Kate's 2005 Year In Review

1) Was 2005 a good year for you? It was a hard and stressful year. Too much responsibility, too little in the way of money, too much time needing to be taken off from a new job, and more time on airplanes than I've had in 15 years.

3) What was your least favorite moment of the year? Dealing with the fact that Kirk got married secretly and didn't bother to tell us till 4 months later. Funny, that marriage has already ended in divorce.
