( Sunday, December 24, 2006 )
so, it's that time of year again (already!) This year I've had a difficult time getting into the Christmas spirit. I dunno what it was but it seems to have passed and now I'm ready for the holidays to start! As I'm sure I won't be on here before the new years here's a year end wrapup


1. What did you do in 2006 that you’d never done before? Let's see, I went to Toronto. I met a celebrity (or a few), I biked from Cranbrook to Penticton, I raised $2000 for a charity, I moved to a condo.....






2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Not so much. I continued the vegetarian resolution and I think I followed the "be more healthy" one, but I made up one to take a photo of Scott and I every day...that lasted about a month. I may try to do that one again though.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Of course! My brother and sister in law had another beautiful baby girl (Nataya) in June. Get ready for the trilogy as they're expecting again!
