Why are you giving me that QUIZZICAL look?

My friend, Fig, did this quiz on her blog and I thought I would do the same. Mostly just for something to blog about. By the way, we did have a slammin' good time in Monroe with K, J, and the Minivan Clan, and the Fosters over Christmas, however, I'm retarded and left my camera at their house. Thus, no pix for y'all {and by y'all, I mean all 4 of you} to gawk at. Please accept the answers to this quiz as my sincerest apologies for being a blog slacker.

1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before? Ran 3 whole miles without stopping {some may scoff at that, but it actually is an accomplishment that I am very proud of}; did a mini triathlon and ran in the Ragnar Wasatch Back Relay; ate at Taco Cabana 3 times in about 24 hours; saw my super hot hubby in his 8th grade basketball uniform {I'm still laughing}; played matchmaker; went to my first real nursing conference; AND watched drill team competitions. I'm sure there's more, but this is going to take a while for y'all to read.

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Probably not. I didn't write any down. This year, there will be goals, not resolutions. That way if I only get half way there, I will hopefully still feel like I accomplished something.
