8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? This was the first time that I was assigned a solo project at work and I completed the project and completed it to the many praises from my superiors. I was very proud of myself.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed? As usual, the religious fanatics. I am appalled by the way that they judge others. I love this quote that is on a t-shirt Eagle bought me. It says, �Would God judge me for loving? Or Would God judge you for hating?� That sums it all up in my book. Love is love people.....and hate is hate.

14. Where did most of your money go? I wish I knew the answer to that question.

15.What made you really really really excited? Finding out that Eagle�s parents are paying for our trip to Florida in March as a Christmas present.

16.What song will forever remind you of 2006? �Lips of an Angel�

17. Compared to this time last year, are you:a) happier or sadder? happier b) thinner or fatter? fatter c) richer or poorer? richer because we no longer pay for Eagle�s habits, and I got a nice big raise.

18. What do you wish you�d done more of? camping, which we could not do because of my leg.

19. What do you wish you�d done less of? overeating and being lazy.

20. How will you be spending Christmas? Well Christmas Eve will be with Eagle�s parents. We�ve been invited as always to go to Eagle�s brother and sister-in-law�s house for Christmas Day. We�ve gone the past three years now and never enjoy ourselves. Eagle�s brother is giant ass and his wife is nice, but her family is always there and the are very strange. So we�ve been debating on just staying home together on Christmas Day. Most likely though we�ll end up succumbing to the pressure of the family and go.

21. How will you be spending New Year�s? Originally we were going to spend it at a friend�s party. However, Eagle decided that it would be just too much temptation for her, so she wisely decided she did not want to go. She did tell me that I could go with out her, however, I have no desire to spend New Year�s Even without her. So we will be staying home and having an alcohol free celebration that anybody else who is also alcohol free may attend.
