2003
(Post still in progress...)
I approach this last post of 2003 with mixed feelings of nostalgia for the passing of the best year of my life and excitement for what 2004 will hold. My thoughts are jumbled right now so I'll just go back to basics and list things:
Best Day of 2003
July 22 -- The day my daughters were born.
Runner-ups: January 1 -- The day we found out I was pregnant. January 14 -- The day we found out we were having twins. May 16 -- The day Geo and I got married. August 8 -- The day Angelina Grace came home from the hospital. August 18 -- The day Faith Gabrielle came home from the hospital.
Scariest/Worst Day of 2003
June 19 -- The day we found out I was in labor 3 months too early and that I needed to be checked into the hospital immediately or the girls would be born at 29 weeks, weighing 2 lbs each.
Most Idiotic Day of 2003
August 14 -- The day of the infamous blackout which took out power from Cleveland to the Atlantic and up to Canada. It was hot as all hell and I was alone with one of my newborns, who was on a monitor. The power was out for over 12 fucking hours. Not a pleasant experience at all.
Most Enjoyable Movies in 2003
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
XMen 2
Finding Nemo
Bad Boys 2
Pirates of the Caribbean
Movies That I Think Probably Should Be On This List But I Haven't Seen Them Yet:: Master and Commander, Big Fish, Once Upon A Time In Mexico. Terminator 3 WAS on this list when I initially created it, but I just saw it and it SO does not deserve to be on the list. It wasn't bad, just not great.
Favorite Songs in 2003
"Faint" (Linkin Park)
"The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows" (Brand New)
"Hey Ya!" (Outkast)
"I Miss You" (Blink 182)
"I Stand Alone" (Godsmack)
Okay you know what.. I don't have time to do this because babies suddenly started screaming at me. I'll finish this tomorrow. And so ends my last post in the year 2003. See you all in 2004!
