my year in review

i'm not what you'd call a good planner. if i were a good planner, i would not have decided that the end of the quarter was a perfect time to announce my return to blogging. because who doesn't have some time to kill while frantically running around like a crazed squirrel working 67 hours a day? am smart!

but, due to popular demand (if by "popular" you mean "neil," which i do) here is:

Alice's Year In Review! *fanfare*

• remember how i was just starting that new job when i slacked off before? that's still going pretty darn awesome. (awesomely?) i just got a new promotion actually, and will be moving to a Real Office, with walls and a door next week. a DOOR! my own door! i'm going to name him Fred.

• also remember how i was so excited to be single? i, uh, almost immediately got a boyfriend after declaring that. but then! we broke up and now i'm single again. summer is a good time to be free ladies, i'll tell you what ;-)

• you may also recall that i was living in a shit hole. NO LONGER, my friends! i live in an extremely great house now. i lucked out with incredibly chill roommates, the house is ENORMOUS, i have a huge bedroom with my own bathroom, and we have a maid service every 2 weeks included in the rent. maid service! like people who come clean my bathroom! FOR ME! love.

• oh so also? i have a wife now. it used to just be that i had a really great friend, J, and we hung out a lot. then it was more like "oh hey alice, we're having a dinner party on friday and we want you to come! and J is invited too, of course!" ..which progressed to "you're going out tonight? without J? does she know? is she OK with it?" so we gave in and embraced it. we're going to the Outer Banks later this summer with a bunch of friends and they just sent out a list of who is responsible for which meal, and i swear to you it says that "Alice + Wife" need to make dinner on Thursday.

• can we talk a little more about how i have a maid? because i do.

• i went to cancun! with my wife! and a bunch of boys we didn't know. it was fabulous. also, if you are the parent of a 15 yr old girl: just so you know, she is drunk in mexico right now and making out with a boy while wearing a ridiculously short skirt. i was appalled, APPALLED I SAY, at the number of extremely underage kids down there being debaucherous. am officially old and crotchety.

• and then there was the kitten. do you need more pictures? i feel like you do.
