Yes, I know. I have pictures to upload and doodle on and share. I have a week’s worth of vacation to somehow cram into one or two entertaining posts.
But you know what? It’s fucking COLD here. And when it’s COLD, I don’t feel like doing anything. (No, really, it’s the cold. Yesterday I cleaned my laundry room! Today? I… uh… well I heated dinner. It’s cold!)
So. I’m recapping 2007 Meme style instead.
It is so not too late for New Year’s Mumbo Jumbo. And if it is, it’s fashionably so.
Anyway - I ripped this off from one of my oldest and bestest friends (and college roommate, amongst other things.)
2007 in Review (abbreviated slightly because oh mah hell, seriously?!?!)
JANUARY
1. Did you have a new year’s resolution this year?
I’m sure I did. It was probably to quit something or start something else. No, wait. I remember I went the
“resolve not to resolve” route last year. I’m original like that.
FEBRUARY
1. Who was your valentine?
I’m assuming my husband. If by “valentine” you mean “person designated to ignore said holiday”.
2. What did your valentine get you?
Salt in the wounds motherfucker. Salt, in the wounds.
MARCH
1. Are you Irish?
Actually, yes. In fact, there is a castle and a town somewhere in Ireland that bears my Nana’s maiden name.
2. What did you do for St. Patty’s Day?
Blah blah blah - who the fuck cares. THIS is the month I was SWEAT ON!!
APRIL
1.2.3. blah blah blah - fools, jokes, etc
I made a name for myself as a woman of class in April. The name part is true, at least.
MAY
1. What’s your favorite kind of flower?
Yellow roses. I don’t know why. But I remember my Nana having them by my bed when I visited her in Florida.
2. Do you like the spring?
Yes. What does this have to do with my 2007 year in review you ADD fucker?
JUNE
1. Did you go on any vacations last June?
If by vacation you mean “did you spend the entire month of June landscaping and remodeling a house to sell”, then… yes.
JULY
1. What did you do on the 4th of july?
Actually, the husband and I went to Florida. And bought a house. And sold two others. All over the Holiday weekend.
AUGUST
1. Did you do anything special to end off your summer?
Ummm…. let me think. Oh, yeah. We moved, a little. Have I mentioned that?
2. Did you go swimming a lot in the summer?
Not once, until after we moved on August 10th.
4. Did you go to the beach a lot?
Twice. Which is pretty good, considering it was a real live actual BEACH.
SEPTEMBER
All the questions for this month are retarded. And nothing really happened this month anyway. I still thought I had my mind way back when.
OCTOBER
1. What did you dress up like this year?
Marilyn Monroe. For this little Halloween party I went to. It was alright.
NOVEMBER
1. Whose house did you go to for Thanksgiving?
My first big holiday “away from home”, and we went to “De & Lee’s”.
2. What are you thankful for?
My family. And my friends. I don’t know if I could choose one over the other this year. It’s like one and the same.
DECEMBER
OK, seriously, it’s been like 2 days since December. You haven’t forgotten already - right?
This is the month I lost my fucking mind! Yay!
1. How would you rate your year on a scale of 1-10?
Sometimes you’re the windshield… sometimes you’ve got your ass in your brains.
2. What did you do in 2007 that you’d never done before?
Sold a house. Moved. Lived farther than 30 miles from my mom.
3. Did anyone close to you die?
Someone close to someone close to me. And I don’t forget. Which isn’t at all the same, I know.
4. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
Peace.
5. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
March 10th, 2007. He. Sweat. On. Me. Seriously.
6. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Going to the doctor.
7. What was your biggest failure?
I did not fail. I tried to blow up my marriage. I tried to let the Darkness swallow me. But the people around me refused to let me fail.
8. What was the best thing you bought?
Besides the house (of course), my red stilettos that I bought in Vegas. *swoon*
9. Whose behavior merited celebration?
My husband’s.
10. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
My husband’s.
11. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Going home. And coming back home.
12. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? mmmm…. more content
ii. thinner or fatter? at this moment, more fat
iii. richer or poorer? I’m not sure, actually.
13. What did you want and get?
Freedom.
14. What did you do on your birthday?
According to the archives, I played Cadoo. Which is pretty good - more than I usually do for my birthday.
15. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2007?
A Desperate Struggle For Age Appropriate - Without Resorting To MomButt
16. What kept you sane?
The Internet, actually.
17. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2007:
Good enough, is perfect.

