a look back at 2012.
31 December 2012
I know I was rather absent from my online home for the past year, wasn't I? Yeah, bad Nenette.
But that only means that I was busy LIVING life rather than writing about it.
And did I ever live it!
Okay, here are some notable events of my year. I hope it inspires you to get off your bum, turn off your electronics, and do a little more living yourself!... after you read my blog post. Seriously. Do that first.
And... go!
1: Movie: The Avengers (Oh, Hawkeye...)
2: Album: Teenage Dream by Katy Perry (okay, I know it came out in 2010, but I soaked it in in 2012)
5: TV Shows: Doctor Who/The Big Bang Theory
6: Book: The Hunger Games Series
7: Group: LMFAO
8: Viral Video: Psi "Gangnam Style" (I blame my son. Totally.)

Quotes of 2012.
Plucked from the statuses of Facebook...
Roomie: "Ach! I'm going to go to my frickin' deathbed knowing the words to some effing Fanta commercial from the 70s!"
Roomie: "What the hell is he doing here?!!! That value was given, but he decided to work it out for himself and GOT IT WRONG! I gave it to them so they wouldn't have to spend any of their time dickin' around! Argh!!!" #HusbandMarkingExamsInTheOtherRoom
Son and husband are watching I Am Legend.
Son: "OMG, who's attacking him?"
Husband: "Just keep watching."
Son: "Is it the Nazis?!"
Husband: "Yeah, it's the Nazis. They came in their time machine..."
Cranky Sick Husband and I are watching a women's makeover show.
CSH: "What's this show called? 'How Do I Look?'"
Me: "Yup."
CSH: "It reminds me of that prison movie, Bird Man of Alcatraz."
Roomie: "I'm making a meatball sandwich. Should I heat up the meatballs?"
Me: "Yes. You should ALWAYS heat up your balls."
Lam:
The Boy: "Mittens hates jazz hands."
Him: "Your belly's looking smaller."
Me: "Smaller than what?"... because I obviously don't know how to take a compliment.
"Hey, you know, I can make you a portable CD player. I'll get one of my old dead CDROMs from the garage. I'll fix it. I'll even use electrical tape, not duck tape..." I didn't even ask him for one! #HelpImMarriedToAnEngineer
Me: "Hon, could you please get the girl's toothbrush upstairs in the linen closet?"
Him: "In the linen closet. Well, that makes sense. Will I find a plate of veal in there too?"

Roomie: "did I just hear a cow?"
Mini: "yeah."
Me: "minecraft."
