Babies, Ho!

2 best friends from high school, 2 babies in 3 months. 1 down, 1 to go. I vow to be the crazy aunt.

In one week, my babies (cats) broke my framed diploma and crapped on my favourite jeans. I guess there are similarities?

Rehashing the Hash of 2007

Early in 2007 I had dinner with a few friends and we decided to come up with Year Mottos instead of resolutions. Mine was...

2007 UNLEASHED!

And I'm happy to report that in a lot of ways, my motto held firm.

I went to New York, St. Lucia and Dominica.
I didn't let a stinkin' broken foot hold me back from anything.
I ended a 7.5 year relationship (on good terms)
I moved out on my ~*own*~ for the first time.
I started dating.

The Awesome:

Bowling for causes
Hiking to a boiling lake in Dominica
Taking pictures of live bands in Vancouver
Wandering around NYC with a BFF
Drunk parties in Apt 405
Suprising my fams in NS
Working V-Fest Toronto
Moving to Church & Maitland
Adopting Charlotte & Mikey

The Obstacles (aka Making Me Stronger):

Using crutches for a month, wearing an air cast for another month
Stolen SLR camera
The demise of long-term relationship
26-footer U-Haul accident

And let it be known that I resolve to continue unleashing myself in oh-eight, suckaz!

Oh yeah, I actually DID make a resolution for 2007 that I completed - I kept a jot note journal to record what I did each day. I hope to soon tally up things like "number of cabs taken to work" and "number of times eaten at Ginger 3". STAY TUNED FOR ALL THE HIGH OCTANE ACTION!
