This is something my friend K puts on her blog every year at the end of the year and I wanted to steal it. lol!
1. What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?
Started a WDW podcast...something I've always been wanting to do, but never pulled the trigger on...
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Gonna go with no...although I don't typically make resolutions, I'm thinking I made one to work out more last year...I started the year strong, but it slowly fizzled to nothing again.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
My SIL had my beautiful niece. :)
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Thankfully no
5. What countries did you visit?
All the ones at Epcot.
7. What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Hmmm...this one's a hard one...I guess Oct. 15...which is the day I got my first ever niece.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I have two...doing the podcast and keeping up with this blog, relatively speaking. I usually don't do well with this diary type thing, so I didn't know how well I'd do with it. Oh...and one more...throwing a baby shower for my SIL...it was my first big shindig!
9. What was your biggest failure?
I don't think I have any...and if I did, I'd hope I could see it as a learning experience, than anything else.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Well, there was that awful disease I got when I got back from Disney...and the awful sinus infection I had...but other that that...the normal stuff...colds.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
WHF's AP...since he bought mine. Oh and my new kitchen table.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
My husband. Just about everyday, he does something to remind me of why I fell in love with him all over again. Whether it's a sweet gesture or doing mundane stuff like helping with the dishes or the laundry...he really is amazing to me.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Well, it isn't one who appalled me, but my mom has kind of made me depressed this year. Since the property she has had for sale for 2 years hasn't sold yet...but I'm hoping that soon that will turn around...we're getting closer, I can feel it. And maybe then she'll be happy again, which will make me a tad happier.
14. Where did most of your money go?
bills, mortgage, and vacations
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Going to Mousefest for the first time.
16. What song will always remind you of 2008?
Hmmm...All Summer Long by Kid Rock...they played that thing everywhere I turned this year!
17. Compared to this time last year, are you happier or sadder?
The same, I guess.
18. Thinner or fatter?
Um...I think heavier...unfortunately, but only by a few pounds.
19. Richer or poorer?
Either about the same or poorer, the jury's still out.
20. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Um...nothing, I think I'm pretty happy with how this year's turned out.
21. What do you wish you'd done less of?
As I'd mentioned, I'm pretty happy with this year...if I had to choose something though, I think it would have been spend less money...
22. How will you be spending Christmas?
Well, we already did that...
23. Did you fall in love in 2008?
I do more so every day
24. Any one night stands?
Wouldn't you like to know...lol!
25. What was your favorite TV program?
How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory. Oh, and I still love Two and a Half Men and Law & Order: SVU
26. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Not that I can think of...
27. What was the best book you read?
Ironically, I didn't really read any books this year I hadn't read already. I did re-read Harry Potter, the whole series and found a new appreciation for Deathly Hallows...I liked it much better this second time.
28. What was your greatest musical discovery?
nothing really...I've been listening to Disney podcasts more than ever actually.
29. What did you want and get?
An AP to Disney World
30. What did you want and not get?
I guess my parent's to sell the house.
31. What was your favorite film of this year?
Um...I honestly don't know...I don't think I have one.
32. What did you do on your birthday?
Went to Six Flags with my besties.
33. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Podcasting. It's allowed me to meet some new people whom I consider as close as family now and it's allowed me to meet people from all over the country who took time out of their vacations to want to come talk to me...little old me! Who'da thunk it?
34. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2008?
A little more American Eagle...I've found a love for the store now...
35. What kept you sane?
WHF...he's always been my rock on that.
36. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
It's the same as it's been...Justin Timberlake...hands down.
37. What political issue stirred you the most?
How could I not say the election?
38. Who did you miss?
old friends
39. Who was the best new person you met?
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to meet a ton of new people this year! It really was great. I will have to say it was pretty great though meeting Anastasia and my neice Katie. Those two get very special nods. :)
40. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008:
That everything will be ok in the end...and if it's not ok, it's not the end. (I got this from my friend Steph...so, if I got it wrong by a smidge, I'm sorry...)
Oh...and also, thanks to being around children this year...yeah, I learned I'm not ready for kids yet. I'm still too selfish...which sounds like a bad thing...but truthfully I think it's good b/c it's good to know I'm not ready to have children at this moment in time...I learned how much of a commitment it truly is and I want to be ready to give it my all...something I'm definitely glad I learned by watching and didn't learn by having to live it first hand yet.
41. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
I kissed a girl and I liked it...
Just kidding...
Honestly, I can't think of one right now...it's been a whirlwind of a year...too many different possiblities.
