Anniversary

Well, today is the 2 year anniversary of my arrival here in Boston. I came up on a Saturday by myself, leaving Tara and Trevor in NJ while I searched for someplace for us to live and slept on Clay's futon. Admittedly, I was really upset about having to coming up here without them and I probably would have fallen apart (more than I did) if Clay hadn't been there to help me out.

The last two years have been very interesting. That is probably the best way to describe them without being overly positive or negative. There have been more than a few lows during that time, and lots of great moments too. All in all, I am enjoying living in New England and am having a great time with the family.

As far as how my career (or lack thereof) has gone since we have arrived, I would have to say that I am dissapointed with how things have turned out. I am hopeful that the next two years bring some positive changes in that area, or at least provides some interesting opportunities.

It's not my two year anniversary of being here yet, but I'll jump in anyway.

This was a good couple of years for me. I started driving again after ten years of doing everything possible to avoid getting behind the wheel. Last month I drove to RI - just Trev and I. I got my very first 'real job' after almost three years of working at home with Trevor. I made a bunch of Massachusetts friends and lost touch with a bunch of NJ friends. I traded one sister-in-law for a better model. I've interviewed 67 child care providers. I won the lottery three times. I got a new car. I created three web sites and redesigned Liloia.com twice. I've read over a thousand children's books out loud (3 a night, every night). And I've read over 100 of my books between everything else.

I've spent about 100 hours of the last two years washing dishes. And about 3 hours doing laundry. I've watched about 300 hours of television and spent at least 7000 hours online. I've written about 7000 emails and 22 handwritten letters. I spent around 750 hours commuting and went grocery shopping over 150 times. And I won one watch, one $100 Amex gift cheque and one laptop.

A lot of neat things happened to me too:

I moved to a new state.
I figured out how buttons work.
I learned how to go on the potty.
I can count to 100.
I had three different schools, each better than the last.
I learned how to write my name and all of the letters.
I learned how to sound out words.
I learned how grape juice affects the inner workings of the television.
I began to love bologna.
I asked over 21,900 questions. Many unanswerable.
I still don't understand why light sabers aren't real.
I perfected the art of aggravating Dad by pretending I can't hear him.
I watched over 2000 Blue's Clues episodes.
Mom still won't tell me how the baby gets in there.
