2015

I blinked and the whole year was over. This year I realized I’m very much a homebody. I like my routines. Here’s my 2015, in list form:

• I got glasses(!), which I only use when I’m reading, watching tv/movies, or driving at night.
• I made regular tv/movie dates with my best friend and actually kept them.
• I spent way too much money on really crappy clothes that didn’t really last the whole year.
• Sewed a few skirts, a pair of pj pants, some dino hoodies, and attempted several dresses that ended up not fitting.
• Watched my little ones grow.
• Went “camping” with a friend at a friend-of-a-friend’s cabin in Palomar.
• Saw a few friends move away, some only an hour away, some as far as Alaska.
• Had a lump(s)-in-boob scare. Had a mammogram and found out it wasn’t anything to worry about.
• I saw my mother go through a double mastectomy. She just finished her second-to-last reconstructive surgery. 
• Had my house cleaned on a regular basis.
• Went to the San Diego Fair.
• Bought too many bento supplies.
• Watched both my kids take swimming lessons without me in the water.
• Watched my big guy repeatedly jump from the diving board in to the deep end at swim class (he loves swimming).

• Took the boys tent camping.
• Watched as both boys hiked Stonewall Peak without being carried at all.
• Watched Game of Thrones, Orange is the new black, and Peaky Blinders.
• Read 120 books.
• Went thrift and estate sale shopping more often than I should have.
• Toured the http://www.nautiluslive.org/ e/v nautilus, one of only two dedicated ships of exploration in the world, and took photos with ROV Hercules.
