8 things I learned in the last year:
I am fickle, and that's OK
I like blogging
There is a lot of pervs out there
When in doubt, it's better to take a risk than do nothing at all
Home improvement projects are a colossal source of stress
I really, really hate wall-to-wall carpets
I am not invincible (go ahead, laugh)
My move to Texas, seven and a half years ago, has changed me. I sometimes don't know if I fit anywhere.

  2. You did a great job on this meme, Ingrid! Again, I learned more about you, how you think, how you feel, and how you see yourself. There is so much I can relate to. I hope that as time goes on, you begin to find your comfort zone in the new life you created when you moved here from the island. Every year brings changes and new understanding. I'm determined that 2008 is going to be my best ever!

  4. I was just chuckling at your post about the keyword searches that get people to your blog.

    My personal favorites for my blog are naked doctor's girlfriend and
    girlfriend sleep sex. Also, being Indian and dating a white guy--it seems to bring interesting people to my blog. :-P

    I just found your blog and I look foward to reading more. :-P

    Happy Holidays!
