Update:  the idea for this post ‘may’ have come from this tweet.

I LOVE the movie 10 Things I Hate About You. In fact, they are soon going to release a tenth anniversary edition, and I am so all over that. And since I love lists (YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED) I thought I would take a moment to say “#%@! you 2009″. Here are the reasons why:

10. I was still living in North Carolina in January. (North Carolina and I don’t get along, kind of a personal thing so please don’t ask)

9. My husband was still deployed during one of biggest snowstorms North Carolina had ever seen. (I don’t ‘do’ shoveling. Period.)

8. My husband left his unit. This meant it was time for a new unit and that meant time for a move. As anxious as I was to get out of NC, I was NOT anxious to start packing boxes.

7. And my husband decided to a ditty move. This meant we moved ourselves instead of the Army doing it all. Great way to make money and to break up a marriage all in one go.

6. And the Army jerked us around. You are going to Ft. Lee, no wait Aberdeen Proving Grounds, no Ft. Lee, no…it’s DEFINITELY Aberdeen. We get to Aberdeen and his unit is all “Why are you here, you should go to Ft. Lee” at which point we considered murder. (For the reason for this boondoggle, read here.)

5. We got to stay at Aberdeen, but will have to move in less than a year to Ft. Lee. Whoopee!

4. My daughter finally discovered the Twilight saga. My life has as I knew it has ended.

3. My son discovered zombies. Do you know how many zombie games are out there? And how much EACH and EVERY one of them cost?! Yeah, well, I do.

2. I turned 37.

1. I’m still overweight.

2009, you can suck it!

Stay tuned for the 10 things I DID love about 2009.

BUT…We are healthy, employed, and somewhat happy…so that’s something, right?
