Odds and Ends From 2011

Well. Wasn't 2011 ... interesting? (It was!)

(This is the space where I had a bunch of stuff written, and then deleted. It was like this: ajfalfjkadwoeifjkdlaj. Mushy end-of-year vomit. Gross.)

Now here are a bunch of random photos that never made the blog, but I felt deserved some space on the interwebs. Next year I'll be posting stuff here as normal, but be sure to keep up with my horse, Jay, on his blog. You can click here to go to it.

Happy New Year, everyone. Wishing all y'all love and laughter and adventure in 2012.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you who read my blog (Mom. Dad [sometimes]. Stranger in India. You know who you are.)
