10. “Wonderfully Disheveled” This post was prompted by Write on Edge and ending up being about NOT cleaning up after a party. Or at least about how to do it memorably.
9. “Funny Reasons to Break Up With Someone” Just for kicks. Inspired by real life stories. Not all mine.
8. “Quick Post of Jubilation” We lead a very blessed life. Any pain or confusion that is ours is far outweighed by joy and wonder, a condition for which we are eternally grateful.
7. “Double Standards” This was my participation in a Women Living Well link up and had to do with the way our marriage might operate differently from others.
6. “We Had Them for Breakfast” Not about cannibalism. About Couch Surfers. Which I’m sure are delicious. Not that we would know.
5. “Sea Monkeys” Since writing this goofy little post, my book clubbers have graciously anted up very creative names for my herd of sea monkeys. In the coming months I hope to share a Pulitzer worthy series of stories about their antics. The Sea Monkeys, not necessarily the book clubbers. Although that could be interesting.
4. “Car Show Culture” Restoring, collecting, and showing cars is kind of a big deal in our life. Handsome and I are part of a groovy community of people who do the same, and this post introduced some of that. This winter he started on a brand new tear-down-build-up project for his ’68 Camaro, and I can’t wait to share that with you guys.
3. “Our Fave Chocolate Cake” The honest to gosh truth is that this post got tons of traffic because I linked it to a deservedly popular website, one of my personal faves in fact, but beyond that, this recipe does deserve lots of attention. It is DELISH and is fun to make too. Try it sometime! Maybe for Valentine’s Day, when rich chocolate desserts are almost a cultural requirement.
2. “Proverbs 31 Overview and Realization” Yikes. I started a 31 day series on one of the most beautiful chapters in the Bible and got derailed by family events. Then I couldn’t get my thoughts straight. Derailing happens, but this is a project worthy of attempting again. Maybe as part of Lent this year I can share some of this study.
1. “Fractals” I truly enjoyed the thinking through and the writing down of this heavily philosophical post, and I think this is the point where I made some of my most valued bloggy connections too. The ideas discovered around this time have been echoing in my life in the months since. And I am reminded to try and finish The Shack. Eventually.
These are many of my favorites as well – yay! I have many blessings to count as well, and a crazy bones wife of one of Hubs’ friends and her Handsome becoming dear friends is one of my favorite new blessings of 2011. We have much love for all the residents of the dirt & hooves Lazy W. I have grown immensely from hanging out at the digital Lazy W.
For real, you guys.

I’ve enjoyed reading your blog for the last few months – glad I found you, don’t even remember how now.
Hope you have a great New Years Eve no matter what you are doing. Best wishes for peace and love in 2012.
I can’t wait to get started reading these older posts. I am so glad to have found your blog in the last few months. Happy new year and God bless!
I’m bookmarking this post so I can come back and read when I’m not eleventy-hundred GBE blogs behind. ;O)
Ditto what Word Nerd said. I want to come back and read some of your top 10.
Thanks for stopping by today and for all of your sweet comments. BTW,my snap peas did horrible. Way too much water and way too hot!!! Everything else did great once the weather cooled from 105. I can’t wait to read all of your top posts. I’m your newest follower.
It is nice to see how many wonderful thoughts you were able to have during a year; How many times you were able to be creative, even those times when you did not necessarily feel very inspired.
