Polo and Lennon's threads got me thinking. It's pretty fun seeing where some of us were at the beginning of the year, and seeing how much our lives have changed. Fill out the survey/add questions and then we can see how much has changed 6 months or 1 year from now!

Any predictions for yourself for 2012?
Hopefully BF and I will be getting engaged in 2012. BF has already said he knows when he is going to do it, I'm guessing it will be the later half of 2012 though.

AudgiePodge

What big changes occurred in 2011?

Got married

What major events are you looking forward to in 2012?

Nothing, really.  I don't have any big plans for '12 yet.

How many children or buns in the oven?

One

Where do you live?

Las Vegas

What is your job?

Taking care of the house.

What is BF/FI/DH's job?

Makes games for mobile devices.

How many furbabies/names?

None

What goal are you working towards?

Nothing currently

Any predictions for a NEYer for 2012?

I'm not feeding the BSC.

Any predictions for yourself for 2012?

I will remain awesome.. and modest.

SopChick

Fun, it'll be kind of like a mini time capsule! Sorry, I'm feeling especially dorky today...

What big changes occurred in 2011?
I quit my full-time job and started my Master's 5000km away from where I grew up. I'm attempting to follow my dream of being a professional opera singer.

What major events are you looking forward to in 2012?
More school....? Nothing major on the horizon.

How many children or buns in the oven?
No babies, thankfully. I don't think I could deal with school and kids running around!

Where do you live?
BF and I live on the West Coast of Canada while I'm going to school. He made the move out here with me last summer before I started school.

What is your job?
Currently I'm a full-time student. I didn't work this term as my program has very strange schedules, and I wanted to get a feel for it. I'm hoping to work in our costume department, building costumes for the shows we put on each year. My previous job was supporting young adults with intellectual disabilities.

What is BF/FI/DH's job?
He's a web developer. Most other details of it go over my head.

How many furbabies/names?
Just the ones our parents have for the moment. We would really, really like to get a dog (chocolate or liver &white English or American cocker or English springer spaniel), but our lease, budget, and schedules don't allow for it right now. Ideally we have talked about having 2 spaniels once we have a house with enough space for them.

What goal are you working towards?
I'm working towards accepting my body, loving it as is, but also getting healthy. I've spent too long being focused on getting thin over being healthy, and it just doesn't work. Also, I'm working towards feeling more comfortable with self-promotion when it comes to my singing. I'm really bad at it, and in my chosen field, you'll go nowhere without that skill. Looking at both of those, it really seems like I'm working on building my self-esteem.

Any predictions for a NEYer for 2012?
I'm so out of touch with my intuition it's not even funny.

Any predictions for yourself for 2012?
See above, haha. I'm hoping that I can get up the nerve to compete in some big competitions next year and get my name (and voice) out there on the radar. Beyond that, I have no idea.

thejucheidea

What big changes occurred in 2011? We bought our house.

What major events are you looking forward to in 2012? Crossing my fingers for an engagement and perhaps a marriage. Non-relationship, I'm going to be working on getting my OCN (oncology-certified nurse).

How many children or buns in the oven? lol, zero.

Where do you live? East Nashville, Tennessee.

What is your job? Cancer research nurse.

What is BF/FI/DH's job? IT support for a large corporation.

How many furbabies/names? Two. Our Golden Retriever is named Bellamy and our Llewellin Setter is named Zoë.

What goal are you working towards? Getting my OCN is a big one, but I'm also making a goal of carefully planning vacations on a regular basis for mental health reasons. I'm trying to be very nurturing toward my mind.

Any predictions for a NEYer for 2012? I'm gonna plead the Audgie on this one -- I'm not fueling any BSC.

Any predictions for yourself for 2012? I'll get my OCN and go on at least two totally bitchin' vacations.

What big changes occurred in 2011?

Mostly, I left my  job with the judge in early January. Thank goodness. A late-year change is that my parentals are moving/have moved 45 minutes away. No more last-minute awesome mom dinners.

What major events are you looking forward to in 2012?

Mai i haz graduation plz?    And throw on a Latin teaching job for me too... And I want to attend the Latin immersion camp. I'm looking forward to those things--and I think I'm going to apply for graduate school (you know, MORE graduate school) to work toward an Ed.D., basically a Ph.D. for education people. You know, because I'm crazy.

How many children or buns in the oven?

None.

Where do you live?

Kansas.

What is your job?

I work for a testing company writing items for the state reading assessments. I love it. I'm actually really sad about leaving everyone, but I really want to teach, so I'll have to leave them here soon.

What is BF/FI/DH's job?

Graduate from Ph.D. to get employed so we can have babies. That's what I call his job though, he'd probably have a more formal name for it.

How many furbabies/names?

A dog and two cats... they're adorable. Lorrie is the dog; Trouble and Mischief are the well-named cats.

What goal are you working towards?

Secure employment as a Bad Arse Latin teacher.  Learn to speak Latin.  Beat BF on the challenge and lose more weight than I thought I could (ONLY if it's healthy!).

What big changes occurred in 2011? I went back to school to do a second degree

What is your job? Right now I'm a customer service and sales person for an insurance company. But I mainly deal with clients by e-mail now. Which is way better than dealing with them on the phone. I'm hoping that next year I'll be doing something else though...
What is BF/FI/DH's job? He's an internal auditor. It's a kick ass job. He never has to work odd hours or overtime. He does have to go a way for 1-2 weeks a year, which is fine. Maybe once we're married, if he gets to go somewhere cool I can tag along. His company does have an office and an apartment in Puerto Rico... Oh and he gets paid well. Well enough that I could quit my job and he'd be able to support both of us comfortably. But that ain't happening, cuz I'd lose my mind.
How many furbabies/names? 2 dogs: Aurora the beagle and Daphne the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. 1 kitty: Tommy
What goal are you working towards? Currently working on a Bachelor of Management degree! (I already have a BA, major in English, minor in History)
