...sort of. Idea stolen from Dee Champagne

Instructions: take the first sentence (or 2) from the first post of each month of 2005. That's your year in review.

January
Hi everyone. It's the New Year, but like every new year it cannot pass without some reflection on the old. Click here to read the year in review for 2004

February
...And now I'm back. I've got some gory details on lots of different things, but I'll keep this one general, as I have some interesting thoughts and perspectives on some of the things that happened while I was gone. Click here to read my Sundance wrapup from last year

March
...I can hardly believe it's been 6 years. I'm stunned. And as I write this, it's closing in on 7...

April
...Or at least Happy Friday. Thank goodness. I am so darn happy this week is over it's not even funny. It was April Fool's Day, and I had such the great prank... it just couldn't come together

May
...and it's time again for the Sunday Brunch... which doesn't exist anymore

June
...welcome to another edition of Dear Mr. Spammer! Today we answer those folks who send letters with a link and some mysterious promises in them... Click Here

July
...and yes, I had a wonderful week off. Not much to tell - lots of movies, stitching, eating... everything that a good vacation is filled with right? It's nice when your birthday falls early in the month

August
...Whenever did I give you permission to turn 8, little one? She snuck that one by me...

September
...it's time once again for another edition of Dear Mr. Spammer. Mr. Spammer has been working some really odd hours to make sure that I feel really welcome when I get into my office and see that I have at least 40 new emails about various things. Mr. Spammer wasn't sleeping well those days

October
...hopefully one filled with lots of good things for the beginning of the fourth quarter of the year, and the big holiday filled one. I watch my calendar start filling with things to do and places to be at this time of year, and marvel at how I manage to get anything done between now and the New Year. Obviously I complain too much because that's back when I actually had something called free time

November
...welcome to yet another edition of a favorite (well, I like it) feature of this blog – Dear Mr. Spammer. This week we explore whether or not anybody really knows what time it is...and does anybody really care? I really don't write *that* many Dear Mr. Spammer's... they just happen to fall near the first of the month sometimes.

December
...I've decided that sometimes it's absolutely necessary to be rude. In a polite way. Yup. Absolutely.

So, there's a quick overview of the year... at least in terms of what I was doing or thinking about around the first of each month. I'll write a real and pithy year in review when there's a new year to deal with...
