eggstatic about 2009!

i love 2009.  ah…2009. those four numbers have a lovely ring to it, don’t they?  and just like my brand-spanking-new super-sized, i’m-so-hollywood chloe sunglasses, the new year feels like it has so much potential for unfettered awesomeness.

supersized awesomeness in '09

and let’s be honest…it can’t be that hard as 2008 kinda stunk.

you see, coco is a hopeless optimist. i thought 2008 would be the year to beat all years.  i believed that madonna and guy ritchie would make it. i thought i’d lose those pesky 10 5 pounds that make my thighs look scarier than a monster from an old godzilla movie.  and  i truly thought that it was my destiny to bump into david beckham at the grove…literally “bump” into him like all the ingénues do in romantic comedies when they encounter ‘him’.  and then he’d send me a little van cleefs set as they matched my big eyes sunglasses.

he had me at "van cleefs"

but alas, madonna left guy,  i still have mothra thighs,  and i’m still van cleef-less. thanks for nothing, 2008!

yet, when i look back to 2008’s trials and tribulations, i have to say that those pesky 12 months might have been good for the coco.  losing my job last march meant being vulnerable and scared…two things i’ve never been really good at.  learning that ‘the one that was supposed to be forever’ got married to someone else meant finally mourning the loss of love so that new chapters could be written.  and while being told by my doctor that i’m of “an advanced reproductive age” made me want to rip her ovaries out and stamp on them,  it also made me finally start thinking seriously about a mommy.

so, while i may have lost a few paychecks and A LOT of viable eggs along the way, i seemed to have somehow gained a smidge of perspective in the good-ole naught eight.

and perspective weighs less than muscle, right?  yey!

happy belated new year y’all and here’s to a wonderful year ahead!
