Sunday Stealing: Good-bye, 2009 Meme

hmmmm, I have no clue!!! 



2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?


I didn't make any resolutions, because I am very aware of the fact that rarely do I keep to them.  This year however I am resolving to lose the last 10 pounds I have to lose from my pregnancy by March 1st!  I have some others but these I will share with you later!!!





3. How will you be spending New Year's Eve?


As of right now... I think we are spending it with some friends as the people I normally spend it with will be partying in NYC!

Thank God, I have not lost any loved ones this year!!!

Nothing this year, again thanks to God!

Gotta get that... BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!

I try not to hate, but my ex-husband is on my I absolutely hate list this year and probably for good now!

HP ( I love them all) but also the X-Men Origins was great too!

I went out to eat with the family... it was on a tuesday night and a week before our trip to Colombia so I couldn't afford anything big.





22. What kept you sane?


My knitting, that's about it!



23. Whom did you miss?


I missed my friend Deirdre... not sure why (actually I have a clue) but we stopped talking about 1 1/2 years ago now.





24. Who was the best new person you met?


I sadly can't name one!  But I'd say my mother-in-law, I had met her on the phone, but in person for the first time in October and she is the sweetest woman on earth!





25. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009:




Always have your eyes open, and don't be blinded by your emotions.

AND I will second Melanie's answer "Never, ever, take your husband's love for granted"



I hope you also play along, if you do leave me a comment so I can hop over and check out your answers.
