The New Years post

I figure since its still January I am still permitted to do a New Years post. It's been no secret that '08 and '09 have really done me no favors.

- Discovered the joy of backyard garden parties
- Had the best surprise birthday party of my life
- Had the best donut
- Went to Disneyland (It was the thought)
- Went on a carnival ride for the first time in a decade (again, it was the thought)
- Had the longest streak of no broken nails ever
- Started a new job
- Didn't kill one plant and in fact made a tropical flower bloom
- Went on a staycation
- Got engaged
- Discovered the gas-saving convenience of public transportation
- Didn't have any car trouble or phone trouble
- Got some fun gadgets i.e. a Canon D5000 SLR, iPad (through my job)

- Lost 4 lbs
- Won a free wedding cake
- Had an awesome birthday party
- Vanquished an evil roommate and had Tanya move in, making our roommate situation about as blissful as it gets and by blissful I mean the Real World only with all girls, but no grudges.
- Made steps to be more fiscally responsible
- Hated Zumba less (hip-hop is way better)
- Engaged in another few months of girl's nights watching "The Bachelor"
- Spent five days with my long-time bestie
- Started a long awaited ballroom dancing class

So who knows. Maybe the new trend will be that there is no trend. I'm on the edge of my seat....
