2010

Happy 2010!

It's hard to believe a year has come and gone so quickly, but here we are! Time just keeps flying right on by...

As a child, the year 2010 sounded like a year when aliens would be living on earth and we'd all have space machines to fly around town.

I actually never thought I'd LIVE to be old and 37 sounded very old back then...so I don't think I ever really imagined myself this far ahead.

But if I could have...I would have wished for my grown-up self...

A true love

A beautiful family~ husband, 2 kids, and possibly a dog

A nice, cozy home

My parents & brother close by


A camper


Long fingernails


Singing, lots of it


Full access to Wal-mart (remember I'm projecting from the days BEFORE Target...my grown-up self MUCH prefers Target...)

Watches and more watches

So there are still a few more things that need work...I'm working on my parents this week, as a matter of fact. My brother: Check.

The fingernails~ well, some wishes just change as you get older. My nails grow like crazy and I prefer them short.

I've basically given up on the thought of having a camper...but you just never know. I wouldn't turn one down, that's for sure.

I've been blessed in ways that weren't even imaginable to a little girl daydreaming of what life could possibly be like in the far off year of 2010.

I much prefer the reality...although a flying space machine would be fun, I'm sure.

I haven't made any resolutions for the new year, really. I am making a few changes, but I'm not resolute about them. One of the changes is that I won't be writing on Girly Muse every day. While I enjoyed it, I want to just write as it comes this year. I hope you'll still stay with me...maybe it will be even better.

Blessings to all of you.

Happy New Year, Girly! Aren't you glad some little girl wishes come true, and God surprises us with some that are even better?

Happy New Year! I have thoroughly enjoyed your first year here at Girly Muse! Can't wait to see what 2010 brings!

Lori,
I've been one of those 'lurkers'... The one that reads sporatically & tries to catch up several weeks worth at a time. I've enjoyed every single post. I feel awkward wearing matching Christmas socks with my sweaters. (I'm so not cool)...;-) I loved your brutal honesty. I appreciate your flavor of writing skills. There's been times when I've totally gotten what you were saying & times when I was taken aback & thought WOW! Maybe one day we can share a glass of tea (with lots o' lemon), or coffee (for you since I don't drink coffee) & I can get to know you better. I think there are some things I'd like to share with you. Until then,
I'll check on your posts every now & then. HNY...TS

Happy New Year! I don't know how you blogged so much this year, it's unnatural! I'll miss your daily musings, but I understand.

Writing should be a joy, not a burden (says the woman who blogs twice a month!)

Have a great 2010. Oh, and to me, this place is just as futuristic as I thought it would be. Everyone online, with their headsets permanently attached to their heads...just like the old movies!

Write for the joy of it...I'll be here waiting for the next muse....

So glad you are working on getting your parents closer...you are going to have an exciting and wonderful year....so much going on!

Blessings to you and your beautiful family!
