In 2007 ...

1. Will you be looking for a new job? No way - I just got a new job and I love it. Hi, bosses! Not lying either!

2. Will you be looking for a new relationship? Nope.

3. New house? Doubtful. Glinny and I like where we live - and our neighbors! - and we're not moving unless we buy a condo. And I don't think that'll be happening next year.

4. What will you do different in '07? Hmmm. Well, I'm hoping to remain consistent with my workouts so as not to have another repeat of me gaining back a bunch of weight and being a little miserable mentally and physically as a result of not getting any exercise. I plan to pout less, stop and think more, and work on my baking skills.

5. New Years resolution? None really. I think I'm going to borrow a page from Robyn and say get better about emailing people back.

6. What will you not be doing in '07? Ummmm. No idea.

7. Any trips planned? If I don't say NYC my old roommate will kill me.

8. Wedding plans? There are, so far, three that I'll be attending. Two of the couples have yet to set dates and I'm in at least one of them, possibly two.

9. Major thing on your calendar? Hmmm. There are a couple of things that are happening and I know the general vicinity during which they'll happen but that's about it. I'm looking forward to mid-February. :)

10. What can’t you wait for? Nothing in particular, but the weddings are going to be a lot of fun. Each will be really different, which is awesome.

11. What would you like to see happen different? Whoa nelly. Where to start ...

12. What about yourself will you be changing? Hopefully I'll have gotten back to working out before work. Mostly I'm just concerned on making my life a lot more peaceful and simple.

13. What happened in 06 that you didn’t think would ever happen? Well there was that whole divorce thing that sucked majorly.

14. Will you be nicer to the people you care about? God yes. Especially to a couple of people in particular who have bore the brunt of my problems this past year. To them I promise lots of hugs and biting of the tongue.

15. Will you dress differently this year than you did in 06? Style-wise, no. But I'd like to get better about polishing things up - getting pants hemmed, dry cleaning my things more frequently and actually pick them up.

16. Will you start or quit drinking? I imagine I'll do what I always do which is to stop for several weeks and give my liver a break. I joke and exaggerate here about my drinking, but I don't drink nearly as much as you might think. Maybe once a week, twice at that.

17. Will you better your relationship with your family? I hope so.

18. Will you do charity work? Yes. One of my really big goals for the year is to get more involved in the community. I signed up with a local volunteer organization that does everything from tutor kids to feeding the homeless to clean-up projects.

19. Will you go to bars? Is the Pope Catholic? Indeed.

20. Will you be nice to people you don’t know? Yes, actually. I've been working on this already because - big shocker - sometimes I'm a total asshole.

21. Do you expect 07 to be a good year for you? I really, really do. But I've learned enough now to know that anything can happen and it's all day-by-day. I control the outcome with the choices I make; nothing is entirely accidental.

22. How much did you change from this time last year till now? There isn't a way to measure how much I've changed.

23. Do you plan on having a child? Nope.

24. Will you still be friends with the same people you are friends with now? I hope so.

25. Major lifestyle changes? Some, perhaps.

26. Will you be moving? Didn't this question already get asked?

27. What will you make sure doesn’t happen in 07 that happened in 06? I'm putting a moratorium on shit happening. I'd like nothing to happen in '07. That would rule.

28. What are your New Years Eve plans? Going to my best friend's in the 'burbs, watching the Bears game (perhaps going to it!) and telling '06 to kiss my behind.

29. Will you have someone to kiss at midnight? If I make out with Ali, her fiance will be pleased and I like making Andy happy.

30. One wish for 07? Quiet.
