Nice to meet you, 2010, my name is Bailey

Last post of 2009!!

2009 was the first year that the Daily Bailey saw light. And how the world has been graced with its presence. Currently we have 30 (official) followers, here's to 30 more in 2010, and counting!

I need to do my posting now, at 10:39 pm, rather than 11:59 pm, as I am headed to bed. I have spent a rip-roaring evening writing graduate school essays, and am now going to take a sleep break, which will be followed by awaking at 6am, hugging five sleeping bodies good bye, heading to work to make lattes for all the massive crowds who will be demanding them at 7am on New Year's day, then to the library to finish essays, then back home in a stupor/almost-coma, then to bed, then back to work on Saturday.

Raise your hand if you are jealous! Whoo! I'm actually not complaining. I am just happy that it is almost over, and also kind of walking around like an exhausted zombie, saying ridiculous things and occasionally slurring my words.

Much love to all of you, my dear and faithful readers. I know I say it a lot, but I always mean it: your reading means so much to me, as well as your encouraging comments. The writing world can be a lonely one, one where you think you're good at what you're doing, and doing the right thing, but then sometimes you wonder if you're wasting your time. Until someone says "you put my feelings into words," and then I am rejuvenated and ready to type some more, confident I am in the right seat, the writer's seat. Ready to type some more in 2010, and beyond, God willing.

God bless your new year, be safe. Dibbs and I will be thinking of you. Well, I will. Dibby will be eating, licking, biting, or sleeping.
