About Last Year: A Kween of the Queens Challenge
The challenge is to take the first sentence from each month of 2007. I sometimes included more than the first sentence in order to get the complete thought in. I also included the title for each one (that had one), as that wos sometimes a key to what was going to be discussed. My comments are proceeded by arrows, well, they are all my comments, since they are all from my blog, but you know what I mean!

Auld Lang Syne
The song, “Auld Lang Syne,” is sung at the stroke of midnight in almost every English-speaking country in the world to bring in the New Year.
Ø Last year I resolved not to make any resolutions — I succeeded!

We survived the Road To Hana – AGAIN!
Well we did again. 52 miles. 56 one way bridges (including one that replaces a bridge that was damaged by the earthquake) and 617 bends, curves and twists. It is not for the timid.
Ø This is one of those tourist things that everyone who came to visit HAD to do — the Road to Hana. I survived it….4 times!

Featured Grownups and Kween’s assignments
Well like women who spend too much time in close proximity, the topics for Featured_Grownups and for the Kween_of_the_Queens have cycled together.
Ø This sounds worse than it is….. honestly!

Birthday Bash
So movie night was a great hit. All of Ducky’s friends had fun and many left with new colored hair – purple, purple tips and green streaks.
Ø In between all the chaos, we celebrated Hubby’s, Squirt’s and Duckman’s birthdays – what a month!

Tis the Season
Who know’s where thoughts come from? They just appear.
~ Lucas, Empire Records (1995)
We’ve been busy, busy, busy – as I’m sure most folks are this time of year. Even those that don’t celebrate any holidays are involved of end of year craziness in their businesses and lives.
Ø And so began the crazy hectic, albeit fun, month of December, the final month of 2007.
Please drop by the Kween’s site and read and join in the fun. It was great fun to look through my old blogs, although I do it periodically, I enjoyed reading just that first line and seeing if I remembered what the heck I was talking about! You know what I realized? I had a uber busy year last year, with confirmation, squirt starting back to school, graduation, retirement, the move, the new house, getting a job and then 3 concerts, countless visits to and from family, a ski trip and house guests — whew. I’m tired just thinking about it! All in all – a fantastic year. Here’s hoping that 2008 will be just as good if not better!
Question of the Day:
What was your favorite part / event of 2007?
