2009 Review

So I’m copying this off my cousins Blog. This should be interesting. Let’s see what I can remember.



Funnest Event

• Going camping - with the 5th wheel and 4-wheelers
  
• Colorado—all those fun places we went and new places for dinner we tried and didn’t like so much.

Biggest Purchase

• That would have to have been the TV
  
• another doggie

Favorite Movie(s)

• The Proposal—That was absolutely hilarious to Brandon and I
  
• Taken—Awesome this would be all time favorite so far
  
• Eagle Eye—Kind of cheesy but I liked it
  
• 17 Again—Zac Efron is not bad looking

Least Favorite Movie(s)

• Ghost of Girlfriends Past—I really like Matthew McConaughey but kind of tired of all the remakes on the Christmas Carol
  
• Up 3D—We had heard that it would be cute and good, but I think everyone fell asleep, even Shaylee
  

I know there has got to be more than this, but for the life of me I am drawing a blank. Memory failure already starting.

Favorite Celebrity

• Sandra Bullock
  
• Denzel Washington

I enjoy these two because their movies are classy and you don’t see them involved in all the negative press.

Least Favorite Celebrity

• Brittney Spears – Don’t think she really has any talent. Not to mention it seems the only way she can stay in the public eye is through negative press.
  
• Kobe Bryant—I am tired of people like him and Carmelo Anthony being idols to children. (not limited to just these two) I have not seen anything from these men that would be worth the hero worship they get. I believe that celebrities should hold themselves to higher standards than they do. However, it seems to me that celebrities don’t think that laws and morals pertain to them. I think an MVP should be someone on and off the court.
  

Guilty Pleasure

Reading cheesy romance novels.. I know I know terrible isn’t it.

Saddest Moment


Not going there.


Sickest Moment

Ending up in the emergency room a few times for Kidney stones and back problems

Favorite Song(s)

There are a ton of songs out there that I liked. Most songs get overplayed though.

• Body Language- Jesse McCartney
  
• Replay- Iyaz
  
• Already Gone- Kelly Clarkson
  
• Box of Rocks- The Song Trust (if you haven’t heard it check out the video Cutest ever!)
  

Songs I Hated

• What’s my name—seriously that song really needs to like be banned or something
  
• Taylor Swift- I may be shot for this, but give me a break. How hard is it to rerelease the same album? Did you not have any new stuff? The old stuff is way overplayed and wearing on my nerves. I started off liking most of it, but now….. nope not allowed on my radio. Even though Brandon tries to sneak it in every once in awhile.
  
• Blackeyed Peas- what were these songs about? Didn't make sense! Fergies outfits... Come on!

Biggest Surprises


I wouldn’t really say there were too many of those. At least none I remember. Which is a good thing! I have had more than my fair share of surprises to last me a life time. Unless it is a happy one, then I'm all for it.

Achievements

• Learned more about myself
  
• Got involved with a debt relief program

Things I've Learned

• Everybody has their crap and that is okay.
  
• If everyone put their pile of junk into a pile we would all grab our own pile of junk.
  
• Forgiveness is the key to letting go. Why hold on to things? In doing so you are giving up control of yourself.
  
• It is none of my business what you think of me- This has been a hard one for me because I have always wanted to be liked. Which leads to…
  
• Sometimes people will just decide not to like you and that is fine.
  
• Fear will keep you in situations you don’t want to be in.
  
• Potato skins will clog up a garbage disposal.
  

My favorite picture that I took in 2009 was

Didn’t really take any pictures this year that were all that great.


Ugliest picture of me in 2009


Was deleted on the spot.


I am looking forward to:

• Buying a new home
  
• Getting out of debt with the exception of Cars and home

My Hopes (Resolutions) for 2010

• Eat healthier
  
• More home cooked meals
  
• Have healthier and happier relationships

In 1 word (or a couple words) 2009 was: Educational

In 1 word (or a couple words) 2010 will be: challenging

Roll over minutes

Okay so it has what been many many months since I wrote last. I don't even remember when Duke was that small. Now he is big and overly active.

So much has been going on, I don't even know where to start. I know I need to keep this updated a little more. But it has been proven time and again that I am not very consistent at this blogging thing. Just always seem to run out of time.

There are some days when it would be nice to have extra minutes in the day. Then there are those days when you can't wait for them to get over, they just kind of drag on and on and on. Every once in awhile that is nice, but not to often. Or it's just been a plain out bad day and you just want to cut it short and go to bed. This is why I wish we could have roll over minutes.

Wouldn't it be nice to take a day that you just want to end and end it? Go into the next day that doesn't seem long enough and add to it by rolling your minutes over. I mean Sprint has the right idea. If you don't use them roll them over. Wed for example was so slow at work. I wanted to be home, but then Brandon and I weren't exactly agreeing on things so home wasn't all that much better than work. It was my niece's birthday. She would have been six. There were so many different reasons that it would have been best to call it quits. Then those extra minutes I can put into Saturday or something and enjoy my day. Or one of those days where I'm at work till 6:30 and have a ton more to do at home, but never have the time.

K so I may be stretching things a bit far, but come on I am sure I'm not the only one to think this would be a good idea.
