Posted by beth on January 3, 2009

Happy New Year! I trust that you all had a good, safe, happy, Guitar Hero-filled holiday season. I’ve been trying to think of something brilliant to say about 2008, but having come up with nothing, here’s a list of what I did with those 52 weeks.

• items returned to Target: at least 30 (and I’ve already returned one thing in 2009)
• blog posts: 213
• times served as a bridesmaid: 3
• marriage proposals from Donald Miller: 0
• trips outside of the country: 1
• trips to the Washington, DC area: 3
• number of miles walked in DC: 21
• amount of money raised for breast cancer research, prevention and education: $5,400 (Go Rack Pack!!)
• haircuts: 1
• cellular minutes used: approximately 20,000
• (number of DAYS on the phone: 14)
• boyfriends: 1
• roommates: 3.5
• weddings attended: 9?
• months survived just barely: 1
• houses painted: 1.5
• times I cringed at “Baby, Baby”: too many
• shows and concerts attended: 8?
• books read: 6 – Is that it?! That’s pathetic. And depressing. (New Year’s resolution: read more)
• Sundays in church: 51 probably

Stay tuned for an oh-so-scientific projection of what’s to come in 2009!
