Year End Meme

I got this off of Trisha's blog. I hate these and she loves them. But I need to do stuff to fill up my time, so here you have it.

1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before? Applied for unemployment

2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Hmm… I cannot remember what my resolutions were for last year. Probably to move somewhere better and lose weight. I did the first and a little of the second. This year I am trying to learn not to bite my nails and do good at my new job.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth? Nope, but this year I will have a new nephew.

4. Did anyone close to you die? Not this year

5. What countries did you visit? Just the one I live in. I mostly stayed in California but we did go to Las Vegas in September.

6. What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008? A job, which I have, and did not have in 2008

7. What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? July 1 was the day we moved here. Trisha’s visit in March was very memorable. My Grandpa getting hit on by a hooker in Las Vegas was pretty memorable too.

9. What was your biggest failure? It took me way too long to find a job.

Where’d 12 and 13 go??

20. What do you wish you’d done less of? Stressing out

21. How did you spend Christmas? With my family, which I never do because I usually live too far away. We went to my brother’s on Christmas Eve, Chris, Sherri and Taylor’s on Christmas and my mom’s on Christmas and was still home to open presents on Christmas morning and home for Christmas dinner.

22. Did you fall in love in 2008? Nope, I haven't met George Clooney yet.
