End of Year Meme

Well, folks. Time for reflection and all that stuff...it was a good year. I kind of figure if you want to recount it in detail, you can click any month on the archive list over there, so an in-depth kind of recap would be a little silly. There are some fun blog memes going around, though...so let's try this one. The rules are: take the first sentence for the first post of each month for 2008 and put them together. Also…put in the first photograph of the month (sometimes from the same post, sometimes not). January: The site looks a little different, except it's exactly the same. February: Wow, kids; again a stretch of days with no blog post. March: I really need to start taking photos more because otherwise, you're stuck with images of me like this one, sitting on my porch at 8 AM on a Saturday, blogging outside because I can't mooch a wifi signal inside. April: "She needs wide open spaces; room to make her big mistakes." - Wide Open Spaces (Susan Gibson) May: Very fun songswap at the Hideout this week with Amanda Pearcy, Rachel Lynn, and Beth Lee. June: You've all heard me gush poetic about Mary Chapin Carpenter, one of the main reasons I picked up a guitar in the first place. July: Well...I am hopefully all situated and ready to hit the road with Susan Gibson for the next few days. August: The title. The Early Year. September: Spent the weekend on the road again (now it's stuck in your head! Haha!) with Susan selling t-shirts and CDs to the fine folks in Wimberley, Marble Falls, and Fredericksburg. October: This one makes me smile because it kind of brings a neat story full circle for me. November: Phil and his awesomeness have announced the winners of the Merch Girl T-shirt Slogan Contest...go to his blog to see the results. December: So the whole premise of the title of The Early Year (do you have yours yet, and did you buy some for stocking stuffers? They're pretty with red and green) was the getting up at 5:30 AM to write.
