dLog: January 2007

In 2006, did you:

Go to a party? Yes, and hosted a couple too!
Try something new? I hope so... I tried to be less controlling ;) lots of wine tastings, test driving cars, changed my deoderant scent (thanks Nick Lachey!)
Have someone change your life? I always learn a lot from everyone, and particularly had more help learning about my self from others last year
Kiss someone? Uh yeah!
Tell your family and friends you love them? As often as I can
Buy something extravagant? Oh yes, the year of upgrades: new laptop, new house, new car, video iPod.
Had someone else do something nice for you? Mike is regularly nice to me, but I am greatful for all of the support we got this year with moving and other life changes.
Do something terribly wrong? I don't think so, I hope not!
Move? Yes! We are homeowners!
Go to a concert? I don't think so actually, this was more of the year of the theatre

Best of the Year:

Party: parties don't really make my best of the year list anymore :( I did enjoy the turn-out and company at our housewarming though.
Show: I didn't really enjoy new TV this year, the only new show I added was Jericho. A good TV moment was seeing Jeffrey win Project Runway against my friends' wishes - told ya so told ya so
CD: I didn't purchase any new CDs this year, but am LOVING me some CD trading on lala! Best lala trade: Deborah Cox:Remixed

Experience: The return of the BBQ grill.
Purchase: our house.
Book: Either The G Quotient or My Freshman Year

Worst of the Year:

Party: no such thing as a bad party!
Show: I make Mike think Ugly Betty troubles me deeply.
CD: Why would I know about an awful CD?
Movie: A "bad" movie that was a total guilty pleasure is The Covenant.
Song: Again, I don't remember bad things, I just change the music.
Experience: times when Mike was not able to be with me

Book: Bad books REALLY don't stand a chance with me...
Month: July
Day: I learned my grandma died

Hopes for 2007:

Predict something that you think will happen in 2007: not a lot politically (unfortunately), V(ideo)OIP will be the new V(oice)OIP, a new "Internet revolution" helped along by Vista and Leopard if the non-interface interface takes off/works
What do you hope changes about your country? partisan politics, homophobia, racism, more concern for the poor & working-classes/less of an economic divide.
What do you hope for yourself? Exercise more, enjoy more days off/rest, read more.
What do you hope for your family? We keep in touch & visit as often as possible.
What do you hope for your best friend? a happy & healthy year, better financial situation.

During 2006:

Where were you when it began? it was only New Year's I've spent in Ann Arbor to date; with Mike & friends.
Did you stay up? Uh, yeah
What was your new year wish? get in shape, eh...
How many boyfriends/girlfriends? Uh, one if you call him a "boyfriend"
Broke up? Uh, no.
Have any crushes? Not really, just the typical teenage girl starstruck sometimes.
Missed anyone? mostly family & friends I don't get to see as much as I would like.
Best place you went to? Salt Lake City was nice and all, but Epcot still has my heart.
Happiest moment? many of them - moving in, #6 w/Mike, new office/new job title.
