• Hello 2006!  I like how this year looks.  2006.  I feel like 2005 was just waiting to be 2006 all year... I don't know why...  Maybe, being born in a year ending with 6, I am naturally predispositioned to enjoy years ending in 6 a lot more... we shall see...

  
  

  I'm going skiing with Danielle and Katie tomorrow night!!  I'm uber excited, because we (family, visiting from Nebraska) tried to go skiing last week and by the time we got up into the mountains it started snowing so hard that we just decided to turn around.  It was a bummer, but now.... YAY!
