and the orange handcuffs go to...

Wow... It has been a while since I have written anything around here... I have been quite busy, but I have to admit that it has mostly been for lack of enthusiasm and a whole lot of lazyness on my part... I am back though... for the happiness of some and dismay of a only a few (I hope). I warn you and apologize before hand, for I don't intedn with this post to tell one more of my adventures... NO... Contrary to what you might think... I have NOT ran out of those... BELIEVE ME... lol It's just that need to recap a bit on 2007 in it's entirety... And for that, I come to you with the review of the 2007 season of "Welcome to larissa's life" (something I have never done before...). I have decided to come about this subject in two ways... The first will be the "Larissa's life award" or "The Orange Handcuffs" (Orange, cause I love that color and handcuffs cause it kind of represents well a bit of my personalty...) to the best and worst moments of my life this year... and the second will be an "Inventory" with the total numbers of 2007...

The "Orange Handcuffs" go to...
