For the third year in a row, I give you my year in review, consisting of the first sentence from the first blog post of each month. For those with too much time on their hands, there is a link to each post.

I always admired Benazir Bhutto, though I’ll quickly admit that I do not follow Pakistani politics much at all. However, the very fact that she was a female leader in a Muslim country impressed me.

If you pay your mother to add the 200 texts-per-month message plan to your cell phone, you might want to stop at 200 before the billing month ends. If you send an extra 240 in the last three days, you may not see your allowance again till after Easter.

Shamelessly stolen from Busy Mom.
1. Wrapping or gift bags? Some of each. I like the fact that gift bags are more eco-friendly. And easier for oddly-shaped gifts.
2. Real or artificial tree? One of each. A real one in the living room, and a small artificial one in the family room. [...]
