As seen in The Clutter Museum, post the first sentence of the first post for each month.

January: This is the first new year’s eve in a while where I’ve overindulged.

February: I didn’t listen to the SOTU, but I read summaries and listened to the coverage of it on NPR this morning.

March: Both Elizabeth and Laura have posts about the Newsweek article (which I haven’t read) on the European system of offering parents lots of time off and part-time job opportunities.

April: Just returned from a kick-off event at Mt. Holyoke for a Women’s Public Voices grant.

May: I spend part of every Sunday watching This Week and Reliable Sources.

June: 1. Do you use an alarm clock to wake up? Yes

July: One thing blogging does for me is help to sort out all the crazy thoughts in my head.

August: I’m still sorting all this out, but I thought I’d give it a stab.

September: It’s been a long week. I’ve attempted to start working on those resolutions I’ve made.

October: I originally started this as a comment, but thought it deserved a place in the sun.

November: Why does it always seem that everything has to be done at once?

December: I’m about a third of the way done with this chapter.

In summary: I started the year hungover and spent the rest of it commenting on things I haven’t read and trying to sort out various things in my life. Sounds about right.
