2008 Year in Review
Go to your Archives/Calendar and find the first entry for each month of 2008. Post the first few lines of it in your journal, and that’s your “Year In Review.”
January: It’s been nice having a break, but now back to work. Back to real world.
February: I don’t really talk politics in my blog. I keep my views mostly to myself because it can be such a touchy subject and I wouldn’t want to offend or be offended.
March: Our first open house on Sunday apparently went really well. Lots of interest, great turn out. And we got an offer about an hour after our open house was over!!!
April: So we still have to wait a few more weeks for them to actually perform on the Today Show (May 16). But yep… new album, new tour, new website, new pandemonium, all over again.
May: Just spent the past few days moving into our new home (and still crazy enough to manage two Duran Duran shows this weekend too.) I’m sore, overwhelmed, full of emotions, thrilled, excited, tired, happy. I love our new house.
June: Trying not to have a heart attack! What wasn’t mentioned is they are playing Spaceland tomorrow night. TOMORROW NIGHT. And I’m going. Holy crap!
July: Duran Duran played a special show with Mark Ronson in Paris the other night. Mark picked all of the songs to play for the 90 minute set and remixed the whole show.
August: Sometimes it feels like Baxter has always been with us.
September: I spent most of this labor day weekend peeved, annoyed, and angry all because John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate.
October: I haven’t posted in what feels like forever. So much has been going on. Good. Bad. Stressful. It’s been a swirl of emotions so much so that I haven’t known what to think about much of anything enough to formulate a post.
November: I stood in line for 2 hours this morning with hundreds of others to vote in this historic election. I’m anxious, nervous, excited, tired. Regardless of the outcome tonight, tears will be shed. And I’ll greet tomorrow full of hope or have more reasons to move to Canada someday.
December: NOOOOOOOOOO! A band I’ve loved and followed since 1998. 10 years. 30+ shows. I’m in shock. I’m sad. I’m bummed. And I’ve got my ticket for the show this Friday. I just didn’t think it would ever be their last.
Happy New Year!
