2008: Year in Review

The structure of this meme is the first sentence of the first post of each month for the year. I stole this meme without permission from Liza Was Here

January: Last night I was very tired and wanted to go to bed as early as possible.

February: Jeff and I decided to go ahead and buy a new mini-van.

March: During our last move the boxes carrying all our loose pictures was destroyed.

April: My husband is driving home as we speak.

May: Lily is nearly five and we finally moved her into a twin bed.

June: Jeff just found out that he passed his final comprehensive examination with distinction and now he has earned his Master's Degree in Military History of World War II.

July: I am beginning to recover from my cold.

August: Lily got me up at 5:45 A.M. this morning.

September: We made it home safe and sound.

October: Last week I got a letter from the library telling me that we had two overdue books.

November: Every time I vote it reminds me of my grandma.

December: Lily is having some belly issues as a result of her current antibiotic.

What I learned from this exercise is that I such at the opening sentence. Seems I use it more to set the scene than to be exciting and draw people in. I thought the titles of my posts were a lot more exciting than the first sentences. Something to work on I suppose. What about you anyone care to play?

As I was reading this, I was thinking that this meme worked very well with your style of writing. I don't think you suck at opening sentences at all! Sometimes people use too much fluff and I lose interest before I even figure out what the post is going to be about.
