RECOLLECTIVE

It's a new year, everyone! I can't believe soon this blog will be a year old. I am so glad I started it, even if only for myself. It's been a great venting tool. Thanks for reading, thanks for commenting, thanks for occasionally providing inspiration and ideas for posts.

I can't usher in a new year without recapping the old one. Therefore, I present my Best and Worst of 2006 List! I have been editing this list for almost 2 weeks now, so enjoy reading what--in my opinion--were the highlights and downfalls of the year.
