I know I've been bitching plenty about this year (and my mother says I never complain, ha!). I wanted to try to begin the new year with a good attitude, so I decided to make a list of good things about 2009. Positivity begets positivity. SO, here we go!

1. Of all the people that died this year, I wasn't one of them.

2. My kids still think I'm awesome and my boyfriend didn't dump me despite the constant crap.

3. My friends and family stuck by me without judgment and with plenty of encouragement.

4. I had the greatest birthday party of my entire life. Those of you who were there, I cannot thank you enough. I will hold the memory of that night with me forever.




5. I reconnected with a very special old friend, whose live show was the best of the year. 

6. I wrote a book, which my editor believes WILL sell in 2010. Please, publishing peoplegods, please.

7. The world's greatest cat continues to live in my house.


8. The Hangover and I Love You, Man made me laugh so hard, I forgot that I was depressed.

9. Them Crooked Vultures made me love music again.

10. Um...cupcakes? Yeah, I ate a lot of cupcakes this year.



Well, at least I tried. There just wasn't a whole lot of great things in 2009. Everyone seems to be in agreeance on this (my favorite Durst-ism of the past decade), so I'm putting a fork in this bad boy and calling it done.

This time next year, I'd like to be blogging about how mind-blowingly radtastical 2010 was. Oh, yes, how I'd like that.
