Overall – it truly was a fantastic year. One for the record books. I even got to use my passport twice! There were low spots – like when I had one friend move far away…but high ones too, like getting closer (metaphorically speaking) to other friends – like you. You know who you are…my little internet-never-met-in-flesh-and-blood-buddies. So before I start dreaming about what is to come in oh-nine, I wanna make sure you know that all of you dear lovely friends helped make my oh-eight one of the best years yet. And I hope that you have a fun (like a fat kid in a chocolate factory amount of fun) and safe New Year’s Eve!
See ya in 2009! Peace out 08!
Love it – this list is so cute. And whatever, you did not gain 20 pounds.
Emily…I do not lie.
I may cheat.
I have been known to physically harm my friends & enemies alike.
I may even be ridiculously lazy.
But I do NOT lie.
I weighed 131 last December. I got on the scale this morning and it reads 151. That is twenty pounds of what I am guessing is peanut m&m's. It may be a tad of baklava or Italian creme cake. But mostly candy.
Hopefully next year my list will read – "I lost 20 lbs made of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, cream, butter, syrup, and granulated sugar" 🙂

And hopefully there will be a Captain Obvious post about me dropping 30 next year.
Here’s to out with the old (2008) and in with the new…hopefully 2009 will be a bit better all the way around.
P.S. Your word verification is “bless”…a sign perhaps?
Maybe not…the next word verification is “torch”…he he 🙂
Have a great new years!
I love how your blogging strengthened throughout the year! 🙂
Looks like there were more good times in 08 than bad times–what more can a girl ask for? Happy New Year sweetie!
Wow that sounds like a busy year. And a couples “halo” tournament? Oh my.
