Hmmm, activities seem to have thinned out at the end of the year - or maybe you were fed up with recording them by then? I hope 2007 is a great year for you, filled with interesting stuff.

Busy girl! It was a fun filled and fuull year!

LOL, You've been busy! I can't even remember what we did this past year, my memory is so bad.
Happy New Years!

Sounds like it was a fun and filled 2006! Here's to 2007!

Posted by Michelle at January 1, 2007 5:57 PM


That's quite an undertaking, to collect this all into one post. I don't think I have the patience to do the same!

I loved Augusten Bourroughs' books, hilarious and sad at the same time.

Here's to a great 2007!

Holy crap, but you've been busy! Here's hoping 2007 is as much fun.

Sounds like a good year (though you are better organized than I am if you're able to keep track of all that! :))

How WAS Stranger than Fiction anyway?
