A year in review

I feel like I have been in a fog these past few months....the Holiday season was rushed in by a post thankgsgiving trip to Disney (which I have yet to post about!!!), the Christmas came and went, and little traveling, my baby girl turned 5 9I still haven't wrapped my head around that!) and I am touring school/kindergartens!

I have been meaning to do a new years post....and hey it is still January, right!...here goes...( I modified this...found this on Lelly's great blog)

1.What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before? I traveled a lot (see #5, and add a trip to Louisiana to visit parents, a few jaunts to Ohio for family, and a trip to Disney).

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I haven't made real big resolutions in many years....I hate the disappointment!

3. Did anyone close to you give birth? no

4. Did anyone close to you die? my husband's grandmother passed away...I always called her G-Kate

5. What countries did you visit? I was lucky enough to go to London, England twice with my husband on business....hopefully I can make it one more time this year! We also spent a few days in Mazatlan , Mexico for our 10th anniversary.

6. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008? dedication...to an exercise plan...and a budget!

7. What dates from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Nov. 4th was a biggie

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? I am stumped by this...I finally joined a gym and started a basic exercise regiment.

9. What was your biggest failure? I had several home improvement plans on the agenda for 2008, and NONE were accomplished. Going back to # 8...I did get the "quick" results I expected, and didn't follow through.

10. Where did most of your money go? I wish I knew

11. What song will always remind you of 2008? Anything by the Avett Brothers...I "discovered them this year, saw them once live, and listened a lot.

12. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? 
b) thinner or fatter? 
c) richer or poorer? I am about the same on all three

13. What do you wish you’d done more of? Played outside with the kids

14. What do you wish you’d done less of? watch tv...we get cozy and "veg" too much!

15. Did you fall in love in 2008? yes...after 10 years...all over again

16. What was your favorite TV program? gossip girl...and NCIS

17. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year? no, I just don't have that in me.

18. What was the best book you read? I became completely absorbed in the Outlander series...I flew thru the first 5, and I have labored (but I still enjoy it) for over 2 months now!

19. What was your favorite film of this year? I think Juno, cute & quirky...Also loved SATC...but I didn't see very many.

20. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? I turned 33 last year....and I have no recollection of doing anything "special"...when did that happen???

21. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2008? I play it safe, I wear solids, and classics. I am always "dressed" and gym clothes are for the gym.

22. What kept you sane? a few great friends!
