With 2009 quickly approaching, it's that time of year where everyone is looking forward, making goals and aspirations for the next 12 months. But how can we so easily forget about good old 2008? For me, 2008 was my best year yet! I thought it might be fun to look back on all the memories and accomplishments of the last year.
Today's Assignment: Celebrate 2008!I know how you folks are a bunch o' list-makers out there, so let's try it one last time this year. I want you to make a list of all the wonderful things that you've done or have happened to you in the last 12 months. It could be events you attended or awards you received or priceless moments that will help you recall 2008 with great fondness. Or maybe even silly things that might seem trivial to someone else! (e.g. Buying a Wii is totally on my list!) Either way, the more items, the more smiles you'll find!
Here's mine:
started the year at a party with some great friends • got some great new music • bought a Wii • board game party at Kay's where we made a bunch of new friends • Superbowl party • got a small check after I found one of my graphics was stolen • had some etsy luck with my Valentine's items • met two new people because of those items and they became some of our closest friends • celebrated 7 years together with Rob • Christina's birthday party • pathetic Darrin's Dance Groovin' with Kay and Crystal • Indie Rock Prom • my coolest hair ever • planning the rooms of my new home • the Philadelphia Film Festival • Sorted 10 Year Anniversary • saw the most beautiful rainbow ever • we got our house! • celebrated two years married to Rob • Conor Oberst at the Troc • Nada Surf at the Troc • Superdrag at Johnny Brenda's • Ben Folds at the Mann • Flight of the Conchords at the Tower • CYHSY at the Barbary • Karaoke Obscura • Strongmen • Kay's birthday party • First Fridays with friends • Operation NICE begins! • Rob's birthday • Crystal's birthday with some awesome karaoke • Maria's visit including Making Time • new glasses • my birthday • 10 year high school reunion • Operation NICE in the Philly Inquirer • Operation NICE in Daily Candy • the Collingswood Book Festival • a stranger stopped me to tell me I was the "coolest looking person at the farmer's market" • Operation NICE on Good Morning America • First Friday and sushi • Halloween at Making Time (with Hercules and Love Affair) • Obama! • Rock Band Party • neighborhood food drive • decorating for Christmas • melissahead in 1000 Handmade Greetings • fondue • parties in Princeton • Holiday Soirée • I'm a good citizen • a wonderful Christmas with family
I breezed through my blogs to see if I could get everything, but I'm sure I missed a bunch of great moments. It's nearly in chronological order, except I couldn't remember all the concerts I saw, so I just sort of threw them in the middle. Like I said, this was definitely my favorite year ever! I owe a lot of that to our new friends (and old friends) and the start of this site. I'm really looking forward to what 2009 has in store!
