Can I just say, blog people, that I have just drunk (drank? drunk?) an entire mini bottle of sparkling wine, courtesy of Kate, and am now probably, officially drunk. Please excuse all typos, grammatical errors, and overall content of this here blog post.
The scene in front of me looks as if a toy box barfed all over the floor. I'm not cleaning it up because it looks to me like the perfect alarm system should we get robbed tonight. The burglar would step on approximately 46,000 Legos and uncontrollably release a slew of obscenities, thus giving me time to email Steve about how to load real bullets in the gun. Or look up a Youtube video about loading bullets in a gun. If you recall from here, a gun once injured me, and I intentionally steer clear of firearms in general.
Anywhoodle, Steve just told me the other day that he fell in love with me on New Year's Eve 2008 (that sly dog), so I'm chalking that bottle of champagne up to celebrating our loveiversary. I loved him first, if we're being honest here, but I didn't want to appear desperate, so I waited for him to admit it to me first. Anyways, now I love him a kafrillion times more than I did on this night, four years ago. Seeing your main squeeze love your children makes you love him that much more somehow.
So... yeah. That's enough of the mushy stuff. Let's get on to my 2012 recap! Just kidding! This whole blog is a recap. If you need to know all of the amazingly awesome stuff we did this year, you can go over to that sidebar there on the right and click on "2012". Read through every post and you'll have a pretty decent idea of what we've been up to.
My resolutions for 2013 are as follows:
1. Get some champagne flutes. (Because I just drank champagne straight out of the bottle.)
2. Learn how to load bullets into that gun. (Just in case my Lego setup doesn't work out.)
3. Strive to be a better mother. (More patience, less yelling.)
4. Welcome home my husband because HOLLER! He comes home this year! Clearly this will be my best year yet!
5. I'd like to say something here to round out my numbers like "lose weight" or "go to the gym" but girl, please. I love chocolate so much.
Hope y'all are staying up til midnight for me! And drinking and dancing and wearing something besides yoga pants and slippers. Jenny from the park (the trailer park, that is)- OUT.
here's to a wonderful 2013!!! :) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you Jenn and thank you so much for always making sure I leave your blog with a smile!!
ReplyDeleteNumber 4 is my favorite.
ReplyDelete(SHORTEST COMMENT EVER ALERT!)
(Maybe because it's 2:00am.)
(Goodnight.)
(I hope no burglars come.)
Intentional or not, this post just made my day. I think you and I would have way too much fun drinking together. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteLove your home defense system :), 2013 will be awesome!!! I hope you enjoyed your New Year's Eve!!!!
ReplyDeleteStepping on Legos in the dark is one of life's most painful experiences. It's not a messy house. It is a carefully constructed burglar trap. Happy New Year you hot mama =)
ReplyDeleteThis might be my favorite blog post I've ever read. Favorite line: "This whole blog is a recap."
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I also love chocolate.
Sadly though, my husband will be gone through much of 2013. Thank goodness for Skype.
I've thought that before too with the toys and such. Once, when J was out in the field, I set up 3 baby gates to hopefully trip up any intruders AND loaded the shotgun by the bed. ha Good thing no one ran out of gas outside our house or had car trouble. I was ready to shoot. Kidding. Mostly. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
ReplyDeleteBest New Year post I've ever read. I'm coupling this post in my memory along with your texts from last night and filing them under "This Is Why We're Friends".
ReplyDeleteWe are going to get so silly in CA.
You're welcome.
ReplyDeleteOk so I love to read you posts. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAll but #4 could apply to me but I need wine glasses instead of champagne flutes but Christmas plastic cups work for now. They definitely would work for me. I know you are excited for #4 to happen though :)
a. you and I are two peas in a pod
ReplyDeleteb. champagne flutes? no lie, I have like 9. an odd number because I drink something with a cork and shit starts breaking for real. I love me some bubbly.
Lol heart you big! And so does my brother, in a non mushy new years eve sorta way ;)
ReplyDeleteHa! Cheers, and here's to the best year yet :)
ReplyDeleteBahahahahaha... day made. Best recap New Year's post ever. I love your resolutions and defense system.. and well just your whole look out on life. P.S. I like drunk Jenn! :D
ReplyDeleteAwwwww! That is so super sweet! I totally loved my husband first too, but waited for him to tell me. We're such ladies. And, I love your resolutions. I drink my champagne out of a wine glass like a heathen so maybe I need to get some flutes too.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post! Totally hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha too funny!! Happy New Year Jenn, big hugs to you and those adorable babies of yours xoxo
ReplyDeleteP.S. Good luck to that burglar mwhahahaha
