Recap of 2007

Well, it looks like I'm the last one to post my list...

In 2007 I gained a handsome little nephew who is my first godson!

I lost a big part of myself that I'm afraid I might not find again.

I stopped listening to people who tell me what to do.

I started listening to my gut instincts again.

I was hugely satisfied by the progress I made on my book.

I am so embarrassed that I didn't finish the above mentioned book...I'm so close!

Once again, I haven't quite been able to let go of that thing...

The biggest physical difference between me last December and this December is I'm smiling a little more.

The biggest psychological difference between me last December and this December is...I'm not sure. I'm sure there's a difference, but I don't know what.

I loved spending time with my beautiful daughter and my fellow crazy sisters. There's nothing like blood relation to understand me!

Why did I spend even two minutes looking up all that information when I knew full well I'm too good of a person to ever do anything with it?

I should have spent more time alone.

I regret buying a pair of pants a size too small thinking that I would fit into them eventually. Post-baby hips do NOT shrink.

I will never regret buying 8 pairs of flip flops even though with that money I could have bought a much more sensible pair of shoes for work.

I agonized about my weight way too much.

I didn't laugh enough.

My boss drove me crazy.

Was my husband's family crazier than ever last year? Or was it me?

The most relaxing place I went was to the local nail salon for a pedicure.

I feel so wistful when I write that down.

Why did I go to that one after-work party?

The best thing I did for someone else was be there for her and listen, even though I completely disagree with the choices she's making in her personal life.

The best thing I did for myself was take some time to feel those feelings. Nobody said there's a designated time frame in which I'm supposed to feel better.

The one thing I'd like to do again but do it better is revenge. I did something not nice (nobody was hurt, don't worry) and even though it had the desired effect, I think maybe I shouldn't have done it all and just let God work it out in His own time.
