This sure is a timely thread LOL! My family and I were having some serious converstations about this topic all this week. We all agreed that it just wasnt 2009 so much as it has been the last decade.

A couple of my sons were saying the 90's were like a dream, everything just went great the entire decade. All of us are in agreement when it comes down to deciding this last decade was the pits, and we know it covered the nation, and even the world in bad times.

It is kinda hard for me to get excited about 2010, but I am optimistic, and will keep looking for that good coming year.

What I do know is that my butt still has bruises from all the shoe drops the last few years, and I have to really shake this feeling >>>
