First sentences

Most years, I do a post of the first sentence of the first post for every month throughout the past year. Here they are for 2011.
  • January:
    This year, my resolutions are to send my son to school with a packed lunch at least 3 times a week, and to be a better house-keeper.
    I wasn't perfect on this front, but I did pretty well. Keeping these as my resolutions for 2012.

  • February:
    Here's the birthday boy, playing Epic Mickey (one of his birthday presents)
    Muffin Man's birthday is on the first of February, so the first post tends to be about that.

  • March:
    Over ten inches off!
    Mystery Mommy gets a haircut, a story in pictures.

  • April:
    I'm wearing this in aubergine.
    Still one of my favorite things to wear.

  • May:
    Muffin Man's science class is talking about habitats, the environment, the food chain, and all that kind of stuff.
    I should have posted the picture myself. Mr. Spock's blog is gone.

  • June:
    This jacket from Nordstrom, it's by Halogen and it breaks my rule about pockets near the rack of doom.
    Outfit blogging, with pictures.

  • July:
    Please keep my Grandma in your thoughts.
    She's recovered well and is back home. Celebrated her 93rd birthday the other day!

  • August:
    We've switched things around at Chez Mystere.
    A picture and description of my bedroom.

  • September:
    So, 11 days ago, I got a Droid X2 to replace my Droid Eris, which died an ignoble death (dropped from a height onto uneven pavement. Smash).
    I still don't know how to plug ICE phone numbers into an iPhone. Do you?

  • October:
    Yesterday morning, after breakfast, I hauled out of the fridge several pounds of beef cubes, a sheaf of golden beets, a bunch of young carrots, a bag of red potatoes, a package of chopped crimini mushrooms, a leek, a large onion, and a quarter of a stick of butter.
    And now I'm hungry.

  • November:
    We didn't know when Muffin Man asked to be the Cone Head Zombie from Plants vs. Zombies this year that it would be so topical!
    I'm pretty proud of that costume.

  • December: There are no words on that first post. It's just a video of The Roches singing "Star of Wonder" as the first song of 25 for the December Holidays. Here they are again.

Happy New Year!!

Nifty way to do a retrospective.

For 2012, feel free to replace your banner. I was proud of being able to make that one, but it's kind of chaotic and some of its imagery is about to become obsolete. I could make you a new one, to specification, or just pick your own. Just don't want you to feel beholden on the point.
