Thursday Thunks: The New Year’s Edition

The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color of ripping this meme off of a Sunday Stealing from 2007 (way back before Judd & syndication when only 3 played) and the number 36936.

1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before?

I finally tried a piece of raw sushi.  I eat the cooked varieties all the time, but I’ve always been a little scared of the raw stuff.  I must say it was pretty darn good.

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

I don’t make them because I know I’d never keep them.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?

My sister had my adorable nephew in June.

4. Did anyone close to you die?

Thankfully we didn’t deal with the loss of any loved ones in 2010.

5. What countries did you visit?

Just my own.

 
6. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010?

Financial stability

7. What dates from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

I honestly can’t say one particular date from this year will stay etched in my memory.  I will have a lot of memories from 2010, but none of them will be attached to particular dates.  Blame it on the fact that I’ve spent this year running off very little sleep and too much coffee.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?

I made it through my first year of motherhood without feeling like a complete failure.

9. What was your biggest failure?

Not patching up my relationship with my sister the way I wanted.

10. What was the best thing you bought?

Honestly I’m not sure.  I didn’t make any big purchases this year.  Because of our financial situation we stuck to only the things that were needed.

 
11. Whose behavior merited celebration?

My own.  Since entered motherhood I’ve learned to bite my tongue more often and pay attention to how I react to situations.  I have to remember I have a pair of little eyes watching my every move.

12. Whose behavior made you appalled and disgusted?

My mother’s, but that’s a story for another day.

13. What song will always remind you of 2010?

Rock-a-bye Baby because I’ve spent many a night this year rocking and singing to my little girl through colic, teething, and just generally rough nights.  The song will always bring back memories of those nights with her.

14. What do you wish you’d done more of?

I wish I’d spent more time snuggling up on the couch with Hubby after the baby was asleep

15. What do you wish you’d done less of?

arguing with my sister

16. Did you fall in love in 2010?

I fell in love with my husband all over again, a new level of love I didn’t know existed, as I watched him grow from my husband to an adoring father.

17. Who did you miss?

I’ve spent a lot of time missing my Grandpa this year even though he passed away when I was 7.  Oh how I wish he’d had the chance to watch me grow from that little girl to the woman I am today with a little girl of my own.

18. Who was the best new person you met?

I really didn’t meet that many new people this year, and of the ones I did meet no one in particular stands out.
