I know that in past posts I’ve said that I always feel a bit let down after the December holidays because there is so much going on during that month. Then January comes around and it’s like “OK. Months of freezing cold, grey skies, and looking like a marshmallow guy when I go out b/c of all the layers I have to wear to TRY to stay warm. Blah.” So, last night, I decided to think about things all through the year that come up and are fun to look forward to as well. No worries, I am out of the post-Christmas melancholy phase, but it’s still fun/helpful to think of the upcoming things in 2010.
