Copycat! Saying Adieu to 2007
Snagged these questions from my sis-in-law Carrie's blog... It was basically a "Why the hell not?" kind of thing.
1. What did you do in 2007 that you hadn't done before?
Drive stick shift pregnant. That was definitely interesting. OH, I also had my labor with Jackson induced.
2. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Well, I did. And I also saw quite a few goats give birth, but the goats are necessarily close.
3. Did anyone close to you die?
Casey's mom's uncle Stan died. I didn't really know him but from what I hear he was quite admirable.
4. Did you travel? Where did you go? Best holiday memory?
Travel... not much was done. The furthest we went was to visit my dad in Kentucky. We did that, so yeah. Best holiday memory would have to be Memorial Day Weekend when we visited my dad. It was warm enough that we got to go swimming in the lake (which was a nice 75 degrees).
5. Best thing you bought?
Our new car, a Black Toyota Matrix XRS.
6. Where did most of your money go?
Food, bills and baby stuff.
7. What do you wish you had done more of?
Excersize and I guess help Lily more with her school work.
8. What do you wish you had done less of?
Watch TV. I've become an addict.
9. What kept you sane?
My wonderful hubby. Seriously! I spent a good portion of 2007 pregnant and extremely hormonal. I got really upset because I couldn't find my keys one time and ended up getting Lily to school late. I felt horrible!
10. What drove you mad?
Hormones, hormones and more hormones.
11. What made you celebrate?
The birth of Jackson on September 21.
12. What made you sad?
Hormones, hormones and more hormones.
13. How was your birthday this year?
Well, I was very pregnant and it was pretty low key. I did get Dr. Who Series One, though and that totally rocked all to hell and back.
14. What political issue stirred you the most this year?
Lots of stuff. Mainly Bush being an idiot.
15. Were you in love in 2007?
I was totally in love with Casey (my hubby) as I always am and I was totally in love with Jackson and of course Lily.
16. What would you like to have in 2008 that you didn't have this year?
Doctor Who Series 2 & 3? I don't know. I'm pretty happy.
17. What date from 2007 will be etched in your memory and why?
December 25, 2007. It was the first Christmas my dad and I spent together in 8 years.
18. What song will remind you of 2007?
LOL! Run to the Hills by Iron Maiden (Carrie you can giggle now!)...

I'd like to think I get happier and happier every year.
20. Biggest achievement this year?
Natural Child Birth.
21. Biggest disappointment this year?

Finishing school.

Relatively good with the exception of a major sinus infection and asthma flare up last February (which is how I learned that bleach was not making me a happy Jess).
26. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't really make any new years resolutions. This year, however, I'd like to keep up my weight loss (I'm doing really good with that), eat healthier and take better care of the house (it implodes on a weekly basis... I think daily maintenance is the answer)
27. What countries did you visit?
I only traveled in the US, so yeah... we were dull.
28. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
Money.
29. Did you suffer hardship in 2007?
We were a little strapped for cash, but we worked it out.
30. Whose behavior merited celebration?

38. What was the best book you read?
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Fabulous fabulous read.
39. What was your greatest musical (re)discovery?
