Happy New Year! Sexy Nerd and I will be celebrating at the zoo. Yeah, we're fun and dorky like that. Sitting here trying to eat my toast ( yeowch !) it seems like an ideal time to look back on 2011. Let's see... I stepped outside (waaay outside) my comfort zone and attended Camp Blogaway . It's not something I would do again, but I'm impressed with my shy self for going. We bought 13 acres in the mountains for our future dream home ! Sexy Nerd and I became an uncle and aunt... fear of babies be darned. We traveled to Santa Fe (does this still count when you live in Albuquerque?) and San Francisco . Hmmm...what else? Pica resolved to act smarter in 2011. It didn't stick.  I showed you my pale, hairy leg. Here at LambAround, being classy is #1. As for 2012, I'm hoping we'll finally make it to Australia to sight see and visit my family. Sexy Nerd and I have been together 8 years and he still hasn't met my Papa! Craziness. Will we have a baby ...

My teeth are loose - a very unnerving quality as an adult. You always wanted an up close and personal view of my funky teeth, right? Despite having the nicest orthodontist in Albuquerque, there's no denying that braces suck ! Oh, my poor teeth are killing me. Teenage Me , who swore she would never get braces, is very upset with Grown Up Me! She was right all along. Seriously, everyone told me that my teeth would hurt for the first few days but then be fine. It has been 3 loooong weeks and my teeth are just as sore as when my braces were put on. Sexy Nerd says I'm a wimp. My boss, the pediatric dentist, says I really shouldn't expect to or try to eat anything solid, like a sandwich (!) until the braces come off and that a liquid diet would be best. I would probably lose a ton of weight over the next year...but chocolate cake, ice cream, and pudding are all so wonderfully soft!

...because I stayed up too late eating Christmas cookies .
