1. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before?: Threw up on Jeff, threw up in a public place in such a heinous way that it made a girl scream, had a contraction, went into labor again... and again... and again, stayed in bed for 2 months, had a friggin baby. And he is dee-lightful.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?: No, I didn't make New Years' resolutions, because I had the quick wits about me to know that I would not keep them. I never make specific resolutions, just general internal renewals of the projection of the person I want to be.

4. Did anyone close to you die?: Not anyone close to me.
5. What countries did you visit?: This one.

29. What did you want and not get?: A non-NICU baby.

That was so fun to read! I'm gonna have to steal it for my blog :-)
You better believe I read this! I enjoyed reading it and I think we need to talk on the phone sometime soon 'cause I miss you!
You over thanked me. It took me precisely 2 minutes and 47 seconds to read this not five. (I timed it.) It would have been simply two minutes if your lady gaga answer didn't make me laugh so hard that I cried.
Ok that's hilarious that I accidentally stole your song lyrics for mine. I did it subconsciously I swear!
It took me longer than five minutes to read this. You're welcome. I'm going to ignore the fact that I'm a slow reader and blame it on my eye doctor, his name is Bart, he dilated my eyes something fierce. Also, I'm about to add you to my blog roll. Woot!
I do love it!