good post… and I wish you “enough” in the new year!!!
Happy 2008!
[Reply]
That’s a good one. I’m going to steal it. I struggle for “age appropriate” and still look like I know how to have some fun….especially since I have a 16 yr. old daughter who is always telling me how I look…good or bad~ :doh:

Happy New Year, Britt! I hope it’s a good one for you.
[Reply]
Good enough is definitely perfect. Be happy in 2008. BTW, I am jealous of those red stilettos. Hot !
[Reply]
Very entertaining. You…are totally awesome!
[Reply]
“Salt, in the wounds.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh, but you just HAD to get in a dig at me about Halloween, didn’t you? Fucker. Maybe you deserve that salt.
[Reply]
Ummm………let’s just clarify that by oldest, I am not THE oldest by age!
And seriously was your vagina post REALLY that long ago!??
The one things that needs to change in 2008….seeing my bestie! We didn’t see each other AT ALL last year! Let’s change that huh??
[Reply]
Glad you learned that good enough is perfect, it is a hard lesson to learn. How could we all forget that HE sweat on you????
Glad you liked the present!
[Reply]
Amen! I had a bad year, too. Hopefully this year will be better for the both of us.
(Odd, we were commenting on each other’s posts at the same time.)
[Reply]
I’m very glad you are HOME. Thanks a bunch for bringing the friggin cold with you. Much appreciated. Wanna do something this weekend?

Mr. Fab: well thanks, that was… um… sweet.
avitable: I torment because I love.
Kristin: yes, we do definitely need to figure out a way to see each other. Weren’t you coming down here or something?

[Reply]
I read this post, and I find everything that you did last year to be amazing. You accomplished all of this while raising two (or three if you count the hubby) children and managed to remain sane. You are awesome, and you can accomplish anything that you put your mind to.
Happy New Year Miss Britt, you are one of the strongest women that I have the pleasure of knowing. I hope that it is everything that you hope for, and more. You deserve it.
[Reply]
Your 2007 was a seriously kick ass year! The sweat alone is enough to make the rest of the year still shine.
[Reply]
Your year was far more entertaining than mine.
[Reply]
OK, all I can say is I clicked on the link to your Prince post and laughed my flat ass off! Oh, dear, Lord, you are funny! I’ve never been much of a Prince fan, but after reading that post, I am now!
Welcome back, hon!
[Reply]
So there was nowhere you could fit the awesome guacamole making into? Hmmm…
Cuz that was one of the greatest things of the year, right? I mean… It was fucking awesome!!!
Oh, and HNY!
[Reply]
OK well, dinner sure made an impression huh? OK so I know it would have been more meaningful for you if MrsRW had been there and all but, what am I, exactly - chopped liver I don’t even make the recap??
[Reply]
[Reply]
Angel: well, I think the “managed to remain sane” part is up for debate. LOL
Anonymous: why don’t you leave your name Allstate worker!!!
AmyD: oh pSHAW! Wasn’t this the year of the hamster!?
Coal Miner’s Granddaughter: your ass is flat?! Show off.
DutchBitch: well, I couldn’t fit it ALL in there!
RW: is my undying affection for you and your wife not enough for you? JEEZ!
Mrs RW:
[Reply]
Um….. no. No, it isn’t.
[Reply]
Cranky fuck.
[Reply]
Um, call me nosey, but freedom from what? It sounds like you really did a lot in 2007. I’m very impressed with it - sweat and all!
[Reply]
Yeah 2007 was an unusually busy year. :-)
And the “freedom” was, mainly, from the “what if’s”.
[Reply]
Britt,
You seem to be pretty stupid, immature, and have deep seated mental issues. I hope you get the help in “08″ and become a “classy lady”, and not an internet groupie.
[Reply]
That was a really mean thing to say, Rebecca. Didn’t your mommy ever tell you not to say anything if you didn’t say something nice? Stop Trolling.
[Reply]
troll: yada yada yada
Shelli: is’ok. She found me from another blog and is mad that I don’t hate gays.
