If you could do anything you want tomorrow, what would it be?
Submitted by Becca-Pink.
Sleep late. Not have heartburn, owie teeth, headache, sadness, hurty tailbone, bad cough. Grab a frosty beverage and read a magazine. Win the lottery. Make art.
How have you changed in the past year?
Submitted by littleduckling.
That's the problem, I'm not sure I have. Well, not how I'd like, anyway. I
What do you do when you get a crush on someone?
Submitted by Desi.
I immediately suppress the feeling because I'm now married.

If you were independently wealthy, where in the world would you live?
Submitted by Eileen.
My answer is similar (thankfully) to Rube Burrow's answer. Not identical, but definitely compatible. I'd have my home base be where we live now, but I'd also want condos in London, Manhattan, and Arlington, VA. I don't need condos in other places because if I'm independently wealthy, I can afford to stay in a 4 or 5 star hotel when I visit. ;)
But as for here, my home base... that's tough for me to decide. When I daydream about this stuff, I get torn between having a really nice, spacious house somewhere in Los Altos Hills, Palo Alto (flat lands or hills), near downtown Mt. View, or somewhere in San Francisco. And oh gosh, don't even get me started about *where* in San Francisco to get a permanent residence! Noe Valley? St. Francis Woods? Across from Pac Bell Park? Pacific Heights? Presidio Heights?
It's no wonder I'm never able to fully finish my daydream about winning the super lotto because I can't choose a frigging house to buy in the dream. =P
RIP Question o the Day.

Um, if you haven't looked over the fantastic people up for auction at Sweet Charity today is a great day to do so!
I know I never post here anymore, but I have to do this public service announcement to the greater Vox community at the very least.
There will be a Chocolate Show in San Francisco on April 13, 2008.

You're welcome.
Remind me to eat some protein that morning. Oh my.
Hey folks, just an FYI: I have not dropped off the face of the earth. Instead, I have resurrected my own blog and am posting over there - www.crankyspace.com
I like Vox a lot, but I hate that I'm posting stuff about my life someplace that isn't owned by me. And worse, doesn't allow me to get my content out (even LJ lets you export!) so I just couldn't continue to do it any longer. I don't mistrust Vox or 6A but my posts are my words about my life and I want to own them, maintain and control them now and in the future. Vox just doesn't allow that. I knew that when I started posting, but I guess I hoped that functionality would come - and it hasn't. Which is really too bad because posting pictures here is 100x easier than in Wordpress.
I'm still reading my neighbourhood and my account isn't going anywhere but if you want to see what I'm up to you'll need to head into the hinterlands of the internet.
Thanks,
Mary-Lynn
If you were suddenly granted the day off today, how would you go spend your free time?
First thing I'd do is go to the post office and pick up my booooooooooooots.
What I'd do after that would depend on whether or not Harry the Bastard also got the day off. If he did, I'd have us drive to Half Moon Bay and relax over there and have lunch somewhere (perhaps at The Ritz).
If he didn't have the day off, I'd, um, heh... get some chores done around the house. That may sound dull and boring to you, but it's stuff I really want to get done and it's bothering me that I have been a slackass lately. Well, not a total slackass, but I have been busy and then choose to sleep instead of clean.
But don't worry, I definitely plan to do fun stuff this weekend. =)
How do you want 2008 to be different from 2007? What will you change or do differently?
Submitted by Becca-Pink.
I want to make active, conscious decisions to do things. As I reflect back on 2007, I get the impression I just reacted to all the stuff that happened around me. Now granted, a lot of that stuff was loved ones getting very sick, but that doesn't mean I couldn't have made more of an effort to do plan things.
I'm talking about both big and small things. I want to invite people over more often. I want to work on some projects of my own instead of just putz around on the laptop in the evening. Maybe I'll pick up the guitar again. I definitely want work more on my card-making hobby. I'd like to plan a day and/or weekend where I just sit down and make a stockpile of cards I can use in the future. I want to plan a mini-trip this year to somewhere in the U.S. I want to work on tidying up and organizing the sides of the garage. I want to plan meals and cook more.
I also want to focus more on Da Husband and me. Everything's fine with the relationship, but I want to make sure I don't ever start taking it for granted. I want to make a conscious effort to focus on it and enjoy it.
I want to DO stuff, and I want to think about it and plan it in addition to being spontaneous.
What won't you miss about 2007?
Submitted by uncagedbird.
Sadly, most of the stuff I won't miss from 2007 are still going to stick around with me in 2008 until they are put to rest: Poor client communications, my infertility...those are the big ones. I am happy to put the lid on the deaths, but I can't say for sure I won't have to deal with that again in 2008.
I have put stuff into place to fix the money issues of 2007 and am working on fixing my attitude. I am trying to convince myself that my attitude and my choices can fix a lot of the other problems. We'll see how that goes.
