Bananas Year in Review
January 2, 2008 – 4:30 amBeing a fan of self-reflection and all, I thought it only appropriate that I spend some time documenting the highs and lows of 2007… you know, for posterity.
I did THIS for the first time ever…
Started, and refused to ever stop, blogging.
Became a stay-at-home mom
Washed my kitchen floor. (it was the first and LAST time! ewww!
I stopped doing this…
I fell in love with…
Roomba
I had brushes with adventure and death-defying excitement when…
I narrowly escaped a falling box of condoms
And ran my car into our other car.
And jumped into an ice-cold lake to save CJ.
I’m pretty sure I made some waves when…
I took The Beast on tour at the Seattle private school circuitI crowned myself Wonder Woman and Miss America.
I failed to…
Get elected president
Get all strong and toned
But it’s ok because I pulled off THESE major milestones…
Successfully potty-training CJCelebrating our 10 year anniversary
Starting up Seattle Mom Blogs with Kathryn and Eve.
Re-siding our house (well, it’s mostly done)
Yep, all in all I’m calling it a GREAT YEAR!
Thanks for being part of it!

You know, you could still totally throw your hat in the ring for the Presidency thing in ‘08.
I think I’d rather vote for you than all the other options out there.
