2005 Recap

I've never been much of a baseball fan, but I sure do love baseball movies. Or at least the ones that are on tonight. I came home tonight after hanging out with Jamie for the afternoon, and Field of Dreams was on. I love that movie so much - I really don't understand why I don't have it on DVD yet. And that movie has been followed up by A League of Their Own - another great baseball movie. What a great way to spend part of New Year's Eve! Add to that some Sims and some IMing with friends and it's a pretty great way to spend the last night of 2005. Although, I would have loved to have some company. :)

So as the old year prepares to end and the new one begin, I thought I'd do the typical recap of the last year. In 2005, I went full-time at my current job, made two great friends (hi Sarah and Jamie!), finally met an old friend in person (and loved hanging out with her and want her to come back and visit again soon), lost my dog Bailey in June, lost my dog Bo in July, adopted my dog Willow in August, adopted my cat Sable after she turned up in my basement last winter, got a new computer (mostly so that I could play the Sims the way it was meant to be played), watched lots of great TV, got addicted to caffeine and then quit it for a while, and didn't have any kind of sex whatsoever (feel free to cry for me). I also lost a grandmother whom I never knew and was surprised to be affected by the loss, got an unexpected call from my very uncommunicative brother (not the one I wrote about before, although I did hear from him on Christmas day) and of course rediscovered skating, and thanks to Sally's gift certificate, I got myself a pair of roller skates. Not the best of years, but certainly not the worst of years.

In 2006 I hope to not lose anyone, human, canine or feline. I also hope to be a little less in debt by the end of the year. And if I manage to get some action before the end of the year, that would be very nice. :) I also hope to actually take a trip with my sister to Virginia in June, instead of just planning it and not going, to take a trip to Tennessee in April to see my oldest brother get married, and have lots of fun with my friends. And hey, losing some weight and getting more in shape would be a welcome thing (but that's not a New Year's resolution, because those are doomed to fail in my life).

Good-bye 2005! I'm ready to see what 2006 has to bring.
