1/1/11

When I was younger I just LOVED these "palindromic" dates. I think the most remarkable one in my teen years was 8/8/88 (I was 17 then), I wrote so much that night! I used to feel like these dates were very "historic" and therefore worth celebrating. I didn't care for 9/9/99 too much because I was already older and less prone to these kind of musings. I didn't want to let 1/1/11 to pass without writing about it, though. Particularly after I noticed that the Lioness had written a post with this title (thanks!).

As usual, it's over an hour later, but I have a good excuse. We are visiting "old" (OK, recent, from 2007-now) friends in Pennsylvania and came to a New Year's party to see them. K is still downstairs talking with our host.

I already wrote three posts about the New Year, I had them all typed up since 12/15/10 -- I really was very organized this year! I thought I was going to post them yesterday on the 31st, but I didn't need to because I had enough posts to reach my goal. So, don't miss: what I want for 2011, my wishes for 2011, and what will happen in 2011.

Happy New Year, my friends near and far!!
