Fvck you forevah, 2008!

I guess we shouldn't ask STC where he's been all year.

Gracious!

Still lovely to see you, Sac, even when you're stomping a mudhole in 2008's memory.

SacTown Chronic · 01-06-2009, 05:10 PM

Why thank you, Sam.

I am firmly in the no resolutions group, though:

I intend to get a job that I enjoy, regardless the pay. If I enjoy it enough, it will eventually come with its reward.

Actually, I am in a job I enjoy. Even when I find my gripes and groans (usually due to stupidity on my part... even if in small part... I've learned in these past couple of months to try harder to come up with my own solutions, and find compromise, even when it's difficult.)

Quote:

I intend to appreciate the skill set I was blessed with and have worked so hard to maintain. These are vital skills, even if it's not apparent on the surface.

I actually have learned to appreciate my skillz, and have been able to apply them in interesting and unusual ways.

Quote:

I intend to complete a portfolio with writing samples by mid-February.

Yep... that one didn't happen, but that's okay.

Quote:

I intend to learn to be a better snowboarder.

Didn't happen, either. Never could come up with the money or time. However, we are officially taking up snowshoeing with our own gear. We loved it the few times we went, but are tired of renting sub-par gear. Stuff should arrive tomorrow!!

Quote:

I intend to not break any of my boyfriend's bones.

SUCCESS!

Quote:

I intend to go scuba diving this year in Florida.

Went to Florida, but never got around to scuba diving, though we intended to. There was just so much going on. I'm hoping to do it this upcoming September.

Quote:

I intend to get a kitten.

Ha! I don't even remember wanting a kitty, but hey - guess what I gots!

Quote:

I intend to begin searching for a house this summer.

I have been looking, but just haven't felt anything worthy of committing to. I think we'll be doing something over this next year. It's the right time to be in a position to buy.

As for 2009 - no resolutions, really. Just have more fun. I had plenty o' good times and bad in '08, so I should just try to make '09 even better. I mean, why not?

I WILL raise a garden this year.

Plant world, you've been warned.

I'd like to lose the rest of the weight that needs losin', edit my romance novel so it's ready for rejection, find love, and move back to OC.

Not necessarily in that order.

Morrigoon · 01-07-2009, 04:59 AM

I'd like to get married

Disneyphile · 01-07-2009, 10:40 AM

Sac, I think you summed up 2008 perfectly.

I'm going to get a sewing machine this year and at least learn how to hem. Then I can make tablecloths and curtains. For a few years I find myself saying, "I could make that if I had a sewing machine and could sew." 2009, look out! It's sewing year!
