Keely's 2011 in Review

It's always interesting to look back on the previous year and see all the things you saw, experienced and lived. I've decided to recap my year in a couple of ways- first to do a breakdown by the numbers, and second to go over some of the high (and low) points of the year.

By The Numbers
Trips to Michigan: 5
Trips not including Michigan: 5 (Puerto Rico, NC 2, Charleston, OC)
Books read: 85
Concerts Attended: 8 (GirlTalk, U2, Christina Perri, Mumford & Sons, The Decemberists, Rachael Yamagata, G Love, Matisyahu)
Boys Slept with: 6 (plus 1 repeat from years past)
Boys Slept with that looked like celebrities: 2 (Heath Ledger and Andy Samberg)
Bridal Showers Attended: 2
Bachelorette Parties: 2
Weddings: 4
5Ks ran: 3
Dogs Fostered: 2
Hangovers: too many


Best Of
Best Concerts: Girl Talk & Mumford & Sons
Highlight of 2011: Trip to Puerto Rico with Jessi, specifically swimming in the bio-phosphorescent bay
Best 3 Books: Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson, Unbroken by Elin Hillenbrand, Red Garden by Alice Hoffman --this was extremely hard to decide!
Best Book Series: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Trilogy
Best Movies: Horrible Bosses & Bridesmaids
Best Albums: Black Keys "El Caminos", Rachael Yamagata "Chesapeake" & Christina Perri "LoveStrong"
Best Food: the mallorca at La Bombonera in PR ::sigh::
Favorite New Person: Stef Williams of Chasing the Jersey
Craziest Things I did: Polar Bear Plunge, hooked up in a 16th century fortress
Scariest moments: getting caught in a riptide in PR & getting caught in a current while rock sliding in NC (interesting they both involve dangerous water situations!)
Proudest moment: standing up at Jessi & Biff's wedding and being a witness for their marriage license
Funniest Moment: first day of Danica's Bach Party in Charleston with Crick, Betz & Mort- my dress flying up and 4 loco shots in a bodega with a cat

All in all 2011 was a whirlwind adventurous year. Here's to hoping 2012 brings more traveling, laughter and love. Cheers!
