the best and worst of 2007


i am taking a cue from my good friend and superb blogger gay slade, and reviewing the year! soo...what did 2007 hold?

Best Book...
well, anyone who knows me realizes that every book I read is the best..and every album, every song..so i will try and narrow it down.

I think my favorite book this year was "eat, pray, love" by elizabeth gilbert. I think the notion of taking a year to do those very things..is a great one. I don't know if i will ever be able to take a year off for a journey like that, but it sure would be amazing..and just following on her journey was incredible. A close runner up would be Harry Potter, of course..mainly because I waited so LONG to read it!

Best Album...has to be James Taylor, "one man band". I have always loved him, and this album is his best,i think. so great! I also really love the soundtrack from "across the universe" and the "sweeney todd" soundtrack..but maybe that is just because of johnny depp.


best baby....
easy. the beautiful amelia..my newest niece.she is sideways because i don't know how to turn the picture.

she is being held by my equally cute sister, her mother rachel.
( who has 4 kids...so she is also slightly cuckoo. )



Worst moment...oh man. I think it would have to be the day that the sure shot ( the machine that holds the frappucino mix at Sbux) came undone and the entire content of said machine exploded onto me...that was a bad one. and probably the day I realized I probably was not long for the world of the bux.

sooo..that is a good start to my list.. more later when I figure out how to put pictures in the correct way.

Yippee! A new blog to read by someone I care about! There are plenty out there to read written by folks I don't know, so yeah for a new one to add to my list. Yeah also for Google Reader to track them.

It's fun to see Rachel - gorgeous lady. Be sure to include lots of pictures in your blog. So much fun!

Jalyn, my friend, my fellow blogger! My mom emailed me about your blog, and WHOOPEE! Love it. Love you. Love Johnny Depp. Love Vera Bradley bags (mine is a red paisley one). What are you playing in "Little Shop"? I am considering auditioning for "Annie Get Your Gun." Any good parts (besides Annie, that is) in that one? Well, I love that you're blogging! More to come...hooray!
