| 2006 recap meme |
Thought I might as well do this meme again just like last year.
2006 In Review
1) Was 2006 a good year for you?
It was a pretty good year as years go. Bubba became a stay-at-home dad so I knew I didn't have to worry about my kids. We've kept up financially pretty well. I still have a job with insurance. Generally, things have been good.
2) What was your favorite moment of the year?
hmmm..online, I was happy when the drama stopped finally. It was ugly there for a while back in January. In "real" life, there were many good moments. It's hard to pick just one. Most of them have to do with my kids. Brianna's high school marching band (that she is a part of in the guard) won the State championship again in August. Braelyn started kindergarten. Jameson was finally fully potty-trained and stopped wetting the bed (and the bathroom rugs.) It's the little things, you know.
3) What was your least favorite moment of the year?
Chris Daughtry getting kicked off American Idol. kidding. I WAS bummed, but that doesn't really qualify here.
I broke my blog this year. That was an extreme low. I seriously almost hyperventilated. I got some help from a good blog friend and then I finally ended up with the pinkness you see now. I am totally itching for a change now.
4) Where were you when 2006 began?
Right here at home watching the New Year's Eve shows on tv.
5) Who were you with?
Bubba. Kiddies were in bed and Brianna was at a party. Fun stuff. Actually, I prefer being at home. I don't like big crowds or smoky bars so we stay home.
6) Where will you be when 2006 ends?
I'll be at home watching the ball drop and realizing that I am getting old because all of the musical performances on the New Year's show will suck and sound awful and then I will probably have to pretend to kiss someone at midnight because Bubba doesn't feel well and he will most likely be in bed already. Sound like fun?? Wanna come over?
7) Who will you be with when 2006 ends?
See above. Brianna is over at the boyfriend's house and the babes will be sleeping.
8) Did you keep your new years resolution(s) of 2006?
See the post right before this one.
9) Do you have a new years resolution(s) for 2007?
scroll down..I already posted them.
10) Did you breakup with anyone in 2006?
Well, the only person I have to break up with is Bubba so that would be a great big NO.
11) Did you make any new friends in 2006?
a few new blog friends and a couple of myspace friends who actually are old acquaintances
12) Who is your favorite new friend?
I shall be diplomatic and say ALL of them!
13) What was your favorite month of 2006?
Not sure I had a favorite. The months that we are busy with band and guard are always fun.
14) Did you travel outside of your country in 2006?
I do not have a passport, nor do I fly, so...NO.
15) What different states did you travel to in 2006?
I stayed my butt in Indiana all year long.
16) Did you lose anybody close to you in 2006?
No, and for that I am thankful.
17) Did you miss anybody in the past year?
I just miss some old friends who I used to talk to often.
18) What was your favorite movie that you saw in 2006?
I didn't see very many movies this year but I thought Pirates 2 was pretty good. Cars was good as well.
19) What was your favorite song from 2006?
No one is allowed to make fun of me...I have a wide range of music that I love. Doesn't matter to me if it is musically superb, if it makes me happy, then I like it.
I liked, "Sexyback" by Justin Timberlake, "Black Horse & the Cherry Tree" by KT Tunstall and "Waiting on the World To Change" by John Mayer. Just three of the many many songs I loved this year.
20) What was your favorite record from 2006?
If by record this means CD, then just about the only full CD I've heard this year has been "Daughtry" and I love it.
21) How many concerts did you see in 2006?
This is a sore spot in my life. I saw NO concerts this year. I missed DMB once again. I missed INXS. I missed lots of people I wanted to see. blah.
22) Did you have a favorite concert in 2006?
shut up.
23) Did you drink a lot of alcohol in 2006?
I had a couple of margaritas at Chili's. Is that a lot?
24) Did you do a lot of drugs in 2006?
dumbest question EVER. This HAD to come from a myspace survey.
25) How many people did you sleep with in 2006?
I don't have enough fingers and toes to count them all....ha ha...just one, Bubba.
26) Did you do anything you are ashamed of this year?
I can't think of anything. Surely I would remember if something shamed me.
27) What was the worst lie someone told you in 2006?
I'd rather not get into that here...in case the wrong person reads this...
28) Did you treat somebody badly in 2006?
I hope not..but if I did..I'M SORRY!
29) Did somebody treat you badly in 2006?
I don't think there was anything worth mentioning.
30) How much money did you spend in 2006?
As much as I made. We never have extra.
31) What was your proudest moment of 2006?
Watching my kids do well in school. Braelyn learning to read.
32) What was your most embarrassing moment of 2006?
I'm sure SOMETHING embarrassing happened this year...
33) If you could go back in time to any moment of 2006 and change something, what would it be?
