New Year’s Resolution: Resume this Blog.

Here are some things (and people and places) I discovered in 2007:
The Atlanta Botanical Garden
The movie Waitress
Writer, director and actress Adrienne Shelly and her tragic demise
The shortest and smartest 3-year-old in Atlanta (and she happens to be mine!)
The Shakespeare Tavern
The music of the 70's (I have rediscovered the music of my youth as I’ve been faking a lot of seventies songs on the piano)
Universal Healthcare as practiced in other countries (via the movie Sicko, not 1st hand experience)
La Madeleine
Showtime (Weeds, Dexter, Californication)
The ridiculous number of Transformer toys
Key Cinema Sunday
The I-Pod Nano
Khaled Hosseini
Facials
People either love or hate Christmas carols
Café Bombay (I can put away some goat!)
Vegas, Baby!(For our 10th Anniversary)
Marilyn Manson had a terrible childhood
There are bad movies made in England too—they just don’t make it over here very often
Adrien Brody is sexy
So is Richard Roeper (and to think I squandered my time on the cruise with him back in 2003)
Northside Tavern
Baba Ghanoush
Third and fourth graders are given too much homework
Colorado Springs
Manitou Springs
You need at least a week for a decent beach getaway
The closest hospital to Edisto Beach is 40 miles away in Charleston, SC.
Nine-years-old must be a growth milestone for boys
I’ve taken my last trip on a Greyhound.
Some airlines are better than others. (All are better than Greyhounds!)
The Georgia Aquarium
I hate housework (OK—I knew that before 2007)
I can now French braid someone else’s hair

What did you discover in 2007?
