and really valuing my family time (Polish side)

Lowlights

2- All the bullshit associated with breaking up with your long-term partner
3- People misinterpreting my intentions (on so many levels)
4- horrible dates!
5- moving so many times
6- biking accidents, kitchen accidents, electrical accidents, man, I’m really just accident prone
7 – stint as a secretary for the most boring company ever
8- G20 bullshit
9- money woes, but that’s not new
2011!
I’m really looking forward to the new year- I’ve never been as happy as I am now and with my dedication to writing as a profession things can only keep going up!
