Yes, I know. I have pictures to upload and doodle on and share. I have a week’s worth of vacation to somehow cram into one or two entertaining posts.

But you know what? It’s fucking COLD here. And when it’s COLD, I don’t feel like doing anything. (No, really, it’s the cold. Yesterday I cleaned my laundry room! Today? I… uh… well I heated dinner. It’s cold!)

So. I’m recapping 2007 Meme style instead.

It is so not too late for New Year’s Mumbo Jumbo. And if it is, it’s fashionably so.

Anyway – I ripped this off from one of my oldest and bestest friends (and college roommate, amongst other things.)

2007 in Review (abbreviated slightly because oh mah hell, seriously?!?!)

JANUARY
1. Did you have a new year’s resolution this year?

I’m sure I did. It was probably to quit something or start something else. No, wait. I remember I went the
“resolve not to resolve” route last year. I’m original like that.

FEBRUARY
1. Who was your valentine?

I’m assuming my husband. If by “valentine” you mean “person designated to ignore said holiday”.

2. What did your valentine get you?

Salt in the wounds motherfucker. Salt, in the wounds.

MARCH
1. Are you Irish?

Actually, yes. In fact, there is a castle and a town somewhere in Ireland that bears my Nana’s maiden name.

2. What did you do for St. Patty’s Day?

Blah blah blah – who the fuck cares. THIS is the month I was SWEAT ON!!

APRIL
1.2.3. blah blah blah – fools, jokes, etc

I made a name for myself as a woman of class in April. The name part is true, at least.

MAY
1. What’s your favorite kind of flower?

Yellow roses. I don’t know why. But I remember my Nana having them by my bed when I visited her in Florida.

2. Do you like the spring?

Yes. What does this have to do with my 2007 year in review you ADD fucker?

JUNE
1. Did you go on any vacations last June?

If by vacation you mean “did you spend the entire month of June landscaping and remodeling a house to sell”, then… yes.

JULY
1. What did you do on the 4th of july?

Actually, the husband and I went to Florida. And bought a house. And sold two others. All over the Holiday weekend.

AUGUST
1. Did you do anything special to end off your summer?

Ummm…. let me think. Oh, yeah. We moved, a little. Have I mentioned that?

2. Did you go swimming a lot in the summer?

Not once, until after we moved on August 10th.

4. Did you go to the beach a lot?

Twice. Which is pretty good, considering it was a real live actual BEACH.

SEPTEMBER
All the questions for this month are retarded. And nothing really happened this month anyway. I still thought I had my mind way back when.

OCTOBER
1. What did you dress up like this year?

Marilyn Monroe. For this little Halloween party I went to. It was alright.

NOVEMBER
1. Whose house did you go to for Thanksgiving?

My first big holiday “away from home”, and we went to “De & Lee’s”.

2. What are you thankful for?

My family. And my friends. I don’t know if I could choose one over the other this year. It’s like one and the same.

DECEMBER

OK, seriously, it’s been like 2 days since December. You haven’t forgotten already – right?

This is the month I lost my fucking mind! Yay!

1. How would you rate your year on a scale of 1-10?

Sometimes you’re the windshield… sometimes you’ve got your ass in your brains.

2. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?

Sold a house. Moved. Lived farther than 30 miles from my mom.

3. Did anyone close to you die?

Someone close to someone close to me. And I don’t forget. Which isn’t at all the same, I know.

4. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?

Peace.

5. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

March 10th, 2007. He. Sweat. On. Me. Seriously.

6. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

Going to the doctor.

7. What was your biggest failure?

I did not fail. I tried to blow up my marriage. I tried to let the Darkness swallow me. But the people around me refused to let me fail.

8. What was the best thing you bought?

Besides the house (of course), my red stilettos that I bought in Vegas. *swoon*

My husband’s.

My husband’s.

Going home. And coming back home.

iii. richer or poorer? I’m not sure, actually.

13. What did you want and get?

Freedom.

A Desperate Struggle For Age Appropriate – Without Resorting To MomButt

The Internet, actually.

Good enough, is perfect.
