Sam's Last Stand: 2011

1. Over all, how do you feel about what happened in your life in 2011? I am satisfied

2. Do you do New Year's resolutions? If so, what are they this year? I do make resolutions but I haven't given it much thought yet... that's today's thinking

3. In the past 24 hours, I have reconnected with 3 old friends that I've not spoken to in years. If you could reconnect with someone from your past who would it be, and why? my friend Tracy--she moved and we lost touch, same with my friend Sue, and my friend Tammy--her life circumstances changed and we just drifted

4. Do you have anything that you would have not done or done differently in 2011 as you look back? I would have stopped being silly about doing things by myself (like going to the movies)

5. Going back to my ex-friends that I reconnected with, one of them ended over a boyfriend. She called to apologize. Do you have someone that you fell out with you and wonder how they are? I haven't fallen out with anyone

6. If you had a chance to reconnect with an ex (say for coffee), who would it be, and why? I don't think I would

7. One of resolutions is about weight-loss. Have you ever struggled with your diet? I have given up the struggle: it is what it is

8. What do you think was the top news story of 2011? I think the devastating tornadoes that ripped through the country is the biggest story.

9. What are your plans for (New Year's Eve) tonight? I am going out to dinner and had planned to go to the movies but the theater is closed for the late show. So, dinner is the only thing going on.
