I know, Chantal! That’s why I just added a plugin so you can check the box to get email notifications. LMK if it doesn’t work!

I know, I’m kinda like that huh? Try to do everything on my own. But not so much anymore. That’s part of my recent change – more outspoken. Please never worry about being blunt. I prefer all cards on the table. I wish everyone was like that.

Yeah, things were up for a little while there! It was a nice break. Unfortunately that suffered a sudden reversal. Oh, well. Live and learn, right? That slow, steady improvement I mentioned may be geometric – maddeningly slow at first, then sudden rapid progress.

Shaun, I need to get e-mail updates of comments you make after because I never see the after posts. You know I love, love, love you and our friendship. Like the time I got a packet of 5 or so different letters written on the backs of scrap papers, and possibly envelopes etc. while I was on my mission. I loved that.

I feel bad that you had such a rough year and I didn’t know. I mean, I did know it was rough early on and for several months, but I guess I always asume that no news is good news, and it seemed that the last time I spoke to you that things were on the up. Then I worry about how you feel like people don’t care and then you act like everything is fine. I am way too blunt for your blog 🙂

Tiffany – I’m sorry to hear you agree with me, but that’s the spirit! Maybe misery loves company because then it’s a whole lot less miserable. We could even get some fireworks and begin 2011 ahead of schedule.

I wish I could disagree with you… But I wholeheartedly agree with you! This has been the worst year EVER. We should get together and celebrate that it’s now behind us! Things can only get better, right? 🙂

PS – let’s. I’ve loved you since day one and it’s nice to keep such a long-term friend.

Thanks, Chantal!

Actually, it has gotten better. Wait a sec, it actually got worse for a while there again but overall it’s a slow, steady improvement. Important foundational stuff, too, required to really get everything right (or at least better) next time around. It just takes so much work and takes so long and sometimes I get kinda tired of it. But getting there nonetheless.

Glad ’08 is over for you! I can identify with your poverty but at least I don’t have a roommate like that.

PS – we need to catch up one of these weekends. You are still one of my favorite people ever.

Sorry to hear this year was so yuck. I was hoping that it had gotten better since I spoke to you last. For me, this year was better than last year on so many levels, but 2008 was probably the worst. That whole bar/post bar, so poor I can hardly afford to leave the house phase, roommate (old roommate) hates me so much she won’t even talk to me phase is so very gladly in the rear view mirror..

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you’re right about next year, and that it starts soon.
