2011 (two day update).

you think i'd be worried about 2011.

based on its auspicious beginnings.

like opening my closet saturday morning to falling storage containers and the fear of a broken collar bone. or leaving the grocery store only to realize several blocks later that i'd left the groceries behind. then there was the falling down the entrance steps of my apartment building. and the loss of one of my favorite earrings. all this and the seeds of minor heartbreak (from afar, no less--and most likely imagined {the worst and most cowardly of all }).

but i'm not worried. no siree.

i'm gonna chock all this up to january. (january and i have never been friends).



okay. okay. i'ts all a-okay.

Might as well get that stuff over and done with in January! Besides, we need to have some bad stuff happening in order to really appreciate the good things :) Best wishes from Norway

By the way, now I finally know who Rufus Sewell is! He does have a good stare to him that one ;)

Unknown said...

this inspired me - january and i have never been great friends either! xo

Alyssa said...

I think January is just the lead in month to the year... its the month for mistakes and trip ups then February things fall into place

(apart from my spelling, i have never been able to spell Feb... i had to google it... thats shocking... my new year reso should be to learn how to spell it!!!)

aw, that's kinda funny. hoping for the best for you in 2011, girl!

nicole said...

at least you have a good attitude, that's half the battle right?!!

Emily said...

January and I are not good friends either! I think when we turn a new leaf or a new year, there is so much expectation for it to be perfect but I think that the trick is handling the little bumps of life with grace - which are certainly doing, my dear!!

Annie said...

oh so glad i'm not the only one... i have such high hopes for 2011, but i forgot that first, i have to make it through january. let's just call january our practice round, okay?

Dee Paulino said...

You'll be fine. I am sure this will be a positive year to remember!!

Ugh! Sounds like a tough time. Hope you don't have too many bruises. Chin up!

Ah January... it can be treacherous. I'm sure you'll navigate it with grace, like you always do :)

Here's to February my dear!

its all ok. and you're ok! :) nothing you can't handle.

Rachael said...

That sounds like things that would happen to me!
Just goes to show that even in the new year, those things can happen.

Jenni Austria Germany said...

meg fee said...

In Ethiopia if something bad happens, it means there is good to come.

Even in dreams. Adam will say- I dreamed [ ] insert something horrific happened, that means we are going to get rich!

Still throws me off, but I like it!

ruthpclark said...

You know, I think minor heartbreak from afar might actually be worse than real, serious heartbreak.

Sigh. I hear ya, sister.

january is so difficult. where i live, everyone tosses their christmas trees onto the street for recycling... except the recycling truck doesn't come for a few weeks... so there are all these dying christmas trees drying up in the melting snow...and it's sort of awkward.

vintch said...

january is an introduction, and aren't all introductions a bit awkward? keep that happy attitude and you'll be welcoming february with grace and poise! loved this honest post:)

Anait said...

Ha! Well, mother nature stopped by to visit on the 1st, I burned myself on the 2nd, and I accidentally dropped a red sock with my white sheets in the laundry. I vote January be removed from future years!

Julie said...

You could also look at it as... your getting all the "bad luck" out at the beginning of the year so the rest of the year will be fabulous! :)

Shorty said...

January is just a test -- to see how much you can handle, and to make you realize these things are only meant to make you laugh later. :)

Kaylia Payne said...

Maybe you're just getting all of the bad things out of the way early? From now on, everything is going to rock ;)

kate said...

freaking mondays and january. it's a bad combo i tell ya.

i'm not letting it get me down though because the sun is shining today. hooray.

Bridget said...

january kind of sucks. im with you there.

happy new year meg!

Bee Sarah Lee Bailey said...

sweetie i adore you. and yes its january not this year !

Wendy Lady said...

January and I are pretty much mortal enemies, so don't sweat the nonsene, he (January is DEFINITELY a he) just likes to wreak havoc to try and throw everyone off their new year good vibes.

I like the weather in Jan, but it's never been my bff, either!
