year in review, 2004 / paragiraffe is a blog by maura

Reasons why 2004 rocked my socks off:

The best New Year’s Eve ever…thus far, anyway.
I got bangs! Best hair decision I’ve made in a decade. AND I got a 12” Powerbook. Nice.
I went on a cruise. And I went to Disneyworld (Magic Kingdom, Epcot), for the first time in all of my twenty-three years (second cruise, though).
Emma went to prom, and Audra is freaking old.
Meredith came to visit.
I went to Bonnaroo! (Yeah, seriously, what was I thinking?)
July was uneventful, apparently, but I did profess my love for baking soda.
I was obsessed with the Olympics, and Emma got older.
I got a TiVo! I redesigned my site for the first time in almost a year and a half.
I voted in a Presidential election for the first time, and the Red Sox ended an 86-year-old curse.
I turned 23! Yeah! I bought a car! Allen turned 21! Bahaha.
I had a wonderful Christmas, as always. I even saw a little snow.

The most important reason 2004 was so great was that it didn’t suck like 2003. But this is just me. How do you feel about the past year? What exciting things happened?
