**Due to popular demand, I have created a badge to tell 2009 to Suck a Big Fat One. Feel free to grab the code and add it to your blog/site**
I have to say that since 2009 arrived 11 months and 18 days ago it has not done much to impress me.
Actually, 2009 has done nothing but upset me, make me angry and make me cry many, many times.
Let’s begin with how 2009 arrived and the economy continued to go downhill.
Things really sucked when my little Tatertot became rabbit food in January and a bunny nibbled on his finger warranting a very long and costly trip to the emergency room.
It stole away the life of a bloggy friends husband and soul mate leaving her behind, alone to pick up the pieces of her life and put them back together.
It continued to suck when the life of a beautiful young girl named Maddie was taken from all of us leaving her family and the rest of the interwebz to grieve and wipe away tears every time we set our eyes on the color purple.
Socks the cat bid us ado and moved on to kitty heaven.
Dorthy Zbornak downed her last piece of cheesecake with the girls as we said farewell to Bea Arthur.
I was robbed of the chance that Ed McMahon would ever show up at my door with a check from Publisher’s Clearing House.
The days of feathering my hair are now in the past as Farrah Fawcett moved on to a better place.
Infomercials are no longer enjoyable since the loss of Billy Mays…..I can no longer use OxiClean…it’s just not the same.
My cousin’s half brother has continued to fight for his life since he came into this world on Father’s Day earlier than anticipated.
My best friend of 25 years and her family had to watch as her father underwent brain surgery and a few weeks later see her brother in a coma battling for his life.
Those of us in the blogosphere and twitterverse have watched and prayed as little Stellan battled SVT, flatlined and than defied all odds and pulled through everything and is now living without SVT (okay, so not all of that sucks but the whole being hospitalized and flatlining—-yeah, that sucked!)
So, let’s just skip to today when I receive word that another dear friend in the blogosphere and twitterverse that makes me laugh and almost pee my pants, teaches me new things, who has already suffered so much in her young life has a stroke and ends up in the ICU.
Seriously 2009….SERIOUSLY!!!
WTF??
This is just a short list of all that has happened this year and well…..
As far as I’m concerned 2009, you can suck a big fat one!
