Not working more then 15+ hours. I have never worked so little since I was sixteen.

2. Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I forgot whatever resolution it might have been. I guess it wasn't a very good one :(

Not this year. Can you believe it?!

4. Did anyone close to you die?
My husband's family dog. He was 13 years old.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
The rude and ungrateful people that seem to want to bring me down. Bad days happen to everyone, I know, I've had my share. Yet the people who feel they should share their bad day because they think it's not far your having a good one. Need to fly a kite in a thunder storm and leave me alone :P
