I know it isn’t healthy to live in the past but 2009 went by way too quickly. I still haven’t grasped the idea that it is nearly the end of January and since I don’t write checks, I haven’t even written out the new year yet. Yes, I’m still living like it’s last year. And why not? It was a good year. I celebrated my 23rd birthday on the beach in Mazatlan, ran my first half-marathon, watched the Twins win at Wrigley, and was genuinely pretty happy. Yup, looking back 2009 was a pretty decent year.
2010 is off to a rocky start, mostly because of the Vikings. Yes, like the majority of Minnesotans I drank the purple kool-aid this season and was rather devastated yesterday when we lost to the Saints in overtime. We practically handed them the win—the last minute of the game was the worst. I have never had more emotions rage through me in such a short period of time. But I think I’m going to be okay—as long as I can avoid ESPN until after the Super Bowl. Win or lose, it still was a good season—something the Vikings haven’t had in a while.
Now that the Vikings are done for the year, I’m already looking forward to spring and the start of the Twins’ season. It’s been a pretty quiet off-season so I’m hoping something comes up here in the next few weeks—an extension on Joe Mauer, perhaps? I know that would make the mourning Vikings fans a lot happier. And if things go the way I have them planned out, I’ll get to watch the boys get ready for the new stadium at spring training in Fort Myers. I haven’t worked out the details yet but my piggy bank has already been designated towards the trip. I’ll get there, even if its one penny at a time.
My sister and me up bright and early for our first half-marathon.
