Here's a Meme from Madam Smallworld  to get the countdown to the New Year rolling:

1) Look back to your archives for 2007.
2) Collect the first sentence you wrote every month for the whole year. (This doesn't have to be the literal first day of the month--just the first post.)
3) Entertain us on your blog, link back here, and post a comment here with the link to your blog. (And if you're blogless, just remember the first sentence you spoke every month for the whole year and post it here.)

Note:  After conducting this exercise for myself, I'm realizing that the first blog I write of every month is particularly boring!  Let's do a meme wherein we pick the best blog of each month, shall we?

January - It is so hard for me to believe that our school year is more than half over. 

February - I've been drafting and drafting various blog postings, but just haven't been happy enough to press "add new entry." (Waffle recipe posted!)

March - If everyone lived like me, we would need 7.7 additional planets the size of earth to sustain us all. 

April - I'm an input junkie.  (Re: Unplugging Me - a failed experiment)

May - After a 10 day delay, the King and I were finally able to celebrate our 14th anniversary. 

June - I cannot believe a whole, mostly glorious, 12-month long year has passed since Baby was born. 

July - I signed up some time ago to join Tim in a new initiative called Xercise365.  (Still working this, although imperfectly:  Queenteamx365)

August - I'm so excited. (Re: boat purchase)

September - There is a special conference on the Sabbath taking place this coming weekend in Knoxville, at the Convention Center. 

October - Today, I did something I haven't done in 14.5 years. (Re: Bryce Canyon, Utah)

November - Someone needs to invent a "Clapper" that can be attached to coffee mugs, so I can find mine whenever I'm darting through the house trying to get things done in between trying to get other things done. 

December - Which way do YOU spell it?  And why would I even wonder, not being the least bit Jewish?  (Re: Hannukah and its relevance for Christians)

Here's my word cloud.  Get yours here.

Oh, but those are not boring at all! Think about how much info we can glean about you in just those 12 sentences: new baby, 14 years of marriage, etc. And I love this one: "If everyone lived like me, we would need 7.7 additional planets the size of earth to sustain us all. "
Good-bye, we're off to Charlotte!

See... we hadn't met until May, so I don't think I saw the first few months of your blog. So this gave me a little snippet into Chronicles pre-bloggers-picnic.
I see you had your 14th anniversary this year also.

not boring in the least. I think we all feel that way about our own stuff because we lived it and we wrote it. to me, you live an incredibly cool life of traveling adventure, the wonderful smells of exotic foods and good coffee, mixed with a healthy dose of the realities of knowing/loving your kids and homeschooling them anyway. pretty good mix.
