Second Blogiversary

It's the second birthday of this blog. I was looking back through all the posts and photos of the year picking favorites, deciding which to link to, and I thought, "Is it possible it was just two years ago I was sitting in my concrete block office in Shoup Hall at the University of Idaho writing my first blog post?" I thought about it for a second and honestly went straight to, "Could that be?"

I had to do the math -- "April 2005," "April 2007"... "Yep. Two years." -- before I comprehended it. So much has happened in this year alone:

Sigtuna, Sweden and Wiesbaden and Brighton and Cortina d'Ampezzo; Mykonos and Aspen and Bad Gastein. The opera in Zurich, espresso in St Mark's with a man who loves me and hot dates in Colorado with a couple who didn't get the chance! (tee hee) Amsterdam and London and Munich and Stuttgart. Amherst and Paris and I'd just gotten back from New Orleans at the last blogiversary.

And this doeesn't even begin to touch on the lessons in abundance learned and experienced through Travels with Mother, lessons in love life development learned through The Game, or all the great people I've met travelling all over like this.

Whew! The funny thing is, you'd be amazed how much time I spend alone at home. It's still among my favorite places to be and is just waiting for you to come visit. Walking in the neighborhood inspires me. And Spring is bustin' out all over!
Finally, I'm about the least likely person I know to pick favorites (despite this recent post -- no favorite movie, color, book...none of that), but I have favorite months of posts. Hands down this year: summer took the cake. Love the photos of my people and home, meeting Stefan in London, just being for months. It was wonderful!

What are your favorites these days... things to do, places you've been, daily tasks you do, books, movies... I haven't read a good book or seen a good movie in eons! (I saw Memoirs of a Geisha on Stefan's computer and liked it (not as much as the book, though), but we don't really have movies in English here, I think... so I don't see many movies at all any more) Would love to know...
