Worst Moments of 2006

What a great list Lisa. You were one of the only bright spots this last month. THANKS!!!
I saw Bindi on Chris's list and I thought it was a joke.... why does he dislike her so much? Hmmmm.
Love the pictures of the kids and the England photos... how sweet. Here is to more painting in 2007!
Well. . .you still manage to sound fabulous. . .even with your "worst moments" list. And I've seen you without make-up, and I'll take on Phoebe -- she's wrong!
I was looking at old pictures the other day and noticed that there are very few people who get better with age -- but you definitely do. You were beautiful in your twenties, but a knock-out in your 30s. We'll just keep shooting for fabulous and 50! It's our decade!
Happy to have shared 2006 with you-
Your pictures are awesome. I loved your list. Now I have to go check Topher's list.
This is a great list! I'm sad that we're not around to crash your parties and Sundays and (fingers crossed) make your "Best of" list. We sure miss you...thought any more about that anniversary trip to New York?
PS: Great pictures.
Lisa!! Loved the list and LOVED the pics!!!
Such great pics! By the way, the Thrillionaires would have crashed and burned without you! Here's to an awesome 06 and looking forward to an even better 07!
You're making me miss you even more! That photo of your family was perfect. I love all of your expressions and I can just hear all the chattering/talking going on!
Did Chris finally get the picture and get you the runza?
One of my new resolutions is to call you more often (I need my Lisa fix). . .every time I think of calling, I say, "oh, she's probably getting the kids fed/to bed/just home from school, etc, etc., so SORRY, now I'm just going to be interrupting your every moment to chat!!
Love your list, love your photos. LOVE that last one of Phoebe. Love that you had the best birthday.
2006...when I had my first Runza. *sigh*
You're so dang cute!
(I feel your pain about the "get real job" comment. One day I drove by Adventure Time and my second child said to me, "Why don't you go to work so I can come here very day.")
Topher put the photos on. This year I'm going to learn technology. And yes, Runza's from Toph. A great Christmas all around.
You're just so PRETTY. I can help with the technology thing, really.
I don't like that Bindi either...she's crafty.
Seriously, what is Topher's deal with Bindi????
Good to talk to y'all the other day.
Um, that picture of you is HOT.
Maybe there IS hope for me if you teach me, Carina!
Topher says he ain't down with Bindi because she looks like a monkey and she capitalized on her father's death. Those are TOPHER'S WORDS. . . I say cut her some slack. I mean, I'm not going to buy her new line of kid videos, but I have no beef with her.
Look at you and all your cute pics... What a fabulous list you have!
lisa,
boy, do you look beautiful!
I think Topher is right.
Lisa is so pretty.
It was a great 2006! Even if your family didn't watch your 1 billion children, "they" did help you get to England! That bitter better not be directed toward me, punk! BTW, you look hot!
I just caught Bindi on C-Span. Man, she's annoying. I think Topher and Azucar are right.
