Casey left to go back to college today and I miss her already. She is such a big help around the house and a wonderful person to talk to. I know she has lots of exciting things to get back involved in and some new things as well. I am already thinking of a few things to send her in a care package.
Here is a challenge that was posted on 2Peas. I thought it was interesting.
One last look at 2006...
What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before? Traveled to another country outside of North America.
Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Don’t think I kept many of them, but hope to do better in 2007.
Did anyone close to you give birth? My sister-in-law Michelle and my babysitter/friend Christi.
Did anyone close to you die? Thankfully no
What countries did you visit? Ireland
What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006? Motivation to complete home improvement projects
What date from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? June 16 because I watched Greg graduate from middle school and receive the highest math award and I watched Casey graduate as valedictorian of her class and give a speech.
What was your biggest achievement of the year? Landing the job at Fred Beans and losing 13 pounds
What was your biggest failure? Not learning to let go of small insignificant things.
Did you suffer illness or injury? Knee surgery on June 15
What was the best thing you bought? The book “The Purpose Driven Life”
Whose behavior merited celebration? My kids
Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Parents who push their kids
Where did most of your money go? Bills
What did you get really, really, really excited about? Blogging - mine, Casey's and so many new people whose blogs I read
What song will always remind you of 2006? Ever the Same
Compared to this time last year, are you: Much happier, richer, nicer. I would like to think that I am much happier because of my job change and much nicer after reading The Purpose Driven Life.
What do you wish you'd done more of? Take more pictures.
What do you wish you'd done less of? Complain about what wasn’t done to help me out.
How will you be spending Christmas? With my family – what else is there?
Did you fall in love in 2006? Have always been in love with my husband and kids
How many one-night stands? Absolutely None!
What was your favorite TV program? Project Runway
Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? Linda - hate is awfully strong, but definitely dislike very much
What was the best book you read? Stacy Julian's Big Picture - changed the way I think about scrapbooking
What was your greatest musical discovery? Soundtrack from Chronicles of Narnia and downloading songs to my ipod
What did you want and get? JAG dvds
What was your favorite film of this year? I have to say “The Devil Wears Prada” which I am watching right now.
What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? Turned 46 this past year and spent the day at Dartmouth with my family. Went to the Vermont Country Store.
What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? Seeing my brothers
How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2006? Wearing a belt again
What kept you sane? Long walks with Kitty and my ipod
Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? None – don’t care for celebrities and don’t care much for public figures either.
What political issue stirred you the most? The senseless killings going on in Philadelphia and the complete disregard for human life.
Who did you miss? My mom and dad – every single day
Who was the best new person (people) you met? My boss Nancy and all of the wonderful people at work.
Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006 – That everything happens for a reason. Had I not lost my job at the museum I would probably still be there and hating it and being around miserable people.
Quote a song lyric that sums up your year: Suddenly I see, this is what I want to be - KT Tunstall
