28 Lines About 12-and-a-Quarter Months

January I went boot camp crazy:
did way too many lunges, squats.
Thanks to this stupid page in Feb.
you could calculate our mutual hots!
In March I blathered on and on
about horoscopes, Kirstie, and chick lit.
April was big: my book came out.
I met my boyfriend. Holy shit!
All book tour hell broke loose in May:
Seattle! Portland! New York! Boston!
LA in June! And San Francisco!
And the sexiest state of all: Wisconsin.
Hit Durham in July and redesigned;
ranted about those ads for Dove.
In August: half-assed weight loss plans!
Mystery beeps! Hot penguin love!
September I wrote… um, almost nothing.
What else did I do besides get fat?
October: Halloween, obviously;
I wore the most fucked-up ever hat.
I couldn’t shut up in November—
Fat suits! Plan B! Bras with phones!
December: obsessed with gingerbread;
earrings in 99 Luftballons.
It’s January 06! I’ve yet to quit
drinking Jewel brand spiked eggnog.
But my resolutions are already done!
Well, just the one: “Update damn blog.”

That is so Madison. I grew up there and love the hippy, dippy, eagerness of it all. Sounds like you had a banner year.

Yes.um. I wish you'de update more. But who am I to complain? Have a good new year.

Excellent! My fave month is October, just because of the hat.

Can't get enough of that hat.

This was the year of the eggnog for me too!

Wendy, you rock. Looking forward to reading your 2006 posts.

Since you mention the hat... Have you seen this?

I don't know if it really has anything to do with Flowers in the Attic, but look! I know how to do links now!
