You can play here

1. What was the best thing that happened to you personally in 2008?

Alot of different things happened that were good. Having Harley's test results come back negative for any type of illnesses was a great thing. Meeting all of my bloggy friends this past year has been a blessing.


2. What was the worst thing that happened to you personally in 2008?

When Harley got sick and we didn't know what was wrong with him. Also, it isn't me personally, but my sister not feeling well this year has made me very sad. I hate to see anyone I love suffer. I feel helpless because there is nothing that I can do for her besides be there for her. Also, being laid off for two weeks during Christmas & New Years was kinda sucky..especially being told 4 days before. But I won't go there again. LOL

3. What was the best thing to happen to all of us in 2008?

An election that promises that George W. Bush won't be our President for too much longer.

4. What was the worst thing to happen to all of us in 2008?

The economy crisis I think has affected all of us.

5. What was the best gift you received during the ’08 holidays?

Alot of wonderful things from DVDs of the shows that I love like LOST, Family Guy, According to Jim, and a show that people in the tri-state area know about...The Magic Garden. Has anyone ever heard of the show or seen it? It was on in the 1970s. Other gifts that I loved that I received was an Elvis travel mug and a beautiful angel holding a cat Willow Tree Angel statue entitled "I Love Our Friendship", from Sue (plus other beautiful gifts).


6. What was the best gift (most appropriate or best received) you gave during the ’08 holidays?

The most appropriate gift I gave was to my friend (and nail lady) Joyce. The backstory is that she is a born again Christian who lives a chaotic life. She is overwhelmed because she works 2 jobs, does alot of volunteering for her church and takes care of her kids and house while her husband is away on business 3 weeks out of a month. She loves to read the Bible in what little spare time she has. So I found her a bible study book on Amazon (God I love that store) called "The Frazzled Female: Finding God's Peace In Your Daily Chaos".

7. Do you have any regrets about what you did in 2008?

No I don't like to live with regrets. I feel everything happens for a reason.

8. Do you have any regrets about what you didn’t do in 2008?

See #7

9. Did you meet anyone that became important to you in 2008?

Yes, I sure did. I made alot of wonderful friendships this year through blogging. All of my regular readers that I correspond through blogland with are very dear to me. But, I have formed a very special friendship outside blogland with Sue. God knew I needed to find a friend like her! She is such a blessing to me, she is an angel of a friend. I am so very thankful for our friendship. You all can't imagine how alike we really are! She has a heart of gold, a love for family and a love for animals. I wish we lived a little closer. Luckily we aren't that far away. So meeting her was very special for my 2008 for sure.
