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.

Our wings are not tired
For 2006 I refuse to even bother thinking of the bad, it isn't worth the thoughts.
The good has been wonderful with good time and good friends. The best of which is my sweetie who is with me now on vacation in the land of the mouse. I love you Kristin. More years with you and they will all be good.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
2006 was actually a pretty good year for me. I got some traveling in (England, China, Italy), saw my brother get married, got inspired to lose some weight (and have done so), am getting back into shape, and started hunting down a new job. My family seems pretty healthy and no one is in financial straits. I got to visit with quite a number of Buffistas and other fannish friends over the year, found a very shiny new fandom, and did some fun writing.
On the down side: my dog died. Which was sad but not unexpected, and though I will miss him (lots and lots), it was time. I also stopped climbing regularly, for a number of reasons, some of them out of my control.
For 2007, I'd like the new job to work out, and to get myself working on some original fiction again. And get back into climbing. I don't think that's too much to ask...

Thrive to spite them
My Secret Santee will have to wait until after Xmas for a package from me.

Thrive to spite them
2006 was a good year. Actually I say that every year of this century gets better -- I hit rock bottom in 2000 and it's been all up hill from there and this year continues that trend.
Earlier this year I was diagnosised with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom (PCOS) and this month I got medication for this. It's supposed to help with that and also help me lose weight. I'm optimistic about getting healthier.
This year I also took up belly dancing and then wandered away from it, I plan to wander back at the beginning of the year.
One annoying thing happened -- my insurance payment went up. But because of that I successfully negogiated a raise and some minimal benefits.
And I made new friends and reconnected with others! So it was a good year.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
There's a tree! A wee little tree on top of our TV armoire! It's so cute and we love it!
Thank you Christmas Elves!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm probably not going to be able to get my Secret Santa present out until after New Years. But it will be there! Sorry about the lateness.

I'm getting the pig!
I'm hopeful that my Sekrit Santee's gift box got out of the state prior to the almost complete shut-down of Denver today due to a blizzard. I dropped it off at the post office mid-day yesterday and the snow didn't start until this morning, so... fingers crossed.
I always want snow for Christmas day. It's my favorite part of Christmas. It's like Mother Nature's version of ambiance.
One or two inches of snow is ambiance. Eighteen inches is WAY over the top.

Try 36 inches which we had two years running a couple of years ago on the North Shore of MA. So far, Winter 2006 has been mild here; I'm hoping the the 2007 part will do likewise. If we have a winter storm comparable to the rain we got in May/June this year, we're gonna be up to our eyeballs again.
