2013 YEAR END REVIEW
What did you do in 2013 that you'd never done before?
I got engaged?!?!?!
Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Sort of. OK, that's almost a total lie, I didn't really keep my 2013 resolution. But yes! I made one for this year to eat more vegetables because seriously. I'm surprised I don't have scurvy at this point.
Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not super close, but one of my old friends from high school. And I've held the kid. IT WAS PRETTY WEIRD.
Did anyone close to you die?
Nope.
What countries did you visit?
I went to Germany for a week, and spent a disappointing few hours in Canada.
What would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013?
Dunno. More energy, probably. Menergy.
What dates from 2013 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
August 10th - when Evan proposed. And 9/21, 9/28, 10/26, and 11/3 --- because we went to weddings ON ALL THOSE DAYS.
What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Going out into the field for my job!
What was your biggest failure?
I feel like there was a LOT of stuff I didn't get done.
Did you suffer illness or injury?
Besides the typical stigmata, not really.

Evan and I bought two new TVs and a Roku, all of which are AWESOME.
Whose behavior merited celebration?
Oh lord. Everyone who puts up with me on a daily basis.
Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Probably far too many people.
Where did most of your money go?
Rent and gas.
What did you get really, really, really excited about?
My Germany trip!
What song will always remind you of 2013?
Blurred Lines... mostly because of watching the video with everyone in my office and laughing hysterically.
Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? Happier!

Exercised just a little bit more.
What do you wish you'd done less of?
Sat on the couch just a little bit less. (BUT ONLY A LITTLE)
Did you fall in love in 2013?
Already in love, so... no.

Ten pounds to magically fall off my body.

Uhhh. idk.

Jeans, shirts, cardigans, and Converse.

Quote a song that sums up your year:
MY MIND'S TELLIN' ME NOOOOOO. BUT MY BODY. MY BODY'S TELLIN' ME YEEEEEESSSSSSSSS.
I've decided this year's motto is going to be... 2014: WHY THE HELL NOT?
