Yeah yeah... another blog another year.. I had a long crazy year. It began last year on a bad note.. and continued on one for quite sometime, but I see the upswing now... life is slowly getting better. I did accomplish some of my new year's resolutions from last year, I have begun to eat onions, got a kick azz new job, hit the one year (amazing!) mark with my man, had a fabo time in Florida, however I have not yet begun saving for a house (all in due time eh?) and I have set some new goals for this year...
1.) Begin to eat 2 new vegetables on a regular basis.
2.) Lose some weight, and get back on track!
3.) Finally open that savings account..
4.) Move to a new place and get a cute puppy!
Easy goals.. and I now have revived last year's survey to look back on 2008...

Nothing.. nada...

My Grandmother finally passed on Labor Day weekend, talk about "death by inches"... and we buried both my Grandmother and Grandfather together in Kansas.

Did you fall in love?
Yes, I love my boyfriend...

Describe your birthday?
Well the friday before it I had a party, and I spent most of it crying and missing my mom, and being a debbie downer... at my own party! I can't wait to turn 30! I hate being 29!!
What's one thing you thought you'd never do but did in 2008?
Finally got a salaried job!
What has been your favorite moment? Seeing Obama getting elected, hearing the cheers, the roar in Club G's, and getting really drunk with my dear friend, since it was her birthday that day too!
What has been your least favorite moment? Honestly the beginning of 2008 was so crappy.. and dealing with having no job, and no friends, boyfriend working long hours to support us.. really bad first 2 months
Any new additions to your family?
Nope, and there will not be any, sadly.
What was your best month?
March, coming back from Flordia and finally staring a job.
Made any friends?
I finally reconnected with old friends, and began reconnecting with Jim a bit..
And there you have a summary of 2008, it was a long hellish year.. the only 2 high points were getting a job, and Jim switching from second shift down to first back in September. I have a gut feeling alot of things are going to be changing in 2009..
