I just finished paying my bills, and wrote “2006” on a check for the first time: my rent check, dated 1/1/2006 (luckily, the year is still a higher number than my rent!).
It felt both weird and kind of cool. 
What was (or will be) your first check of 2006?
First cheque for 2006 is likely to be to either one of my business’ sub-contractors, or to my lawn contractor. Depends on how fast the grass grows.
Probably sometime in March I’ll remember to write 2006 on a check instead of 2005. :smack:
At least in the past, March has normally been when I can consistently remember that another year has turned. Can I blame it on the weather?
Of course you can.
