1. What did you do in 2004 that you'd never done before?
Saved a kitten and adopted her, quit a band, toured in a van, obsessed over interior decorating (sad, I know) and felt like I was making a difference in some small, significant way....

I didn't make any last year, but this year I'm resolving to read more and to try to travel some more if possible.
