I’ll cut to the chase. List Lady dropped the ball this year. Promises were made and broken. Very few lists got posted. I had good intentions – does that count for anything?
(Insert excuses) – it’s been a busy year – finished grad school, got a real job again, spent many evenings going to sleep before 8pm…this list is even lame!
(Insert awesome end of year list to make up for lack of 2010 lists)-
List Lady’s favorite things – don’t look under your chairs for any of these items – sorry.
(in no particular order)
1. Breakfast foods. Eggos. PopTarts. Bagels. Cap’n Crunch. Maple and Brown Sugar oatmeal. All of these wonderful superfoods have become staples for LL. We hit a bit of a rough patch along the cooking road, and these tasty delights make for not only delicious breakfasts, but also wonderfully healthy lunches and dinners. (Yes, you can feel a bit sorry for Matt at this point.)
2. Track Out. With my new job, I follow the year round school schedule. For me, this means that I get random weeks off throughout the school year. THIS IS AWESOME!
3. Glee. I think this may technically fall under a 2009 favorite thing, but it really took off in the Lawson abode in 2010. Yes, I have the CDs and the DVDs and the theme for Firefox, okay? It’s a really good show, and the haters need to back off. I absolutely plan to force feed it to any and all of my future children.
4. Babies. Matt and I are surrounded by babies – infants, toddlers, middle schoolers. It’s been a fun year of seeing our friends and family become parents and watching those precious pies grow up. 2011 is looking pretty promising, too.
5. (*NOTE: I think I maxed out at 4, but I feel obliged to do one more to satisfy Matt’s love of odd numbers.) London. Not much to say – check out the FB pics. We had a blast. I’d love to go back. Actually, I’d love to go anywhere for vacation right now.
(Insert best gift ever) – to further make up for my slacking this year (remember my attempt at weekly lists regarding Sister Wives?), I present Matt with the best New Year’s present EVER – his own gaggle of Sister Wives (photo courtesy of one very talented brother-in-law):
1. Ms. Jay Alexander – everyone needs a stylist to help them look FABulous.
2. Tina Fey – she’s funny, she’s cute, she’s been a judge on Iron Chef America – need I say more?
3. Snookers – who else could provide him with the zoo of animal slippers that he so desires?
4. Emma Pillsbury – the house will forever more be spotless.
5. Ina Garten – Tina Fey loves her (okay, Liz Lemon loves her, but they’re totes the same, right?), and Ina would NEVER serve premade frozen breakfast foods to Matt for dinner.
Matt, enjoy the extra wives! I don’t want to hear that you “…can’t live like this anymore! I’m not like Jeffrey Garten. I’m not as strong as that guy!” I need this sister wife thing to work out.
(Insert resolution) – List Lady promises to make big changes (and big announcements) in 2011.
