Breakfast at Tiffany's

What did you do in 2016 that you'd never done before? I got a CA driver’s license (at long last), literally slept with the fishes at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, dyed my hair brown, bought a car (I’ve ever only leased in the past), went to an Olympic weightlifting meet and watched Chris compete admirably, vacationed in Hawaii, possibly broke a bone (I never confirmed with a doctor, but it eventually healed fine), and took a fancy cooking class with my church for our Christmas party Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for the new year? I did not make any resolutions last year. This year, however, I plan to read the Bible daily or at least more consistently. The Bible app on my phone has helped me stay on track with the reading plan that I picked. Also, I really do want to get back in shape. I simply need to commit to the gym again.

1.   What did you do in 2014 that you'd never done before? I went to an opera, exchanged money at Gringotts Wizarding Bank, visited a butterfly conservatory, accidentally hit another car with mine, learned some German, introduced my parents to Chris’s parents, camped in Mammoth, won a costume contest, won an ugly sweater contest, stayed at an Airbnb rental, finished watching TNG, and had a lovely Star Trek viewing party to end the beloved series. 2.   Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year? My resolution last year was to continue going to the gym and also to control my portions when I eat, incorporating more vegetables in my diet.
