That was then.

12 MONTHS OF QUESTIONS


JANUARY

1. Did you have a new year's resolution this year?

Adam and I have resolved to quit smoking. We shared our last cig last night (after a heated debate.. more on that later, maybe..). He said he was going to try to go all day today without smoking. We'll see how that goes. He's more of a smoker at work, and I'm more of a smoker at home.. but I'm determined to make us smoke free cause it's not healthy and I can't breathe as well anymore and all his clothes stink!

2. Who kissed you at midnight?

At midnight I was fast asleep.

3. Does it snow where you live?

It doesn't normally. On Christmas this past year, it was 80 degrees and humid. In 2003, it snowed on Christmas Eve in the middle of the night. I remember running outside in just my pjs and slippers to take pictures and make snowmen on random cars in the parking lot of my Clear Lake apartment.

4. Do you like hot chocolate?

Love it! I prefer it over coffee, and it's the only thing I order from Starbucks. I received $60 in Starbucks giftcards this year for Christmas and I'm down to $20.. all spent on "grande hot chocolate with whipped cream, please."

5. Have you ever been to Times Square to watch the ball drop?

Nope, never even been to NYC, but it is a goal of mine. Maybe not to see the ball drop cause it's craziness in a bottle during the holidays in NYC, but just to visit and see the big city would be great.


FEBRUARY

1. Who was your Valentine?

I didn't technically have a valentine. I wasn't "dating" anyone at the time, but Secret Lover Dood came over that night. I wish I hadn't let him.

2. When you were little, did you buy valentines for your class?

Yes, and on the valentines that went to the boys I liked, I'd draw a little heart by their name... Wonder if they ever noticed...

3. Do you care if the groundhog sees its shadow or not?

Not particularly.


MARCH

1. Are you Irish?

Are they from Mexico?

2. Do you wear green on St. Patty's Day?

Sometimes.

3. What did you do for St. Patty's Day?

Went to Bennigan's and discovered what 151 will do to your intestines.

4. Are you happy when winter is pretty much over?

Not really. Winter is only like 2 weeks long and it only goes below 40 degrees once or twice, so the winter leaves much to be desired.


APRIL

1. Do you like the rain?

Nope. I'm not a big fan of rain. My first accident ever was in the rain. My car tires are getting old so my car slips and slides on the road whenever it rains. And in October, it rained for four days straight and my car flooded.

2. Did you play an April fool's joke on anyone this year?

Not personally, no. But I aided in an April's fool joke that I wish I hadn't b/c it ultimately involved the police, lawyers, and a co-worker in tears.

3. Do you get tons of candy on Easter?

I was relaxing in the country on Easter with my cousin, Rachel's inlaws. I don't remember there being any candy, but there were tons of fajitas and mexifood.


MAY

1. What's your favorite kind of flower?

Daisies or Tulips.

2. Do you like the spring?

Yes... anything other than the summer's smoldering heat is a good thing.

3. Finish the phrase "April showers":

on my flowers.

4. What is the first color you think of when you think of Spring?

Yellow.

1998.

Birthdays are nothing special?? Father's Day is nothing special?? How rude.

Every year, my parents and I go to a friend of the family's house for pool volleyball, air hockey, and food. :)

I went on a roadtrip to San Di-frickin'-ego with good friends Jeni and Emma.

3. Do you blast the A/C all day?

Absolutely! It's 98 degrees in the shade in Houston during the summer. Consequently, my energy bill AND my gas bill double during this time of year.


AUGUST

1. Did you do anything special at the end of your summer?

I met Adam (and secretly planned to stalk him until he was mine. I won!), and I started training in the Travel Department.

2. What was your favorite summer memory?

My favorite summer memory was going to the Hot Sauce Festival with Emma and Eli and Adam and getting to know Adam later that night while all of us ate at Red Lobster. Eli and Emma were telling me funny stories about him from his high school years.

3. Did you have a sunburn?

I don't think I went outside at all this summer. Hmmm.

4. Do you go to the beach a lot?

I go to Galveston a lot, but not neccessarily to go to the beach. We usually hit "The Strand", which is just downtown Galveston, but it's not near the beach. It's just a long street (or "strand" if you will...) with tons of shops and restaurants and local vendors.


SEPTEMBER

1. Did you attend school/college in '06?

Tanks gawd, no.

3. Do you like fall better than summer?

I like anything better than summer.


OCTOBER

1. What was your favorite Halloween costume?

When I was about two, and my dressed me up as a lion. I had the face makeup, the fuzzy suit, tail, and all.. there's an old photo of me somewhere I'll have to dig it up.. I looked oh so cute and oh so hi-larious..

2. Did you trick or treat or go to a party??

I helped set up my friend Anna's Halloween house party. I was there until the guests arrived and then Adam got sick and we had to leave. I didn't know hardly any of them anyways, they were all her work friends.

3.Did you dress up? If so, as what?

I didn't dress up as anything in particular, but I wore this black beaded tank with a silver head piece I bought at Ren Fest.

My uncle's new house on the other side of town.

Adam, my best good friends Rachel and Emma and Gwenie, and all the new friends I've met over the year.
