Greatest Joy?
I'll go first.
New thing I tried: This year I tried online dating after a long absence from dating in general.
Major event: I lost my precious cat, Emily. She was 15 and although I have had cats since the age of 12 she was one of two I had/have all on my own and she was incredibly special. She greated me at the door, would come when I called her. She knew "get down" "you want a treat?" "up up" and when I asked her "you wanna eat?" she would always meow at me in response. She LOVED to get into trouble. I would find her in the bathtub after my showers, just splashing around. Needless to say she was very social. When she got sick it was heartbreaking. People ask me if I got another cat since she died. No I have not. The idea that I had to be responsible for choosing the day that she died will never sit right with me. I know Olivia (my other cat) is a bit lonely but for now I can't bring myself to do this all over again.
Favorite place to visit: Leander, TX. (Austin) I got to see my friend Candace's ranch and get pictures taken and share a special holistic event with her. She is awesome!
As far as biggest regret, well, I'd have to say not taking more time and giving the last relationship more of a chance to be something better. The outcome might have been just the same but I'll never know. UPDATE: I have a bigger regret. One which I always force to push out of my mind. When I had to put Emily to sleep I was so distraught and didn't have the strength to be in the room with her. Things happened and she bolted and I will forever ever ever regret not pulling myself together and comforting her when she needed it. I was just a ball of complete watery worthless shit that moment. I have since spoken with a well-respected animal psychic communicator on LI who told me Emily doesn't hate me or think about that at all and comes around for visits a lot and loves me. I sure hope so!
Greatest joy: watching a baby being born in front of my very eyes for the first time.
Tag! You're it!!!

New thing: Buffalo cutting. (Where you practice moving a buffalo along a fence with your horse instead of a regular old boring steer. LOL.)
Major Event: The death of our precious, favorite sweet soul, our little rat boy Lennon.
Favorite Visit: The Santa Ynez mountains in CA for a professional photo shoot of gorgeous horses and movie star type models and being so lucky with timing that the hills caught fire the day after we left.
Biggest regret: Not riding my horses enough, and yelling at my mom.
Greatest Joy: My beautiful, talented, smart as a whip, ambitious and funny daughter...watching her become a successful young lady and enjoying her company has been my greatest joy for several years.
Oh fun, great questions!
Name one new thing: I am so dang boring....I can't think of a single new thing I tried this year!
Major Event: Hmm. The first thing that came to mind was getting a call from the cops when my son was arrested because it was MAJORLY disappointing. I don't think I have ever been able to completely relax since that phone call.
What was your favorite place you visited in 2007? I didn't go anywhere
Biggest regret? Not being more aware of what my son was up to
Greatest Joy? Hanging out with my 5 year old nephew cause we have a very cool relationship
Candace, so exciting. I hope someday I can write something like you have about your daughter!
Barbara, OH COME ON NOW GIRLFRIEND, did you try a new food, new diet, new pill???? Hey wait, didn't you write about a new lip product on YOUR blog today. Hmmm :-)
I almost got arrested when I was 14 years old. I'll tell you about it off blog if you contact me. Boy does your story bring me back to that memory that I had tucked deep deep away!
Since my brother is "batting out of order" I suppose I will have some nice memories soon of playing with a niece or nephew. You'll have to give me some tips.
