maybe half-credit? Good enough.
Have you ever made a resolution and saw it to the end?
And, do you have favorite things you read on a blog this year? Looking for inspiration to bring in the New Year!
