Best of 2009

So...

James and I compiled a list of the "best of" 2009. I thought it was a pretty good year, but looking down at this list that includes several ways to prepare eggs and one ubiquitous hateful board game, I somehow feel rather silly. I think I better make some plans for this year. We're four months in, and the breaks stopped working on the Taurus, I've started cutting James' hair, we've traded fantasy for the russians and picture books, and MJ is still dead.
