How do you stay organized? 
Submitted by devillibrarian. 

I usually don't attempt to get organized until I'm in a total state in distress.  So I usually just stay un-organized until I really need to get my act together.

What are you saving up for?

If I could save money, I would be saving up for a move to California! or a vacation.

How far from your last home do you live? Why did you move and are you glad you did? 
Submitted by Matthew 25.

Mileage-wise: about 300 miles Time-wise: a 3 and 1/2 hour drive or 30 minute plane ride.  I moved back to Miami because my mother has been sick and I came to help out.  Right now, I'm not too glad that I did because I'm unhappy with my job and school situation here.  I hopefully can overcome that this year with a new job!

What are your rituals or traditions for starting off a new year?  

I'm starting a new one - a new year's cleaning.

What was the best movie you saw this year?

This movie isn't from 2007, but is probably the one of the best movies I saw this year. The last movie I saw in the theater was Blades of Glory, so most of my movie watching this year came courtesy of my Blockbuster open access subscription. This was one of the movies that kept me thinking after it ended and definitely has a little bit of everything in it.

What's the best book you read this year?

Considering it is the only book I read this year not related to school/textbook, it would have to be The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry by Kathleen Flinn. I bought it for a friend who is interested in going to the Cordon Bleu in Paris, but felt she was getting a little too old to be messing around with culinary school.  It's a nice, quick, and light read for anyone who has had the expatriate living in Paris fantasy.  The best part is the recipes at the end of each chapter which I have yet to try.
