Dorothy has seen her fair share of twisters...
This year has felt like both the longest and the shortest whirlwind of a year. With many moments of extreme happiness and extreme sadness, I must say, this year has been quite a twister. From beginning my year bright eyed and bushy tailed beginning my journey at Disney World, to engagament ring shopping, to my family's tragic loss, it has been the craziest year of my life. Here's to 2010.... I am definetly looking forward to 2011...

38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010.
Don't put off calling someone and telling them you love them, cause it could be your last time you speak to them.
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You cant carry it with you if you want to survive