I would have stayed on my diet and lost some weight.
34.) The best thing that happened to you in 2006?
I celebrated my 16 year wedding anniversary with my husband.
35) What are your plans for 2007?
I really just want to be happier and thinner and richer. Is that too much to ask?
That's it, y'all. I might be back later as I watch the NYE shows.Labels: 2006, memes, year in review |

| Resolutions revisited |
Here we are at the last day of the year. I thought I'd go back and see what I listed as my resolutions at this time in 2005. I'm not one of those people who "don't believe in" making resolutions. I just look at them as yearly goals. No big. I don't feel pressure to meet these goals but just kind of keep them in the back of my mind and hope I make it to just one of them at least.
Here is what I listed as my resolutions.
- Read more. The goal was 2 books a month. Um. No. Didn't happen. However, I have tried in the past month or so, to revisit my love of reading. I currently have 3 books that I am reading.
- Lose weight. Didn't happen. Well, I lost a little, but gained it back. I think this resolution has been on my list for at least the past 20 years. Some day, I will accomplish it. I won't give up entirely.
- Get my house organized. check Thanks entirely to Bubba, this one has been pretty much accomplished.
- To not let people and things at work stress me out so much. I tried. I really did. That is all I'll say.
- Organize my scrap stuff and photos. Uh, yeah right.
- Send birthday and Christmas cards to friends and family. Didn't happen. I will always be bad at that.
- Walk for exercise on a regular basis. ha ha
- Have more dates with my husband. check We had a few so I will count this as accomplished!
- Get and stay caught up on the laundry. check Thanks to the wonderful and talented Bubba, this has been accomplished. There is rarely ever one basket full of laundry waiting to be washed. He ROCKS!
3 out of 9. That's a third, right? I'm terrible at math. :) That's not bad except 2 of those three were accomplished by Bubba and not me. What are my resolutions for this year, you ask? Well, let me just list them right now.
- Lose weight. Yep, I'm listing it again. I'll keep listing it until it actually happens and I don't need to lose weight anymore. What I wanted to write was "Get on the Biggest Loser" but I can't let myself hope too hard for that. Yes, I am still going to apply. The appy is pretty much done. It's the dang video that is hard to finish. Even if I don't make it on the show, I want to lose at least 50 pounds this year.
- Organize my scrap stuff and photos. Still on the list until I get it done.
- Less computer time. Seriously, I have to get my butt out of the computer chair and do other things. It's an addiction, I tell ya! At the very least, I am not going to log on the computer until my kids are in bed at night.
- Be happier in general. I just haven't been very happy in recent years mainly because of my fat. So, I am going to try to make an effort to get beyond that and just be happy. No matter how hard it is.
I think I will leave it at that. There are a few other little things that really just end up being a "to do list" and I just won't bother putting them here.
That's it. Those are my goals. Lofty or not. Check back here in a year. I'll let you know how I did.Labels: 2006, resolutions |

| The first of probably many end-of-the-year memes |
I don't care if you hate them, I'm meme-ing today. I'm off work and just sitting around wasting time before I start a present wrap-o-thon.
I did this meme last December and thought it might be space filler fun again.
Here's how it works. Go into your archives from 2006 and post the first sentence of the first post from each month. Sounds like fun, huh? Like I said last year, this could either be fun or incredibly boring. You don't have to explain them, but I thought I would go ahead and give a short explanation.
January-"Thanks for stopping by." (from the obligatory Happy New Year Post.)
February-"I don't have much to say at the moment, but I will say this." (a short and sweet non-political political post.)
March-"One word---BORING!" (an American Idol Top 10 girls post)
April-"I have a ton of things...little things...that I want to talk about." (a mish mash post about lots of things.)
May-"No, no...this is not more posting on our big date Saturday. ;)" (a post about the show "Big Love" on HBO.
June-"She was born by c-section, 15 days late, on February 25, 1991. Bubba and I were just barely 20 and 19." (a Thursday Thirteen about my daughter, Brianna)
July-"Bubba got the kids temporary tattoos the other day." (a cute kid anecdote)
August-"Ok, so I missed live blogging the show on Sunday night...and I haven't fed you guys any spoilers lately." (a Big Brother post)
September-"Here are some things I'd rather be doing than working on a Friday..." (self explanatory)
October-"Remember that episode of "Friends" where they were watching the prom video?" (a post about how I hate having my photo taken)
November-"You knew I would." (Halloween photos post.)
December-"My sister called me at work today." (about my sister meeting Ponch!)
Now wasn't that a hop, skip and a jump down memory lane? Fun stuff. Now I won't tag anyone, but Cristie and Tara had better do it. ;)
Merry Christmas!!!!Labels: 2006, memes |
