Changed jobs three times...all in the same profession!
2. Did you keep your New Years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
I found out about my friend, Courtney's baby after the 1st even though she was born on the 20th of December...incidentally she's pregnant again :)

9. What was your biggest failure?
Not being able to make my SDC class successful.
