Top Ten Posts of 2009

This is my 2009 "best of". I picked them. They're not based on hits, or number of comments or anything indicating they were better than any other post. I just picked 10 of what I consider our most interesting posts this year. 

We started the year with The Snowpocalypse, and Rubi's post about it. Then later in the year I updated with a summary of a few weeks in the life, which included remodeling! and more remodeling. At one point my job and I were in the news. At the end of September, Rubi got a new job. I feel it necessary to include the Muppets rendition of a classic Queen tune.   At Thaksgiving I like to post my yearly Thankfulness post. And Rubi and I started a podcast!

And here's a bonus, Miss Kitty!

Happy New Year!

2009 Year in Review

I did a decade in review first... then thought I might as well do a year in review as well.

January: Snowpocalypse! An ice storm forces us to spend a week with at Rubi's parents' house because ours was without power.

February: We got to come home!

March: uh... Daylight Saving Time began?

April: can't think of anything.

May: Duh, 15th wedding anniversary!

June: Massive remodeling project on the kids' rooms.

July: The kids spent a week with Rubi's parents. Awesome!

August: Rubi begins occasionally guest co-hosting Massively Speaking, the podcast from the website she will later become employed at.

September: Rubi gets hired on at Massively.com!

October: Rubi stresses over working two jobs, and her secratary job finally succumbs to the pressure. Kevin and Rubi start a podcast. Rubi's sister moves to Texas.

November: I have to work Thanksgiving. Again. The first episode of our podcast hits the feed.

December: We welcome Miss Kitty Fantastico into our home.
