*make any new friends? think so
*make any new enemies? only in cyberspace
*develop any new hobbies? developed hobby of beading, but began in 2005...
*get older? as opposed to the alternative, i'm writing this as ectoplasm?

*move away? again, happy to report nope again!
*gain any new perspectives? well, i try to do that frequently

*get into a physical fight? not even close
*attend any sporting events? again, not even close
*get arrested? damn but i'm boring - never
*wreck your car? lucky me, nope - but i dream i have regularly, due to past wrecks.
*get a new car? *sigh* no
*make any big purchases? refer to "make much money" - it will explain no big purchases. largest sort was a new camera, having lost mine in Utah.

*get offered a job? not this year
*get a raise at a job? wouldn't that be nice? (refer to "not much money" again)

*develop any new health problems? asthma, pregnancy

*spend much money? only in that it was more than we earned
*download any music? nope
*try out any new looks? my hair is cooperating a bit, and i'm using a different shampoo, but mostly i'm boring. do plan to donate to locks of love before delivery, since it will all fall out afterwards and i'll just have to get it cut then, but it won't be as thick.

*people tried to have sex with you? if i count hormonally-fueled dreams, LOTS! however, unfortunately, my privacy block rarely lets me really enjoy them.

Misc. questions about 2006 A.D.

*did you make any big confessions in 06? told SIL one
*embarrassed about anything you did this year? i hef no idear
*what's the best thing to happen to you this year? in some ways this was my best year. best thing was surprise pregnancy - when i'd been trying to convince DH for SIX MONTHS we were supposed to have another person in our family, he stubbornly refused, and God took a hand!
*did you meet anyone that you could see yourself marrying? no
*did you vote this year? would have but was sick
*did you bring sexy back this year? well, the hormones relented and DH got better than pity sex finally - can we count that?
*what goals did you set for 2007? kids both set behavior goals. since i'm PG, can't set weight loss goals, so we set a goal to say family prayers and grace before meals.

sorry this was such a lousy poll for me - perhaps you'll have better replies! i look forward to seeing them!
