I got a Roomba! And a promise of a Wii when they're buyable! Christmas (while late) was good to me. Also, I have not yet beaten any relatives, which is a good.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2006: You're ON THE LIST!!!
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2006? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Not Plei, but yes.
So does Perkins. still, after several months.
Also, those pictures still make me very happy.

I'm planning on buying a Wii when I can find one.

I selected the Sweet Baby Red to go with the Chinese dinner. Light and tasty. Did you see my note above? Your note on the box flap delighted me.
Sounds like a fine Christmas for you, my dear. Yay!

Ashton has dragged his into his bedroom. I guess he thinks Bay might try to steal it from him.

I did. I was a couple pages behind, so I couldn't respond. Glad you liked the note. I really did have a card. And it's still in my classroom.
The SBR is my friend T's favourite. (The other is the favourite of the lady at the winery)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I've spent the last hour reading this thread. I love hearing summaries of everyone's year, what was good, what was challenging. I love hearing the squees over purely Buffista prezzies being opened. I love everyone getting nostaligic over this place. This ethereal place of wires that is more important to me than some "real life" places I go.
I lurked here since TT #4 in early 2001. I finally started posting in #8 over the summer of 2001. I've been an on again, off again poster depending on Life and work stuff, but I've always always lurked, even when not posting.
Since I started on here, my life has changed a lot, some good, some not so good, but on the balance, it's been good.
In 2006, the bad has been mostly the decline of my dad's health. His 2 strokes in 2004 were bad and he will never recover from them. He finally went to a nursing home in Septemeber after my mom just about killed herself taking care of him at home for over a year.
The other bad? Work has been killing me this year. I've been putting in some serious hours and trying to balance work/school/life has been next to impossible.
Also, broke up with the SO. Although, in retrospect, I think this belongs in the good pile.
The good? My mom is doing much better now that Daddy's in the nursing home. She's been able to get some good sleep. She also took in my brother's dog and that's done her a world of good, too.
I had my annual tests done last month, and can now officially say that I am 4 years cancer free! Woot!
After 4 years, I finally finished all my coursework for my 2 year program. What? I worked full time and went to school part time, so it took longer to get through. But, I am through. And, I planned well and besides my car payment, I am debt free. Which is good, because I quit the above job in order to start student teaching in a couple of weeks. I will be unemployed for a few months and am a bit nervous about that, but my finances are lined up and good to go. My company also wants me to work part time as I can, so extra money, yay!
I am so excited to start my new career I can barely stand it. It's taken a lot of hard work and it doesn't even seem real. I suspect it won't really hit until I actually start.
