A new car, a new couch, a computer, washer and dryer, an engagement ring, a plane ticket, a fee for a needed document for Susie, Susie's plane ticket here, a new TV, attorney fee (not for visa), a new roof on the house and a new garage door (thanks Katrina!). I think that just about covers it, though I'll probably remember one or two more things later. All were paid for with cash except for the car, which I still owe on.

Ooops apparently I misunderstood this question...I read it as one thing you thought you would do but never did...so my answer was inaccurate as I have not yet brought Javier home. So to answer the question:

19.) What's the one thing you thought you would never do but did in 2006?

dancing on a bar!!!

Don't let the sunshine spoil your rain...just stand up and COMPLAIN!
