What was my favorite in 2010 .......
Day? The day our kitchen and addition were finally completed in August and seeing the beautiful outcome.
Adventure? Ha, living with me is an adventure all in itself, Just ask my other half…Heh
Book? “Not Without Hope” by Nick Schuyler
Event? 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics
Exercise? Ugh…Yes trying to get motivated to be good in 2011 (not working so far as I’m tossing back chocolates and cookies we still have here at work). A ton of our Vendors sent us major stash!
Experience? Depends on what the experience is being referred to…But, as always, everyday life is an experience.
Hobby? Music and cooking.
Idea? If I told you, it wouldn’t be “my” idea anymore, now would it?
Lesson? Hefty lesson learned: Don’t drive 86 in a 65 mph. A Statie pulled me over a few months back and he issued a ticket for $210 which means major points on my insurance for the next 3 – 7 years. What a prick and it was my first ever ticket offense. This state is always looking for money and yeah I know I’m guilty, but still. Maybe he got upset when I accidentally referred to him as Ma’am instead of Sir when he was reading me the riot act…No lie, it was an honest mistake!
Love? Definitely.
Meal? 2010 Christmas Eve (Ginzo style) I cooked my ass off and enjoyed every minute of it.
Memory? The look on our faces when we saw the finished product of our combo engagement/wedding rings. They’re absolutely gorgeous. Bling, bling baby… ;o)
Movie? Avatar
Song? Bound To You (Christina Aguilera)
TV Show? Boardwalk Empire Series (HBO)
The best thing that happened to me in 2010 was... Out of the blue, at the dinner table, I said “I think it’s time we get married”. Her response with those wide green/blue eyes “REALLY”???!!! I think she was shocked to hear me finally say it, probably thinking OMG finally! I know, I know, but remember, good things come to those who wait. Not the way I envisioned it happening, since I’m the romantic type and wanted it to be special, but…It’s definitely time and well overdo (being 8 years we’ve been together)…or I should say “I Do”….
The worst thing that happened to me in 2010 was... When my mom wasn’t doing so well with her rollercoaster health and in the hospital for a couple of months. Oer the Summer the doctors wanted to have the “talk” with my brother and I about what her wishes would be. That took a major toll on me in 2010. Thankfully, she pulled through and is still with us even though she’s continuing battling with her health.
What did I do for myself this year? Being true to myself and feeling ready for marriage.
What are three things I was reluctant to do, but did them anyway? 1) In the process of appealing a speeding ticket (even though I know I’m guilty, but taking a shot at it, since it’s been my ONLY ticket ever in all of my driving history) (Hoping they’re a little lenient, but I don’t think that will happen) Court date is in a few weeks) (2) Invited my forever Eeyore ho-hum sibling to my home for Thanksgiving and (3)Telling the family my lovely lady and I are planning on getting married.
If I could change one thing about myself in 2011, what would it be? Stop trying to take the weight of the world on my shoulders and fix everything and everyone.
If I could change one thing about my life in 2011, what would it be? To take better care of my health and focus on what matters.
What are three things I WILL change or do differently in 2011? 1) Obey speed limits (give or take a few miles over the limit) but not go 20 miles over the limit, 2) Consider going back to physical therapy, 3) To take advantage of any good opportunity when it/they come my way.
What are three things I was reluctant to do, but want to do in 2011? 1) Stick to a healthy regiment, 2) Control my junk food appetite and 3) Try and I mean “TRY” to control my Road Rage, especially when my honey is in my vehicle. People can be such assholes on the road
