Hello, Michele sent me!
I like the Thursday 13. I'm not sure I could remember milestones from that far back, but if I do it, I'll be sure to let you know!
HOLY MOLY!!! Your hair was SOOOOO long!!!!
at the end of each year, you could have mentioned "Oh yeah, and had the love and friendship of my favorite cousin!" LOL Of course we know, that is something that could be said for every year of your life, right? (well after I was born anyway!)
That was pretty neat. I did it too.
That's a great way to sort through memories! I had a hard time sleeping last night too... drinking loads of caffeine right now. Is that a picture of you? Pretty hair! :)
That picture of you makes me think of that song, "Low Rider."
Low ri-der... ;)
My 13 is up!
Good idea for a TT!
Sounds like you've had a roller coaster 13 years. I'm sorry for your sadness. And thank God for friends! :-)
BTW, LOVE your TT banner! Very cheery.
Mine are up.
Great list! You sure have lived a lot of places!
Happy Thursday!
Mine are up.

Same comment as above- Long hair there!!
Love that 2002 is memorable for LOTR. When I found out there were making a movie of it I was SO excited!!!
That's a really unique and interesting idea for a TT. I think I'll have to try it some day, but I don't know if I'll be as good at remembering each year as you were :)
LOTR was awesome. First read them around '92.
My TT is up at greenr, which focuses on making energy, community, and personal life greener and better for both us and the planet we all share.
