2010 Year in Review

2010 turned out to be a pretty good year for us. I found a job that I actually do not mind going to every day, we figured out Clark was allergic to dogs and cats and that is why he was so sick (since his daycare had one of each), we found a new daycare that we love and my dad turned 70 and we had a nice party for him.

Looking at my 2010 To Do and To Do Not Lists I did pretty well. Of course the lists were pretty short and to the point. I cut down on the internet time, stayed positive most of the time, knit for charity and found a job. I still need to work on the stress eating, drinking less pop and losing my patience but I have made some progress in each area.

Reading wise I did pretty well this year. I read 31 books (9510 pages) this year which is down from last year's 33 but I was working full time this year.
