The New Years' Me-Me
Happy New Year Fam!I had the most wonderful Christmas. Not because I got a rack of gifts or anything like that. I really had the chance to bond with my family and catch up with many of my friends. The "gifts" I received this year are far better than any material gift that I could ever receive.
I lifted this from 1969 - Enjoy!
1. What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before? Watch the Chairman graduate; becoming a working mother of two; become an Auntie for the first time; travel to Kansas and Texas.
2. Did you keep your New Years' resolutions? I did pretty well. I focused on getting more training for my makeup gig. I took 3 classes and started work on my portfolio.
3. Did anyone you know give birth? So many people - there must be something in the water! My sister Ronique, my friends Imani, Maggie, Yinka, Vera, Kenya, DJ, Ugo, Ray-Ray, Nse, Candice
6. What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006? There's simply just too much to name. I want it all! I'm greedy.
7. What dates from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory? July 21st when the Chairman became an ordained minister. It was a very moving ceremony.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Getting my current job. It's actually in the field I went to school for so that's good.
9. What was your biggest failure? Not being as close to my friends as I used to be. I will do better this year - I'm still learning how to balance life with 2 kids - it's tricky
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? Does the flu count?
11. What was the best thing you bought? Education for my five-year old. Private school education is no joke!
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? Mine because I have rolled with a lot of punches in 2006. Adapting to change is hard. I feel myself becoming mature and less spoiled. Don't trip, He ain't through with me yet...
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? There was so much nonsense that went on this year. People are nuts! I refuse to let the stupidity of others derail me! LOL
14. Where did most of your money go? Living expenses and child's education. I cut back on my random shopping trips significantly - gold star for me!
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about? The car the Chairman bought me for my birthday; officially starting my make-up hustle (I did a wedding last September - YEAH!); the birth of my nephew; Notyourmomma's wedding; so many other things - I just been giddy all year - it don't take much to make me happy!
16. What song/album will always remind you of 2006? Mary J. Blige - The Breakthrough
17. What do you wish you'd done more of? Played soccer. I haven't played since 2004
18. What do you wish you'd done less of? Procrastinating
20. How many one night stands in this last year? None... 'cause I''s married
21. What was your favorite TV program? Grey's Anatomy
22. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? No. Hateration does not look good on me. Grudges cause cancer.
23. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? A trip to the Caribbean
24. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006. Gosh there are so many.... I guess the main thing is that you don't need a lot of money in order to have a full life.
25. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year? Thankful by Mary Mary pretty much sums it up (track #1 from their very first album)
