I go back to work in a few hours after 12 days off with lots of stuff decided and lots of things yet to do. This year has started off with the decision to move and the logistical nightmarish stuff that goes along with that, also a car that decided today that it was tired of running.
What this year has not started off with is the desire held by a large percentage of the Internet to stop eating, or at least to stop drinking and eating specific things. I think I'm eating more, actually. I should probably look into that. I am, however, yes, going to do our wellness new year thing at work and I am going to be reasonable. I just didn't hear the siren song of quitting everything and running a lot of consecutive miles when the ball dropped.
Not that there anything wrong with that.
In the first couple days of 2010 my favorite thing I've learned is how to make serrano pepper vinegar. It's astoundingly easy - acquire said pepper and vinegar, boil the vinegar, drop pepper in it. So I think maybe I'll use this as some kind of totem for my year - the easy pepper vinegar year, that's it.
Meanwhile, as I am the kind of Saturnine figure that looks both forwards and backwards at all times, here are my favorite photos from the previous year, by month.
I'm going to try to stick to one but eh, maybe two here and there or four. Thanks for playing along.

(Totally self-indulgent but I loved the way my hair looked here. Because I didn't do it, of course, and could never make it look this way myself in a billion years. This is what my rockstar alter-ego's hair looks like every day. It was fun.)
November.
December.
You're an incredible photographer.
