So Sarah came out of hiding for a brief moment to share this meme. So good to hear from you Sarah, and as her 2007 story resonates loudly with me, I was inspired (or something like that) and now I'm adding my bit of personal mumbo jumbo to the internet. 1. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?
 I got pregnant and had a baby. That's the big one right there. There were other firsts last year, but they all are pretty insignificant compared to this. 2. Did you keep your new year’s read more »

Well, I'm out here in CA (had to fly out due to an aunt's sudden death) and finally got access to a computer with internet access. Only problem is it's a Mac, and I know as much about them as I do brain surgery. But hey, I got this far. But it's old and slow and takes forever to load crap.
