Best Of…
Movie: Almost Famous (a surprise great movie)
(Worst Movie: Charlie & the Chocolate Factory w/ Johnny Depp – AWFUL)
Song: Rascal Flatts, Fast Cars & Freedom
Female Friend: Karen Cruse – we talked and laughed a lot in ’05 and she was open enough to let me set her up multiple times. She’s one of the most sincere people I know.

Hmmm... might intentionally be pregnant? Are we planning on drinking the water that's being passed around? :-D Much love to ya!
That's the first time I've heard that mentioned. Did the little ones over the holidays set the clock ticking that quickly? Didn't you just swear that off really forcefully like a month ago when you and I were talking about it?
Hey wow, that came off harshly, sorry. If you've decided that's what you want to do, I support you fully, of course. That's just a big attitude change in a really short period of time ;).
No, i still think that kids (NOT BABIES) are more often annoying than not, don't get me wrong. only reason that this is even a possibility at the END of the year would be so that timing works out (career-wise, age-wise, etc.). I have NOT fully agreed with this idea yet. :)
While I appreciate that you're disappointed that we lost touch over the year, I just think that things are different for us again. This happened to us before you got engaged too. It's just hard to understand what I'm going through. I hope you never do. (And that's obviously meant in a good way.)
Lisa, i'd agree that things are different and i'd agree that i don't want to experience the frustration you're going through. It was, from my end, hard to lose touch with the person i just put up on a pedestal for the world to see as my Matron of Honor a few months after the fact. I’m supportive of you and Kendall and wish you all the best on the baby-making front. While I may not understand all you’re going through, I would have appreciated the opportunity to be your friend more through the rough times in '05.
