Well it’s 2008, I can’t say my transition into the new year went terribly well since I had a rather nasty reaction to some Mucinex spray that meant me getting into bed, in horrible pain, at 11 PM. Ten hours and some Ibuprofen later I feel a lot better, but still, not the way one wants to start a new year. I guess I’ll just have to take it from here ;p make the best of it, and celebrate the lunar new year like I usually do anyway. Here’s to second chances!
One new year tradition that I will be carrying on, despite not feeling on top of the weather, is my bulletin board tradition. Every year I photograph my bulletin board at the end of the year, note everything on it (on Flickr), and then take everything down so I can start the year with a fresh board. If you want to see all of the notes just click on the photo above and it will take you to its Flickr page.
One new announcement is that I’ve decided to join Blog 365 where the goal is to blog every day of 2008. Should be a challenge, but today is my 74th day in a row blogging here, so I think I might just be able to make it! Plus I always like to have New Year’s Goals (instead of resolutions) and this seems like a fun one. Wish me luck!

Oh Brigette, I’m sorry to learn you haven’t been feeling well and that your start to the new year has had a little bump. I know it will all be uphill from here!
Love your bulletin board project! Talk about organized, wow. I’m going to try posting more often on my blog, but once a day might just have me feeling more guilty than successful! ;)
Happy New Year to you and I look forward to reading your posts on a daily basis.
Your Friend,
Chris

Thanks :3 I’m trying to drink tea and stay positive!
Yeah if you saw the desk below the bulletin board you probably wouldn’t be impressed with my organizational skills, lol ;3 I’m looking forward to the blog challenge, should be interesting (or so I hope)!
Happy New Year!

WOW…that whole bulletin board project is really neat!
Good luck with blogging daily. I wish I could afford more time to do it myself.
OH, and Happy New Year!

Guo Nian or Die!!!
Everybody who’s anybody celebrates the lunar new year.
P.S. Why do matt and your friends get credit on your bulletin board, but I don’t? *indignant scoff*

Thanks everyone, Happy New Year!
@ M: Please don’t tell me you went through every note looking for your name, tsk tsk.

While I wasn’t concertedly looking for my name, its conspicuous absence did leap out at me ;)
