I will admit, even though my Christmas was great, and i got my sparkly, i am more than happy to see 2010 go. It wasnt a good year for me, with my family fighting, Losing my Job, Fighting with my SO, and other issues, and just issues in the world. I cant wait to ring in 2011, and i hope it is a much better year. Anyone else?
 
Well, yes, good bye 2010 and so long.
 
The year started of great with a new baby in May, but my wife and I lost 3 very close family members this year too. I am sad to see 2010 go because my new baby is getting too big and I already am sad thinking about her getting any bigger. But I look foreward to the future spending great quality time with my girls.
 
Can't wait for 2011. This past fall was really hard, deaths and illness. I want to hit the fast forward button and be at 2011!!! Hoping it will be a better year. And hoping it will be a great year for my fellow PS'ers!!!
 
I am ready to bid 2010 a farewell. It's honestly been a terrible year for me, and I am excited and hopeful for a much better 2011! :)
 
I too, am so ready for this year to be behind me.
but of course I can't change or ignore what has happened, it is what it is.
Life goes on and we make the best of it.
 
I don't really know anyone who had a great 2010. My wedding was in July, but that was really the only bright spot.

DH lost his job, then two days later, his grandfather committed suicide. DH found a new job but it meant selling our first house (that we LOVED and only had for 6 months) and moving four hours farther from our families. My best friend's father died almost two weeks ago and I hurt so badly for her. So yeah, I'm definitely ready for 2011. Bleh.
 
Me. 2010 (and 2009, and 2008 for that matter...eek) were rough. Old job ran into money issues, stopped getting paid, so upped and moved to a new state post-now DH's 1-yr Iraq deployment, took new state's bar exam, unemployed for 6 months, ended up with AWFUL job, and HATED city, DH's dear grandma who raised him passed away, my beloved 90-yr old grandfather passed away rather suddenly, our family's amazing 9 yr old golden retriever also passed away abruptly, decided to move back to Chicago because hated new city/state/job so bad, moved back and ended up at old job (the one that previously stopped paying!), but DH with no job, found out he's getting re-deployed... ETC!... Our 9/11 wedding was of course a bright spot, but sadly the strain of planning took its toll on me and I think I just wanted it to be over.

Hopefully 2011 has happier times ahead for all of us!!
 
I couldn't be happier to bid 2010 farewell. It's been a tough year with job losses, health issues in the family, deaths.... I can't wait for a new year to start to put it all behind us.
 
I am so ready for 2011. I'm not usually real big on the new year, but 2010 has been painful. :sick: Here's to 2011 being better!
 
I am!! In April I got laid off from the job I loved and last month quit the job I hated that I had after that. On top of that DH and I went through a really bad rough spot after I lost my job. Next month though I am starting grad school and DH graduates from law school in May, so I definitely think things are looking up!
 
This has been an awful year for me. Two unexpected deaths in DH and my family. Byron started getting sick in February and we're still fighting issues. There were no unexpected "good" surprises, just very bad ones. Normally we don't do much to celebrate the new year, but this year we're going out and celebrating the END of this year! Cheers to a better 2011!
 
Ditto....SEE YA 2010...don't let the door hit you on the a$$ when you're on your way out :D ! This yr wasn't great on the HEALTH front for many of our family members. I can only hope that our health is better in 2011.

I hope everyone on PS has a safe and prosperous new year!
 
I feel fortunate that 2010 has been a 'good' year for us in that it has been very productive, we have started and completed lots of housing projects, but that said it has been a VERY expensive year with all our building, so there hasn't been much leftover play money. I'm looking extremely forward to 2011 which will be a year of lots of DIY and tying up loose ends, and moreso (hopefully!) minimal expenditure. In January this year we lost our precious terrier Bubbles which was so awfully sad, but fell head-over-heels for our new puppy Snickers.

There's been good and bad, but I do hope next year is more relaxing and financially better for us.
Wishing everyone a safe, healthy and fun 2011! :wavey:
 
2010 has easily been the hardest year of my life. Goodbye....don't let the door hit you on the way out.
 
Yes. And No.

This year has been stressful, exhausting, and just strange. More bad things than good. So it is nice the year is over and we get to start fresh with a new year.

