The Year That Was - the Photo Edition

Despite the Gulf oil spill, the struggling economy, the Democratic slaughter at the polls, the Real Housewives of D.C. and Beverly Hills, and the fact that there are actually people in this country who think Sarah Palin is fit for office, the Zadge had a good year in 2010!

She did lots of fun stuff outside:
Zadge snowshoes while Harry forages for deer poo

Hiking with Harry and his boo

That smile is hiding sheer terror

So is that one

Hiking with Babe the Builder

Yep, there's that smile/terror thing again
OK, so here the Zadge isn't outside. But she was moments before, playing tennis.

The Zadge rocked out too, but didn't quit her day job to become a rock star like she really wants to, because she can't carry a note or play an instrument:
My boo Keith Urban

Sheryl Crow

Little Big Town

The Zadge and her homies hit the road too:

The Zadge is so green, what with her fresh wildflowers and chemical caffeine.


Better than a Tempur-pedic pillow.
Blue Skies and Black Truck

Through the Crested Butte Looking Glass

Dead folk in Colorado

Backseat Drivers
The Zadge took a lot of photographs this year:
Nice crotch shot

The paparazzi are always after the Zadge

Zadge's favorite photo from 2010
Oh, and thank Baby Jesus of Bethlehem for bringing the Zadge a new loo this year:
Before - Heinous

After - Aahhhh!
2010 brought not one, but two visits from the Fin Fan Club!
The two sweetest boys ever

How cute can one curly-topped cutie be?

Maybe he'll be the rockstar his aunt longs to be

Heaven
The Zadge made lots of new friends this year:
Santa Fe Photography Homies

Bloggin' Sistas Meg and Bee

Funny Jess from BernThis
And she hung with her old homies too:
The Kaiser and his Harem

One of the Zadge's BFFs

Lucy the Lover

Babe the Builder on the Zadge's, ahem, 29th birthday

Late night fun.  Notice the Zadge's wine-stained teeth.
And can we all thank Baby J. again for her new kitchen?
Before - doesn't really show THE BLOOD on the floor from the previous owner!

After - Sit down and have a drink while I cook you a meal!



The Zadge loves her new fireplace too
Once her new kitchen was done, the Zadge did lots of entertaining:


And of course, 2010 was filled with lots of fun with her critters:





Plus some critters that weren't her own:
Best Stinkeye of 2010

Stinkeye First Runner up

This was taken moments before Star gave Zadge the stinkeye.
There were a few low points in 2010:

But my angel ended up kicking some holy-cancer-ass in the end:

There were some fashion mishaps:
Yeah, I spent New Year's Eve 2009 out like that.

It's obvious. White women can't dance:

Of course, there was the failed Mexican romance:
The Zadge is still suffering from PTSD after his visit.

But all in all, 2010 was a great year!  And I'm so grateful for all of you -- my family, my friends, my critters, my new bloggy friends, my lurkers, all of you!!

From us here in snowy Denver, we wish you good humor, good fortune, and good health in 2011!
