I found this random list of questions about my year 2007 so I thought it would make a good blog entry, although I did delete a few questions I found silly or totally dumb. Yep that’s me, I have total control over this blog, at least I have that much.
1. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?
Took a week long spring break vacation with the whole family
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Not sure I really made any, I may set some goals to reach this year and I’ll work hard towards them
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Nope, Sister In Law is due soon though and some good friends are finally foster parents!
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No one in the immediate family
5. What countries did you visit?
Only my own, but I’d like to go here, here, here, just to start
6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
More time for hobbies and travel.
7. What dates from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Etched is pretty permanent. I tend to remember small things vividly, like things the boys say. Like the first time I heard Z-man say “Hello Nusre” to a pretty girl. Probably their birthdays, Christmas, and Casey John’s second MRI (actually his whole hip thing/hospital visit).
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Getting a second vehicle (yeah it’s a big deal with two boys and a dog)
9. What was your biggest failure?
Prioritizing at work.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Besides poison ivy (can you say allergic to?) and a bad case of strep throat I’d consider myself fairly healthy.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
My new digital SLR Nikon D40 and the mini-van
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Casey John’s huge improvements at school (no more begging not to go)
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
American politicians in general, celebrities
14. Where did most of your money go?
Boys schooling, and in general the boys, yep the boys. That’s it.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
My camera (sad, I know), both boys being in school.
16. What song will always remind you of 2007?
I tend to have quite and ecclectic taste in music so I don’t really have one song but some current favorites are “Better Not Look Down” by BB King
17. Compared to this time last year, are you: happier or sadder?
I would say happier – I certainly don’t have anything to be sad about
17b) thinner or fatter?
yeah can I plead the 5th here? really they asked this question?
17c) richer or poorer?
it’s not always about money, it always seems to be there when we need it.
18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
travel
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
spend time on this bloody thing (computer)
20. How did you spend Christmas?
at home, watching the awe in the boys eyes!!
21. Did you fall in love in 2007?
with the way Casey John talks
22. What was your favorite TV program?
most recently Torchwood, Dr. Who – BBC America (could be affect my lingo lately too, more on that later)
23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
Hate is a strong word, I don’t think I hate anyone
24. What was the best book you read?
Steve and I – Terri Irwin’s memoir
25. What was your greatest musical discovery?
Maybe re-discovering James Taylor
26. What did you want and get?
Well as you grow up you certainly realize the difference between want and need, everything that was needed was provided.
27. What did you want and not get?
Not a thing
28. What was your favorite film of this year?
Evan Almighty
29. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
29, went to dinner at Taco Cabana (the boys picked where to take me)
30. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
To have been able to make some repairs to the house.
31. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007?
Fashion concpet? I’ve got none. If it’s in the closet and it fits, wear it. Sometimes I think I should go on one of those wardrobe remake shows but they’d probably make me cry!
32. What kept you sane?
My boys, they keep my in the middle of the see saw – half crazy – half normal.
33. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
I think it would be interesting to meet some folks like say Anthony Hopkins, Terri Irwin, Tim Allen (reminds me of my dad), just a few I guess, not really smitten with any though.
34. What political issue stirred you the most?
Healthcare
35. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
“You better not look down, if you wanna keep on flying, put the hammer down, keep it full steam ahead”
