Happy New Year's Eve: My Ten Favorite Blog Posts- a Year in Review

Wow, I cannot believe it is already the end of 2011.  Where did the year go?  I have had some amazing adventures this year.  I spent a month living in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.  I traveled to Thailand and India and Minneapolis, MN.  :-)  I have met some wonderful people and some not so wonderful people.  And ended up with some fun stories to tell.  I hope you have been enjoying reading Lily On The Lam this year.  I have definitely enjoyed writing my blog posts.

Here are some of my favorites from 2011 ... feel free to comment/email and let me know what your favorites were if I missed them below ...

In no particular order, Lily's ten favorite blog posts of 2011:

a)  Why I Have a New Found Respect for Kalamazoo:  because I still think James Ryan is one of the nicest local small business owners around, I use his harisa olive oil on EVERYTHING and I love recounting the tales of clerking at the law firm.

b)  The Holiest of Messages are Always Delivered By Diet Coke: because it was a really sucky time and this zany adventure made me laugh and remember that life goes on, whether you're pouty and depressed or not!

c)  An Evening with Top Chef Masters 2011 Winner Floyd Cardoz:  because the opening line is still one of my most favorite opening lines in all of my blog posts:  "For the record, I must emphatically state that Top Chef Masters 2011 winner Floyd Cardoz does not give me menstrual cramps."  It's the truth, people!

d)  Millet, Quinoa, Latin American Men and A Lot of Self-Doubt: because it is so awkward and so ridiculous, it just makes me laugh.  Plus "quinoa" is fun to say!  If you can't laugh at liberal fascism, what can you laugh at?

e)  Eat the Change You Want To See in The World:  Because?  Because it has a picture of Margaret Cho holding up a sign that says "hello Lily"- as if there needs to be any other reason?!  And the pictures of the suspected newly engaged couple allegedly performing "Riverdance" still crack me up!

f)  PANIC! SHAZAM! I'm going to Guam!  Because it's Lily Poetic Angst.  Kick up the drama a notch, watch "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and just enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

g)  Pink was the Color of my Itchy Discontent:  Because it's Lily as Strawberry Queen!  Cover yourself in hydrocortisone and give it a read!

h)  Lizard Blocked.  Fear has a name and its name is Baby Albino Gekko.

i)  The Lengths One Will Go ... Because when it comes to oral sex and a love for Ani DiFranco, one will go to great lengths.

and last but not least ... the 10th favorite blog post, in no particular order ...

j) Bad Dates and Other Things That Make Me Nauseous.  The awkward horror in getting your right kneecap dry-humped without one's prior consent is really the statement that LilyOnTheLam.com wants to shower the public with each and every day.  I am not going to stop promoting this blog post until it's the most read blog post on LilyOnTheLam.com!  Read it daily!  Don't stop clicking on that link!

Thank you very much for reading my blog.  Have a safe and happy New Year in 2012 and keep reading! 2012 is sure to be a crazy year - hopefully with less right kneecap dry-humping!

Happy New Year!
