It is New Year’s Eve. I can hardly believe it is *almost* 2013. I feel like I just got used to writing 2012. I can remember back in 2000 the thought of making it to 2010 was strange to me. It felt like such a long time away, and yet here we are at the beginning of 2013. Before I get excited for what 2013 will bring, I wanted to reflect back on 2012. Here is a list of a few noteworthy details of my year, then it is time to party like it will be 2013:

• Launched randomolio.com
• Enjoyed a few months of “layoff” land
• Found a job that changed many things in my life
• Read 125 books for a 2nd year in a row
• Moved into my dream house, am still in awe
• I am no longer addicted to feta or Triscuits
• Let my hair continue to grow out – the longest it has been to date
• Learned that I am by nature an introvert, and that is okay
• Stayed consistent with my running regimen, sometimes 7 days a week
• Interacted with some amazing online folks

My favorite posts of 2012:

• Cuddles, kisses, tickles, and hugs…
• We Do Things Our Own Way
• Random, coherent, middle of the night ramblings
• A Letter from Mother to Daughter
• You inside and outside of your marriage

What is ahead in 2013?

Also, I wanted to thank Jackie.Eat.World for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger Award. I have received this award a few times this year, these are my recent nominations.

Happy, happy, happy New Year!
