Exciting news today, The Qoddess has returned and started doing her Question Of the Day in the blogging world.
I'm one of the original QODsters, participating in daily emails sent out by Qoddess. She would generate a list of questions ranging from the mundane to the absurd. As answers rolled in she would forward them out so everyone could enjoy the goofy responses.
It's been fun being part of this circle and I've missed these questions quite a bit. She's asking that you pass on the link to your friends and come back every day to answer the newest set of questions.

2009 In Review
Despite putting 2009 quickly behind me, I filled out the following questionnaire about the past year. I stole the questions from Stacie's Madness:
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before? Nothing new comes to mind. A whole lot of the same ol same ol.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don't make resolutions
3. How will you be spending New Year's Eve? NYE 2009 will be spent like twenty years preceding it - hanging out with my friends
4. Did anyone close to you die? No one close to ME died, but hubby's best friend died a few weeks ago
5. What countries did you visit? Didn't leave the country, barely left the COUNTY except for the trip to Oklahoma
6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009? I lacked weight loss in 2009 and would very dearly like to have that happen in significant ways in 2010. And stay that way.
7. What date from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Significant date - Sept 26. The day I got married. Hard to forget because it was the SAME date that I got married the first time. Weird, I know.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? Biggest accomplishment - getting married.
9. What was your biggest failure? Keeping in contact with existing friends and family
10. Did you suffer illness or injury? nothing big, just a hacking cough that I've had for the last 3 weeks. Bigger news is that I got my first ever flu shot this year. My employer succumbed to dire warnings of swine flu and issued near-mandates for everyone to get shots.
11. What was the best thing you bought? NEW CAR! Awesome 2009 Maxima!
12. Where did most of your money go? A lot of large purchases occurred this year - furniture, fridge, computer, car. Just doing our part to keep the economy rolling.
13. What song will always remind you of 2009? Not sure. Probably something from Black Eyed Peas
14. What do you wish you'd done more of? Hang out with friends
15. What do you wish you'd done less of? Play on Facebook
16. What was your favourite TV program? Weeds. I finally got to watch True Blood and I liked that a lot too.
17. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? I don't hate anyone. There are certain people that could fall off the face of the earth, making my life a lot easier, but I don't hate.
18. What was the best book you read? Silent On the Moor by Deanna Raybourn
19. What was your greatest musical discovery? Hell I don't know. Probably connecting the iPod to the car stereo and having a multiple CD player. Damn fine inventions.
20. What was your favorite film of this year? That is a really hard call since we got Netflix this year and I'm watching all sorts of movies out the wazzoo. One we really enjoyed, though, as Role Models.
21. What did you do on your birthday? On my birthday we went out to eat. Nothing spectacular. Which is a shame. People really should make more of a fuss. July 28th. Mark it on your calendars. You barely have seven months to prepare.
22. What kept you sane? Blogging, reading other people's blogs. Seriously. This is a fun pastime for me. Not very productive, but fun.
23. Who did you miss? Friends Vicki and Melinda. Glad we could connect on facebook, but need to see each other in person. Live.
24. Who was the best new person you met? Terry. Very interesting woman. She's the mom of the guy who died a few weeks ago.
25. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009: Just reinforcement of old lessons, especially the ones I try to preach. Life does like to kick us in the ass and remind when we're getting too big for our britches.
