2. Played Wii.
3. and Guitar Hero.

6. Taught pre-school. Briefly. Didn’t love it.
7. Lived in western North Carolina.

9. Pulled a kid’s tooth. And didn’t even go unconscious afterwards.

24. Saw James Taylor sing Carolina On My Mind (one of the best songs EVER) in Carolina.

26. Rediscovered my love of reading, used book stores, and the public library.
27. Was taken hostage. (I was very safe the whole time, and because I don’t mind small enclosed spaces, I was quite cozy, so no worries.)

29. Banged pots and pans at midnight on New Year’s. (P Family Tradition.)
