2007, we hardly knew ye...
Last night Chris and I brought in the new year with some friends of ours in Park Slope. There was stew, Aztec hot cocoa (Adam and I invented our own recipe), banana chocolate bread (I made it!), and we kicked ass at Taboo! Surrounded by good food and great company...if that's not the way to start off 2008 then I don't wanna hear about it!!
Anyway I did the meme...
1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Moved 2 times, went to Amsterdam, painted a poster, celebrated my first anniversary with Chris, joined a gym, dyed my hair black. Also: killed a leprechaun.
