What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out?

I am currently busy cleaning the apartment before tomorrow's blizzard...so when we're snowed in with 10-20" of wintery goodness, we can really just lay back and enjoy the house. Is there anything better than waking up in the morning knowing that there is no reason to leave your warm, cozy home? There is no reason to change out of your pj's...unless it is to put on cleaner, cuter, comfier pj's? So this will be quick-ish...
Because I feel like I've already talked about some of the larger transitions in my life via #Reverb10 and other blog posts, I'm copping out and doing a Top 10 list. I think it will give a nice snapshot of the decisions (some wise, some dumb-luck) that have had a considerable impact on my life in this past year.

My Top 10 Best Decisions of 2010:
10) Getting a couple of those button-down, dress shirts with the ruffles on the front that seem to be all the rage right now. Who knew I'd be into that?
 |
| This is not me. But I do own this shirt. |
9) Working patiently until I was much more comfortable with SPSS syntax files.
8) Reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
7) Teaching my Befri and his bf how to play Catan. Let's hear it for wonderful nights chock full of nerd games!
 |
| Yes We Catan! |
6) Starting this blog. Hooray for more creative writing! Hooray for self-reflection! Hooray for new interweb friends!
5) Convincing one of my very dearest friends to abandon her husband and child to spend the better part of two days playing in downtown Seattle. Chowder and crab legs and girl talk and an awesome hotel room. Couldn't have been better!
 |
| 5 kinds of chowder + crab roll = Chowder Coma |
4) Running a 4K and a 10K with my brother...who is fit, funny, and keeps perfect pace!
 |
| Ronnings on the run! |
3) Trying the Lentil & Potato Crunchy Curls from Trader Joe's...who knew a snack food could change your life?
2) Applying for a job for which I was not remotely qualified, in hope that they would remember my materials when a more appropriate job came along.
1) Consistently choosing optimism over pessimism, laughter over protest, and joy over fear.
Life is so, so good.

| Lentils FTW! |

I like the way you so gracefully mix the light and fun wise choices with the more meaningful ones. And when we get a Trader Joe's next year I'll have to try a lentil snack, really, lentils?
Thanks! :)
And yes, they are amazing! Sort of like Bugles...but heartier...and potato-ier/lentil-ier. I even talked the guy behind us in line to get them last night...am spreading the gospel of the lentil snacks.
If I may weigh in.. Those lentil snacks are soooo good.
Love you! Love your reverbs!! I can see you sitting on your couch,wrapped up in a quilt, laptop on your lap, diet coke near by typing away and perhaps chuckling a little as you write! Miss you!
And yes the lentil snacks are AMAZING!
Totally forgot my screen name was mommytoone...goodness wonder when I started using that. Anyway...back to cleaning for me! DeeBott
