i got this from du wax loolu today and was glad, as i didn't have that much to say today.
1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before?
bought mice....as pets. no really, that is literally the only thing i could think of. i did think of saying that i hadn't worried about who i was loving or who loved me, which is also true, however, i'm sure when i was 15 years old, i didn't worry about those things.
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
i don't really have them, so i can't say that i keep them
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
yes, a few people
4. Did anyone close to you die?
yes
5. What countries did you visit?
none
6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
a life...no really. i would like to have been able to live my life in the second half as i did the first half. i remember (vaguely) sitting there thinking, "is it really THIS EASY???"
7. What dates from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
i don't know. maybe october 22nd as the 2nd anniversary of my dad's transplant. i don't know that that day will ever go away though. you expect each year to bring you peace...however, it is startling to find that it doesn't do that for you on it's own
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
making life even easier by being married. really...
9. What was your biggest failure?
this was a really successful year for me. i really would say that my only failure was not realizing in advance that i was able to do what i wanted all along.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
yes, for the first time, i did.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
i have no clue...maybe some discontinued toothpaste for t.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
t...he exceeded expectations once again this year. he is above anyone i know in recognizing what needs to be changed in his life.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
people who were given second and third chances, that continued to let their failure and insecurities get in the way again and again. it makes me sad
14. Where did most of your money go?
to this damn house
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
t getting his work award and me getting into school.
16. What song will always remind you of 2009?
Um. I don't think there is one.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder?
b) thinner or fatter?
c) richer or poorer?
Happier, thinnner and richer. i am happier this year. i have probably taken off a couple of pounds that i didnt want to know that i knew they were there, (i weighed today...i've lost 11 since starting on my weight loss journey), and richer because i have money in savings!
18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
been relaxed, seen more movies, read more books
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
studying
20. How did you spend Christmas?
at my parent's house in colorado
21. Did you fall in love in 2009?
i have realized, once again, that i am with the person i need to be with
22. What was your favorite TV program?
biggest loser, keeping up with the Kardashians ( i know...so what?), i still have daily hopes that they will revive the MOLE
23. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
no. i might dislike things that people have done, but not hate them
24. What was the best book you read?
Dr. wayne dyer, excuses begone
25. What was your greatest musical discovery?
these are not new, but i got a liking for alicia keys and beyonce

peace of mind knowing that i was in school for what i wanted
28. What was your favorite film of this year?
i don't know...before i saw it, i thought that paper heart would be it, but it wasn't. i didn't see a lot this year at all....so i don't have an answer

i was here and got a great massage

i have no idea...
31. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2009?
oh sheesh, nothing.
32. What kept you sane?
understanding family
33. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
edward norton and anderson cooper.
34. What political issue stirred you the most?
i was not stirred
35. Who did you miss?
my grandfather
36. Who was the best new person you met?
i met a lot of new people this year. i would say that Cynthia from school was definitely the most intellectual and interesting
37. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009.
life gives you the chance to do things over and over, you just have to recognize when the right times are
