I stole a meme from Zoot which will have to suffice until I get some creativity infused into my body.  I’m still blah from the holidays.  My brain.  It’s just not ready!  Oh. Whine.  I know.  Shhh.

1. What did you do in 2006 that you’d never done before?
•    Got married!
•    Went to Europe!
•    Bought a house!
(not in that order)

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I’m not sure I made any resolutions last year.  We were too busy being holed up on the couch while EHH recovered from an appendectomy so I don’t think resolutions were number one on my mind.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
OMG!  Like four MILLION!  Heather, Michelle, Christina, Melissa – 3 girls and a boy!

No.  Thank God.

Patience.

7. What dates from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

9. What was your biggest failure?
Why dwell?

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Daily.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
Our hardwood floors.  Though I guess we haven’t really “bought” them yet.  Gotta love 1 year no payments/no interest.   I guess my new cell phone – her name is Pearl – if I’m taking this question literally.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Youngest niece.  She was so well behaved before, during, and after our wedding.  Awesome for a 3 year old.

Grey’s Anatomy I think.  But Entourage and Rescue Me are up there.

24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
Hate is a strong word.  I try not to focus on people I hate, but saying yes would be the safe answer though I can’t think of a name right now.  Oh wait.  Yes I can.  And Yes.  Definitely.  Hate.

25. What was the best book you read?

37. Who was the best new person you met?
I pondered over this for a while and I really think the best new person we met was our realtor, Lisa.  She rocks on lots of levels.  And her husband makes a fucking mean Bloody Mary.

38. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006.
It really does feel better to just let go, be yourself, and embrace the crazies.
