did one of these last year, I am glad I remembered to do it again.

What did you do in 2006 that you’d never done before?
- There are so many new things you experience with a first child, far too many to list. We did take our first real family vacation.

Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions? Will you make more for 2007?
- I didn’t have much of a resolution last year. I resolve to make 2007 a healthier year, in every way. I just thought of another fantastic resolution, and also just forgot it. It’s too bad, maybe it would have changed the world.

What places did you visit?
- Our first family vacation to Florida, and a mini trip to Colorado.

What events marked 2006?
- J started a new job. J bought a car. I started my photography business, and many websites.

Did anyone close to you give birth?
- Everybody is having babies lately.

Did anyone close to you die?
- No, it has been a pretty healthy year for everyone.

What do you wish you’d done more of?
- Saved more money (just like last year), taken more trips to the park.

What do you wish you’d done less of?
- Could have spent less money (although I am sure that if I had it to do over again I would spend the same or much more). Could have eaten less, that would have been great. (Those two things I took directly from last year, man I am predictable.)

What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
- I think we are buying a home this summer, that will be fantastic. I would also like to have health insurance that costs less per month than paying for a doctors visit out of our own pockets. (You don’t want to get me started on the problem with health care in this country. We are so much more fortunate than so many of the world’s people, but we could improve on this.)

What date from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory?
- I am not sure that there is one. Nothing sticks out to me for a specific date.

What “things” did you want and get?
- J got a new car. A got lots of things. I got lots of things for A that make my life as a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom - **it as* ho mother****er) much easier.

What “thing” did you want and not get?
- The social life of most people our age, although we have really grown out of that.

What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
- I turned 24. (wow that’s just 1 more than last year. This questionnaire was made for geniuses.) I don’t think we did anything specific on the actual day, but our family vacation was just the week before. That was the best trip I could have ever hoped for.

What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
- More sleep! More time with husband J! (again the same as last year, I’m not sure this is an answer that will ever change)

What was the best thing you bought?
- I think it was this year that we purchased my camera that allows me to have my photography business. It is a great camera, although I really do need a more professional one, specifically one that costs an unfortunate $3000.

Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?
- Husband J. We are always calling each other and sending each other messages.

Compared to this time last year, are you……Happier or sadder?
- I think I’m about the same.

Thinner or fatter?
- I plead the 5th.

Richer or poorer?
- Richer I suppose; although we spent most of it.

What were your favorite films of this year?
- I love movies. The recent ones that stand out are V for vendetta, Lucky Number Slevin, and Casino Royale.

What was your favorite TV program?
- CSI (the original in Vegas, not those other crappy ones), Shark, House, Till Death, The Loop.

What was your greatest musical discovery?
- When I get around to it I will ask my husband the band names. I do however really like all of Justin Timberlake’s new stuff. He has come a long way since the boy band days. This is his best musical accomplishment. Amazingly, I couldn’t want him more after this song.

Who were the best new people you met?
- I don’t know that I really met any new people.

How many different people did you kiss in 2006?
- The answer to this question will never change.

How many people did you have sex with in 2006?
- Will also never change.

Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
- Hate is such a strong word.

What was your biggest achievement of the year?
- My photography business. Hopefully the achievement for next year will be for it to have actually made some money.

What was your biggest failure?
- If I could think of one I don’t think I would admit it.

Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006.
- I am working on a whole new page for this. I will link to it here once I finish it.
