2011 was definitely a year of highs and lows.

January

• Work was busy, busy, busy.
• I had decided to end an abusive relationship in late 2010. However, he promised to get help so I hung on. But in January, it was really over and I was devastated. Because work was so busy, I decided not to process anything.

February

• Icepocalypse 2011 – Trapped in my lonely apartment for 3 days, now plenty of time to process the death of my relationship. Not pretty. Not pretty at all. Probably the lowest I have ever been in my entire life.
• Trip to San Francisco to see my wonderful friends Amber and Greg. Monterrey Bay, Chinese New Year Parade, Napa – Just want  I needed!

Seriously, it looks like I belong in Napa - right?

March

• Moved in with a roommate – not best friends but I’m rarely alone. Plus a huge cost savings!
• A wonderful weekend adventure with Renee to Camp Chesterfield with 3 psychic readings!
• My very good friend Nicole’s bachelorette party.

April – Birthday Month (Yes, I get an entire month!)

• My University of Kentucky Wildcats made it to the final four! We’ll be in the final game this year (fingers crossed).
• Trip to Florida with my BFF Crystal including a visit with Toni, Alex, Emma and Annie!

• MY BIRTHDAY – Also known as my favorite holiday!
• Nicole and Eric’s wedding.

May

• A few dates, nothing promising, but at least I was dating again!
• Remember how work was so busy, well it wasn’t in May – I was laid off.
• I decided to become a gypsy – you have something you need done, I’ll do it! Babysitting, moving, packing, unpacking, QuickBooks setup, tradeshows, sales….you get the idea.
• Fell in love with running!!

June

• Fell in love with hot yoga!
• Lots of laying by the pool.

July

• Motley Crue/Poison Concert – Never in a million years did I ever see myself attending this concert. Not my scene, but fun!
• Discovery of lefty.
• More laying by the pool.

August

• Girls trip to Nashville with my 4 best friends from high school!
  

  In the hotel lobby before the fun. You're welcome girls!

• My very first attempt at a 5K run. (Not very successful.)
• Decided I was going to run/walk a half marathon.
• Jimmy Buffett Concert

Wasting away again in Margariettaville!

September

• Blues at the Crossroads Half Marathon – Terre Haute, Indiana

I wanted to finish within the 4 hour time limit. And finish I did. I was slow but so proud!

• Ladies and Gentlemen – Mr. Elton John! This is the 5th time I’ve seen Sir Elton in concert! However, this time I was literally 5 feet from the man! And I took my mom, aunt and BF, Nicole. So flippin’ awesome!

This picture was taken from my craptacular phone with no zoom. We were that close!

• My baby brother turned 30!!!

October

• Completely taken advantage of my one of my gypsy clients. I did nothing but work for this woman for peanut during the month of October. Lessons learned – boundaries, learning to say no, self-respect!
• Freak out – my gypsy client was my main source of income. When we parted ways, I lost my income.

November

• Miss Pam needs a job STAT! Let the job search begin….
• Another race, Goose Poop Challenge with Heather McMahon.

And we're running!

• Matt and Chris’s Wedding!
• The worst interview in the history of the world! (I may have to post on this later.)
• Wishbone 5K run Thanksgiving morning.

December

• Still job searching…..
• Surviving the holiday season.
• Planning for a A-MAZ-ING 2012! (Resolutions to come!)

How would you classify 2011? Good? Bad? Challenging? Best Year Ever?