But it does mean another year is gone. There is so much that I wanted to get done and didn't. It also means that another year of life with the people I care about is over and some of them are getting older and having health problems. I don't think all of them are going to make it for another NY and that makes me sad.
 
while i think my husband and i dealt well with everything that was thrown at us this year, we are very pleased to see this very stressful 2010 come to an end.

2010 blew for me! I'm so ready for a new start. It will be better! It has to be!
 
I'm sad to say i hated the years 2008, 2009, and 2010 - I'm really ready for a turn around in 2011.
 
2010 was a great year for me, with the purchase of our first house. I am very excited for 2011 though. It's one year closer to my wedding, and I actually start to plan next year. I'm excited about that and other things.
 
Hmmmm, it seems to me, that 2010 was bad all around for everyone, with lots of death. Im really hoping 2011 will be so much better for everyone.
 
It wasn't a good year.

I haven't posted about this, but my father passed away suddenly in August. I am in the process of probating his estate as the executor. I don't care if a house is paid off, if the deceased had a will, if they planned their funeral, if they owed no money - - it is still a PITA to deal with.

I've got 45 years of my parent's marriage to clean out of a house, an attic, and a garage. Then I get to sell their home in a depressed market. Or just watch it sit on the market while it doesn't sell. :rolleyes:
 
I am sincerely sorry for all who lost love ones this year. eta: I am so sorry about your dad Holly.

This week has been an extremely hard week for my family and I. A childhood neighbor that I have know all my life lost his battle to cancer; he had a beautiful wife and children. Then a few days later my cousin lost her battle to cancer and has left behind a young son and within a few hours my Uncle passed away. I just couldn't believe this all happened within this past week. I am just praying and hoping that no other family passes away for awhile. I do feel blessed to have had all these wonderful family/friends in my life. :halo:

I had no idea Skippy. So sorry... You have so many wishing you well with the twins.. The souls that leave us are a whisper away, and am sure they'd be thrilled for you with the twins... It's bittersweet for sure.. HUGS lady.

Sorry to hear about your DH's grandfather, TG. We also had a suicide of a relative, plus two additional family members die. Also, we lost three cats, including my 17-year-old cat...and fish too, but I guess those aren't considered true pets (???). A LOT of other sad stuff that I won't post right now... just bad, sad, upsetting stuff.

I hope 2011 rocks. It would be a wonderful turn-around.
 
2010 was bittersweet for me. I had both very tough times mixed with extremely happy times. I am looking forward to 2011. I will *hopefully* become an aunt soon and am looking forward for that new experience. But most of all I try to enjoy today. I feel like I have already wished so much of my life away that I make it a point to live in the moment. I try not to pair negative experiences with an entire year! I remind myself that just like the good times pass, so do the bad.

ETA: I am sorry for all those who have lost loved ones this year.
 
I'm sorry for those who have had a rough time, but I had a wonderful year, and look forward to another wonderful one! (Lots of new stuff next year- new baby, DH graduates, I go back to grad school...)
 
No. 2011 is an odd number.

Ick :nono:
 
I'm so sorry to all who have had such a rough 2010, especially those that have lost loved ones.

I'm looking forward to 2011, ready to say goodbye to 2010. Overall, it was a pretty good year, but the beginning, middle, and now the end of my year have been terrible. Lost a good friend to an untimely death early in 2010, my TTC attempts and subsequent ectopic pregnancy have had me in a mostly negative mood for most of the last part of this year, I'm worried about my job, and a dear colleague just lost his only remaining daughter/child to a tragic suicide this week. I do hope that 2011 brings a new baby for DH and I, and good luck all around.

The bright side of 2010, our wonderful trip to France, experiencing the joy of pregnancy for a few short weeks, and winning a vacation for a week nearly anywhere in the world. Kind of a roller coaster this year, but I'm ready to bid it farewell.

My best wishes to all for a prosperous new year! :bigsmile:
 
I have mixed feelings about it.

-My Dad was very ill this year, so having him still with us is a blessing (bad/good)
-I'm starting to get more comfortable in my job, and I believe that I am in the right specialty (good)
-Still having lots of trouble with my MIL and that has caused continual tension in my marriage (bad). Unfortunately, the holidays amplified the drama many times over

So I think it comes out even. I hope that next year is better, but I sometimes think there is no such thing as a *GOOD YEAR* everything is always a mixed bag for me.
