2010: The year in review.

It’s been quite a year in Howdygramland. Lots of achievements, milestones and excitement. First, let’s take a look at some important numbers. In 2010 I wrote 52 classic movie reviews, posted 12 of my world-famous recipes, introduced you to nine unforgettable Einsteins, confessed to 18 shopping sprees, alerted you to a nationwide Raisinets recall and why you shouldn’t stuff Vicks VapoRub up your nose, launched our Howdygram Boutique and whined 19 times about medical issues that ran the gamut from dentures to diabetes. I also harpooned a variety of celebrities, wannabes and bozos, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth, Hugh Hefner, Marie Osmond, Sarah Ferguson, Bristol Palin, Elvis Presley, Gloria Allred, Jerry Lewis, JonBenet Ramsey, Paula Deen and Liberace ... to name just a few.

As for achievements and milestones, 2010 was the year that Sam and I refinanced our house, planted an Oklahoma Redbud tree in our back yard and took a nostalgic drive on Route 66. I discovered the joy of motorized shopping carts, got my hair cut three times and bought myself a swell new Macintosh computer system, a black aluminum cane, a king-size comforter set and matching bed linens, three pairs of shoes, lots of nice perfume, an Oster bread machine and a Breville panini press. (I like to smell good when I cook.)

In closing, Sam and I extend our best wishes for a happy, healthy 2011. Please don’t forget to enter our New Year Giveaway for your chance to win a prize! Thank you for reading this.
