2008 Blog Challenge

Well, I haven't scrapped in months, but I still lurk over at ScrapFreak, and here's a challenge I can still do. Answer these questions for 2008. If you do it on your blog, be sure to leave a comment so I can check it out.

1. Will you be looking for a new job?
Aw, heck no. I just got a promotion and a raise. It wouldn't be nice to leave now.

2. What will you do different in '08?
Um, try not to fall down so much?

3. New Year's Resolution(s)?
Lose weight, of course. This time it is mandated by the doctor. I've been thinking of doing hip hop abs.

4. Any trips planned?
See #2 ... I never plan to trip. OH. Um, yes, to Indiana to see my new nephew, once he breaks out. Mike wants to go to Gatlinburg. I'd love to go to a Beaches resort.

5. Wedding plans?
Beau and Tara are getting hitched in September and Mike is officiating.

6. Baby plans?
See #4. A nephew and a (probable) niece are on the way.

7. Major thing on your calendar?
Well, I can't find a calendar like I had last year. It had the dates down the side and then five columns, which I used for each member of my family (the pets had to share a column). Once I find a calendar, it will be full of kid activities and church meetings.

8. What can't you wait for?
Jesus to come back. No guarantees it will be in 2008, but I'm praying.

9. What would you like to see happen different?
Not sure how this is different from #2 unless its hoping for something out of my control. And I like to be in control.

10. What about yourself will you be changing?
See #3, my weight.

11. What happened in '07 that you didn’t think would ever happen?
I will say that the year passed much faster than expected. I can't believe we moved here OVER a year ago.

12. Will you be nicer to the people you care about?
I couldn't possibly BE any nicer, are you kidding?!

13. Will you dress differently in '08 than you did in '07?
Well, I hope to buy smaller clothes. Seems like brown is the new black. Purple is back in. I bought really high heels for this winter.

14. Will you better your relationship with your family?
Good gravy. See #12. I'm perfect!

15. Will you do volunteer work?
Yes, through church, work, and just on our own. Visiting the homeless shelter was really eye opening.

16. Do you expect '08 to be a good year for you?
No, it will probably be awful :P Of course! It is going to be our best year ever!

17. How much did you change from this time last year til now?
I'm definitely a Virginia driver. All those differences I blogged about (twice) don't seem like such a big deal anymore. I did just notice another one as we drove back from Indiana though ... there are fewer stars in the sky here.

18. Will you still be friends with the same people you are friends with now?
No. I plan to alienate them all.

19. Major lifestyle changes?
We plan to stop living out of boxes.

20. Will you be moving?
See #19. We're still not done from the last one.

21. What will you make sure doesn't happen in '08 that happened in '07?
See #2 & #20. No trips or moves.
