Still reverbing along but it's time for the annual roundup first created by the ever awesome Linda.
1. What did you do in 2012 that you’d never done before? Well. I've worked in pubic service before and I've moved before so does it count that I did them again? I can't even say parallel parking because I'd technically done it twice before February. Hmm.
2. Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Oh, of course not. I will poach an egg in 2013!
3. Did anyone close to you have a child? J had J in May and I finally got to squish him over Christmas.
4. Did anyone close to you die? I don't think so.
5. Where did you travel? Jersey Shore (again! [hopefully always]), Houston, NJ multiple times, moved to Bmore, Winchester, Gettysburg, Philadelphia...I think that's everything.
6. What would you like to have in 2013 that you lacked in 2012? New glasses
7. What dates from 2012 will remain etched upon your memory? I don't remember the day but getting the call in early Jan about the job. The week around Feb 27th. August 12th.

9. What was your biggest failure? Not finding someway to reconcile being active with the new commute/job.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? Thank goodness, nothing major.
11. What was the best thing you bought? If it helps my heating bill, the fusing to put along some of the door cracks.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration? My head was at times beyond its usual level of spinning drama so I don't know if I'm more grateful to my existing family/friends who took it in stride or the new people in my life who enjoy me both in spite of and because of my brain.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? Red SUV jerkwad at the intersection.
