Memories and 2006 First-Sentence Meme
Since I’m not allowed to do anything today, like walk or do my piles of laundry, I’m frantically trying to get my old entries up (I had 2004-ish to June 2006 to upload; I’m currently on April 2006 Woo! I’m done!) so that I can get the plugins I want installed (perferably before Alaethia’s born, as I know I won’t have time for zip then :P). While reading through each entry (because I’m anal-retentive like that and every old entry needs to be catergorized, too) I figured out the exact moment that Mario and I got sick with Mono, when my friendship ended with Ricci, when Mario surprised me with wanting to try for a baby (and we found out our Padrino had been murdered in the most dreadful way), when we bought our truck (and Eenan got his very first stitches), and when I found out I was pregnant with Alaethia!.
It’s kind of weird, sometimes heartbreaking, and sometimes fun to go back and read all that stuff. I remembered a meme I’d seen floating around and decided to finally do it. I just hope I don’t have one-worded sentences as the first sentence, which, knowing me, I probably do :P.
Directions: Write the first sentence in your journal from every month.
January: I tried blogging yesterday, mostly because of the fact that Annie was talking about all these superstitious things, one being that doing something on the 31st or the 1st will help you do whatever you did all through the year.
February: I’m fine, I’m alive.
March: So much has happened since I last updated.
April: You know what just blows my mind?
May: So we’d planned on leaving for our Mini Vacation at South Padre Island on Friday after Eenan got out of school.
June: Hmm…seems like I’ve gotten the hang of updating once a week.
July: I wish I could say that I haven’t updated because I’ve been working at my new fabulous job, but the truth is I’ve been running around doing errands and taking Mom to her doctor’s appointments since last Monday.
August: I had the weirdest dream last night.
September: I really hate taking a shower. (LMAO)
October: I think part of the problem with me trying to update daily is that I can’t think of anything interesting to write.
November: We didn’t do much on Halloween night.
December: The cold front came in and has been lingering since Thursday.
Well, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but we can officially establish that I do not know how to start off a journal entry (or end one, for that matter!) :P.
