Good Riddance, 2009

The Long, Drawn-Out Demise of 2009 (or, it's about freaking time)

I, for one, am not sorry to see it go. Here's hoping 2010 decides it's quite content offering good fortune, health and gleeful amusement. We could all use a bit of that. At the very least, I'm hoping 2010 grows up to be a pleasant sort rather than the snarky, greedy, underhanded bitch 2009 turned out to be.

As an example. Mom and I went to the Grape Rd. Barnaby's on a whim the other day. Now, we both love Barnaby's downtown. But this ...  I can safely say it was the worst pizza I've ever had. Ever. It was teeming with soul-crushing disappointment masquerading as greasy pizza and rancid onions. We made off with handfuls of their peppermint candy canes just to rid ourselves of the taste. That right there, that's pure 2009 in action.

And that is all I have to say about that.
