Goodbye Year

In honor of the departure of 2005, I thought an entry on the year 2005 was appropriate. Some of my fellow bloggers have also used this time for a retrospect of the past year- the good times, the bad times, the times that are blog-worthy. Rather than re-hash all 12 months, I thought I would just list the top 12 things I learned in 2005.

1. Never go on a blind date when you have the flu. And for that matter, never go out with anyone named Arthur. Especially if he is 32. That name only belongs on men that have grey pubes.

2. There is a cause and effect reaction from not going to the gym. If I don't go to the gym, it causes me to get fat.

3. Jdate works (no, not for me.) In 2005, I went to 1 jdate wedding, and another friend got engaged.

4. Nothing beats a good pot brownie.

5. An Ace-Seven offsuit in Hold 'Em is not great if you are in 1st or 2nd position.

6. I really am too old for Fire Island.

7. I should have more deductions from my paycheck, and max out my 401K.

8. After 15 years of having sex, I have a new favorite position.

9. You can tell someone on a first date that you "like to rhyme" and he will still like you.

10. LOST really is as great as everyone said it is.

11. My chocolate chip banana bread is as great as I say it is.

12. It is ideal to have a celeb crush with the same name as your boyfriend. He will never know who you are thinking about when you call out the name in bed.
