We wrap up 2005 with the Saturday Six, and bring in 2006 with the Sunday Seven. How’s that for a double whammy??

For those who’d like to join in on the fun, playing is simple: you can either answer the questions in this journal or you can answer them in your own blog and leave a link. It is strongly recommended that you answer the journals in your blog and post the link…since several of the people who are playing have relocated away from AOL, it’s important that everyone knows where your new (or temporary) blogging homes are, so if you don’t mind, leave a first name and your journal’s link, just so we can find you easier!

But before the questions, it was Auntie Lyn, of “Lyndas’s Lullaby 2” who was the first to play last week. Congratulations, Lyn!

Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!

1. From a financial standpoint, was 2005 a good year or a bad year for you? Do you expect 2006 to be better or worse?

2. What was your least favorite moment of 2005?

3. Did you lose anyone close to you in 2005? If so, who were they?

4. Take this quiz (if you haven’t already!): What do you know about blogging?

5. Where were you when 2005 began? Where were you when 2005 ended?

6. Did you make new year’s resolutions for 2005? If so, how many did you keep?

If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), click the e-mail link in my Blogger profile and send it to me.

MY ANSWERS:
1. 2005 was definitely a worse year than 2004. But the primary reason that is true is because of two surgeries I had to have. I expect 2006 to be better because I know of nothing else that needs plumbing work.

2. Probably the abdominal surgery. I could have done without that.

3. I’ve been lucky in that I’ve lost very few of the people close to me. My paternal grandmother died in October at the age of 89.

4.

Well, You Know What a Blog Is…

You got 3/8 correct! But, truthfully, most blogs probably bore you.

5. The same thing both years: sitting at home with the dogs watching the ball drop in Times Square on television.

6. I don’t think I made any resolutions because I expected myself to break them. I figured why waste a step. Resolutions are one thing; goals are something different…at least the way I look at them.
