So, Fat Bridesmaid posed some questions on her blog and I wanted to take the time to answer them.
- Was 2009 good for you? Yes, there is nothing I can complain about. Had a rough start to the year being stressed about the little things, but everything calmed down with a job change in April, and again in November. Satisfied with 2009!
- What was your favorite moment of the year? Probably when I hit 40 pounds down and my coworkers surprised me with a card and a “congratulations” balloon that stayed floating for 3 months.
- What was your worst moment of the year? While on family vacation in DC trying to keep up with fam to get a burger from Ray's Hellburger. I thought I was going to pass out or die from the heat, dehydration and walking up all these hills. Mortifying and a shocker at how bad of shape I was in.
- Where were you when 2009 began? Cozy under the covers sleeping.
- Who were you with? Hubs of course! And pup Lilly.
- Where were you when 2009 ended? On my sofa watching the ball drop with Dick Clark, sitting next to my dad, friend Anne and hubs.
- Did you keep your new years resolution of 2009? I didn't really make any resolutions for 2009. At the time had the mentality that resolutions were just setting myself up for failure.
- Do you have a new years resolution for 2010? I believe I'll have some resolutions, but those will have to be posted at a later date after I've reflected on things a little longer.
- Did you fall in love in 2009? No, but I continued to grow more in love with hubs!
- Did you make any new friends in 2009? I made some new blogging friends like Krissie and new Twitter friends in Lexington. Yay for social media!
- What was your favorite month of 2009? September
- Why this month? Positive mindset, winding down at old job, had a week off before starting new job in November.
- Did you travel outside of the US in 2009? Nope.
- How many different places did you travel to in 2009? Hm, DC, Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, Knoxville, Cincy, Indy, Louisville. So, 9? DC was the only vacation.
- Did you miss anybody in the past year? I missed a couple friends who have gone their own ways, but they're not lost forever.
- What was your favorite movie that you saw in 2009? The Hangover
- What was your favorite song from 2009? “Don't Stop Believing” from the Glee cast and Fireflies by Owl City
- How many concerts or plays did you see in 2009? Just 1, the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
- Did you have a favorite concert in 2009? Unfortunately, no.
- What was your favorite book in 2009? A Thousand Splendid Suns
- Did you do anything you are ashamed of this year? No.
- What was the biggest lie you told in 2009? I say “I'm fine” a lot when I can't articulate my feelings or just want to shut down in my own little world. This happened a little more than I would have liked it to in 2009.
- Did you treat somebody badly in 2009? I don't think so, but feel free to correct me if I have!
- Did somebody treat you badly in 2009? Not necessarily “badly” but with lack of kindness and consideration? Yes. They are oblivious to it though.
- What was your proudest moment of 2009? Hitting 50 pounds down.
- What was your most embarrassing moment of 2009? My almost passing out in DC. See #3
- If you could go back to any moment of 2009 and change something, what would it be? Starting this blog (and my journey) earlier in the year.
- Where did you work in 2009? 3 places! 1 job in Cynthiana KY, the rest in Lexington. All in marketing.
- Favorite TV shows(s) of 2009? Glee
- Favorite Band(s) of 2009? OneRepublic, the Glee cast
- Favorite Food in 2009? Low carb meatballs in vodka cream sauce
- Favorite Drink in 2009? Venti black eye with heavy cream from Starbucks.
- Favorite Place in 2009? my house. I'm a homebody.
- Favorite person(s) to be with in 2009? Hubs. He works so much.
- Favorite person(s) to talk to in 2009? Hubs. And Lizzie.
- Favorite trip in 2009? It was for work, but I enjoyed going to Atlanta as I got to see a couple friends and have dinner with my mom's old friend.
- Favorite stores in 2009? Zappos, Old Navy, Kiyonna
- Hardest thing you had to go through in 2009? 2 job changes. Even though both by my choice, it's still very hard to leave somewhere and start new. I'm a little too loyal for that to be comfortable.
- Most exciting moment(s) in 2009? Starting this blog at the end of June and anticipating if people would relate to it.
- Funniest moment(s) in 2009? It's been a pretty calm year. But the funniest moment that stands out to me happened on NYE when Anne's boy (age 3) asked a very funny question to someone. So funny how kids ask questions adults are too reserved to ask.
