A year in the life of Pixies

[FussyPucker]

1 year ago today..........I said...."OK if I HAVE to"

Well actually I said "I do"! Can you believe Lou n I have been married a for a whole year?!?!?

So this got me thinking what else has happened to everyone in the last year?

Here's a few from me:
Got married
Having a baby
Moved house
Passed my driving test!

[Lilith]

driving test : verklempt: Good job Big Daddy! I'm proud of you.

Me:
finished college
got a job
got a new job
had hysterectomy to remove a basketball sized tumor

[LixyChick]

Happy Anniversary (((((FussyPuckers))))) Congrats on the driving test too...weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Oh geezzzz...you've guys have been busy!

Let's see...

Me:
Ummmmm.....ummmmm.....ummmmm

Oh yeah...

Bought and installed (3 x's) an above ground swimming pool


JHCOAB! That's all? That's my year so far? I SUCK!!!!!

I have to say that I haven't been lazy. Just really busy with family situations that have prevented me from doing anything for myself. Mr. Lixy was sick and hospitalized...and so was big sis.

I'll work on doing more/better in the coming months!

[imaginewithme]

Congratulations on your anniversary!!!

In the last year;
Had a baby girl
quit my job
started school
am on my last week of school & will soon be self employed

Been a very busy year for me.....can only hope the next will be just as good

[scotzoidman]

Let's see, in the past 12 months I have...

played a (very) few gigs with a band of other old geezers
survived to see my 50th b-day
watched our baby boy start high school
finally found some gainful self-employment
faced down a judge in my disability appeal
finally got my SSD benefits (w/back pay!)

other than that, not much has happened

making it to 50 may have seemed like the easy part, just keep breathing...but family history combined with certain lifestyle choices say I've beaten some long odds...

[osuche]

Wow you all have been busy! Last year (24-12 months ago) was my busy period....but this year:

Changed jobs (1/06)
Started my MBA at Berkeley (9/05)
Found two new soulmate friends
Bought a bicycle (LOL)
Volunteered for a socially responsible company


<sigh> Slim pickins. But after the year I had last year, I wanted a quiet year. :)

The Chinese saying, "May you live in interesting times" is actually a curse dressed up as a blessing...maybe no news is good news...

"Big, big happenings up at the Falls this year" :D


When this thread first came up, I felt the same need others mentioned, to list more than one personal event that was outstanding from my normal life routine. (very hard to follow Fussy's year of life changing events, and at this point in my life, I SHOULDN'T have one like that) Yep, without a doubt, PAGAN was the highlight of my year. :thumbs:
