New Years Eve Meme, But a Bit Late. As Usual.

Since I never seem to do anything on time, except pick up my son for our visit, I will now do a New Years Eve meme. I mean, I'd rather be late and make an appearance than never show up at all. And WTH, where'd my spell check button go?

I stole borrowed this from Mommy Wants Vodka, and thought now that the new year is firmly in place, it could be time to look back on the last one. So here goes. I'll at least answer the ones I can remember. Cuz, you know, this is a lot of questions.

1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before?

Nothing, Man how lame.....Oh wait, I went out on a date for New Years Eve. That counts right?

2. Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

I kept some, and of course lowered my standards for this year. Not so many.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?

Nope.

4. Did anyone close to you die?

Nope, and I feel very blessed for that.

5. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?

More money, a sex  love life.

6. What countries did you visit?

*snort* none, I have never been out of the country. Unless you count the area I visit when I go see my son, but that's more like a totally different planet.

7. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why:

The date we went to court to find out that we did get to have a hearing: November 24.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Ummmmm, I'll have to get back to you on that one.......

9. What was your biggest failure?

I would totally have to go with the drain incident.

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?

None. I take it back. I was sick once at the very first part of the year with food poisoning. Remember the peanut butter? Yeah? It was all recalled? Yeah, I had some of that.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
My van.

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
Mine. I did not threaten or kill my ex.

My ex. I cannot believe that people would actually behave like him on purpose.

14. Where did most of your money go?
Court costs, trips down south, my cats.

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?

I thought my son would be coming home before the end of 2009. Bummer, it did not happen-story of my life.

16. What song will always remind you of 2009?

She's Country by Jason Aldean. I just love that song. And I'm a redneck girl. I even wear flannel shirts to work with my dress pants. Mostly just to annoy everyone.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
i. happier or sadder? Happier

ii. thinner or fatter?    Thinner - Man I love sayin' that.

Dishes.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Well, I already spent Christmas. I was driving. With my mom.

21. There was no #21. I don’t know why there was no 21.
I’ll make up my own question here, then. Hmmm.
Name one random thing that people would be surprised to know about you.

I don't like to put things away. Well, the people that know me wouldn't be surprised. I don't mind washing dishes or washing/drying/folding the laundry. But they will stay in the drainer or laundry basket til I need it again. I don't put things away.

22. Did you fall in love in 2009?

Not a chance, unless you count with me.

Ummm. Nope the only one I hate, I hated the year before.

26. What was the best book you read?

Book three of Dean Koontz' Frankenstien

I have no idea. Although music related, I did meet the truck drivers for Brad Paisley. That was neat, they were on their way to Tennessee for the Music Awards.

28. What did you want and get?

Laid.  Oh, can't say that, mom might be reading. Let's say.......a new to me van.

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

To go with the flow. It doesn't do much good to rail at the life you have. Either change it or live with it.

40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I don't have any idea. It would have to be a song about never giving up hope. Cuz that's what I'm all about.

So the rest of the meme calls for tagging, which I don’t do because I’m not popular enough to know that many people, so rather than tag you, I’m going to tag YOU to answer this meme on your blog OR in the comments.
