Sign my New Year's Slam book

In no particular order or preference, here are some of my memories of the year we just survived.

*Electrelane made the most beautiful song of the year.

* I went to Northampton, England, Steve's hometown to meet relatives. In the 10 days we were there, I never did adjust to the time difference and went home to the hotel every day at 4 p.m., when it was pitch black.

* Steve made his first music video, coinciding with my first stroll along the pebbly shores of Brighton, in the stinging cold mist as the sun set around 3 p.m.

* I had a lot of me time while Steve was out of the country, working at locations on five of the seven continents.

* I celebrated my first wedding anniversary with Mr. Sweetypants and forgot to purchase the single rose I was beholden to give him per our rose ceremony.

* I won an Addy.

* I fought the law and the law won.

* I followed the misguided antics of an online dater who blew my experiences with big losers in my online dating past out of the water, and I worked up the nerve to post Gawker comments.

* Steve and I ripped off the Jesus and Mary Chain in his home recording studio.

* I became a founding member of the Tuesday Night Board Meeting, which makes my week happy.

* I went to Vegas for the first time, then to Pahrump, Nevada, to meet more of Steve's family. Never did acclimatize to the outdoor temperature of 117 F, but I did go to my first brothel.

* Miss Eudora Thunderkiss barely survived anaphylactic shock after getting a distemper shot, but we found a great house-call vet so she never has to have one again.

* I had my dream vacation with my Megafun kids.

*I love this baby.

* I went to my 20-year high school reunion with Steve and April.

* My mama found an alligator in her backyard.

* I still get misty when I think about Freddy Mercury.

* Thaddy Mack/Kristel, Pookie/Tosh, and Roisin/Locke all got married. Buttercup got engaged.

* I got to see my beloved Wolfpack from floor seats then tape Coach Lowe for a work project.

* I got really mad and focused my energy on stopping really bad people.

* Walruses really like buckets.

* I got to sit and listen to Elvis Costello sing "Shipbuilding."

* I got a lot of flack for not having a baby.

* I came to peace with the corporate world.

* I coaxed my parents a few steps forward into the world of Internet commerce.

* I sent a guy to jail.

* I won two out of two games of bingo at the state fair and got a major prize.

* I started a silly blog called "That Girl From Shallotte."
