I never make resolutions.

Doh! Where were you blogging at this time last year? I seem to remember a total blogging hiatus for a time, because you forgot your xanga password?? Anyway. I'm glad you did it this year! :) You're much more concise with your answers than me - I babble a bit too much! Ah well.
PS - I watched Love Actually the other day and thought of you.
