Year in Review: 2009

1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before? Vacationed in Cancun. Floated down the Delaware river on an inner tube. Hiked to top of Angel Island. Grew huge cabbage and cauliflower in my garden.
2. Did anyone close to you give birth? Nope.
3. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009? More time to do what I want. New windows (on the house, not the computer).
4. What dates from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Night spent in scary hotel in Tulum where we hardly slept, but woke early, drove to the beach and watched the sun rise. Almost dying on the Delaware rive with Sara and Jason. Waking early to run in Vancouver. Dec 6th
5. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Training the dog to run along side me off leash; painting the kitchen green
6. What was your biggest failure? Not finishing projects I started. Gaining weight. My garden. Camping.
7. What was the best thing you bought? New kitchen counter tops, although I didn’t technically “buy” them. Italian dinner in Little Italy
8. Where did most of your money go? House payments (duh)
9. What did you get really, really, really excited about? Cooking. Indian food. Running. Push-ups (the fact that I can finally do them again now the the wrist is healed). Happy hour.

Past years: 2006, 2007 and 2008.
