Year End Meme & 2010 Booklist
I'm stealing borrowing this meme from willow_wand and hpchickadee.
Open the calendar of your livejournal and post the first sentence of the first post of each month. That is your year in review.
January - Happy Birthday wishes go out today to the fantastic shyshutterbug!
February - First I'd like to thank everyone who tried to help me out with the dilemma in my last post.
March - Happy Birthday wishes go out today to shygryf!
April - Happy Birthday wishes go out to two of my favorite people today... (I'm beginning to see a theme here! ;)
May - So, three months after getting the best boss in the world back, she being pulled--almost literally--from my store.
June - I took two vacation days this week, deliberately backing them up against the holiday so I've had a five-day weekend.
July - I am currently on day three of my second long weekend this year.
August - It was bound to happen sooner or later, but what an odd experience it turned out to be.
September - Even though it was a shortened work-week for me, I had a tough week.
October - So, the final word in the incident where a customer hit Aida over a coupon is as follows:
November - Can I just say, I hate it when the candidate(s) I vote for lose?
December - For Chicagoans and Cubs fans, yesterday was a day of sadness as we learned and mourned the death of former Cubs third baseman and current radio announcer, Ron Santo.
Wow...I've had a really boring year...

In the past I've randomly posted a list of the books I read during the year. I say randomly, because last year I didn't post said list. My computer had gone belly up and taken most of the list with it, so I didn't bother. This year, I kept the list in a notebook so, without further ado, here is my books read list for 2010.

It would appear my reading list was as boring as the rest of me this year. Oh well, there's always next year!
On the plus side, Booker has been adopted (Fastest one yet!) and will be going to his forever home tomorrow. I think we're supposed to get a dog named Chloe next, but I don't know when.
