Oh my, 2011, you were EXCITING. Not as exciting as braces, of course… OH WAIT, I still have THAT to look forward to next year?! *hip-hip-hooray*

January: I started crossing things off my bucket list DAY ONE. My first article was published in Pittsburgh Magazine. I was selected as Rookie of the Year (in the blogging world) — did you resolve to be a better Burgher? I got new skates. And I started cooking for the boyfriend (god help us all).

February: Ahhh, vacation. We also welcomed a new loveable and furry friend to our family.

March: I tried out for SCDD Fresh Meat and made it. But I also found a new sport passion — the PAHR. The boyfriend and I celebrated two years together. *clink*

April: Um, me and April were kind of on a break… IN CHICAGO. Aside from that, it was seemingly a boring month. Huh.

May: BIRTHDAY MONTH! I turned 34. *sigh* And hosted our first visitors. And the Birthday Week shenanigans continued. I revisited some of my past — THE WHORE. Wow, birthday months are exciting, no?

June: ROAD TRIP! Likely, our last to Indiana. Ever. I also road tripped to Philly for ECDX, which I wrote about… finally, in July.

July: I had a skin cancer scare. Complete with biopsies. And stitches. And “gray area”…
But on a happier note, I passed my WFTDA minimum skills test. I was also voted as part of Pittsburgh’s “Twitterati.” Much, pleased.

Oh, OH! I also participated in my first Flash Mob. AND THERE’S EVIDENCE!!!
