The Requisite Post for the New Year

*as I write this, I’m working on my buzz with a wine called Damifino, I am harrassing friends on Twitter, Scout is sleeping upstairs, Alex is sleeping upstairs, my mom is working crosswords across the room from me. All is well – which makes me twitch, I’m not a natural optimist – keep this in mind for the rest of the post*

Suckit08 is almost over.

It has been a shit year for me and for lots of you around me. (I’d link to you all, but see “Damifino” reference above.)

And we have all survived. (Well, that’s not true – we aren’t ALL here, that’s part of what SUCKS.)

I am deciding to believe that 2009 will be my year, our year.

Months ago, Grandy mentioned BRINGIT09. I’ve lived on this phrase since I read it and sent her the response of “fuck yeah! Bringit09!” She even has her own post about Suckit08 and Bringit09.

BRINGIT09! will be the year of excess for me.

An excess of health.

An excess of love.

An excess of joy.

Happy New Year 2009, I’m as happy to see you as Loter is to see her wine.

    As I told Brandy earlier, what cracks me up is that a totally unconnected group of moms started calling it SuckIt08 back in May! I am thrilled to hear that the onset of BringIt09 has already lightened your load.

    Happy New Year!

  9. [...] on the blogs a couple of different people started referring to it as Suck It ‘08. Grandy, Dawn and the writers on Mother Talkers. Grandy followed up with the BringIt09 mantra and I fully support [...]

    Happy New Year, beautiful!! I love the name of your wine, Damifino. Is it chased with a shot of Whothehellcares?

    my suckit year was 2005. and it’s (not so) funny that two other close friends of mine also had a suckit year that year. i mean, divorces, deaths, the whole thing. and 2006? was totally way better, by the way.

    so, happy new year ;)

  14. Kristen says:

    Bless you Dawn, I hope this year is amazing for you as you both move forward and remember with love.
