Meme: Year End Reflections

First, The 2008 New Years Eve Photos Have Finally Been Posted! Click Here. Please feel free to comment in Flickr.

Second, I have been tagged by Two People:

  1. Beth “Skipper” @ Moon Rising

I am supposed to embrace the new, and release the old…I have been asked to reflect upon what I did, how I felt, what I liked, what I didn’t, and what I learned.

Okay. Here Goes Nothing.

Nothing. I am what /who I am as a result of my actions and I LIKE who / what I am. (At least for today).

Completed = My very first Employee Self Evaluation.

Released = Most of my possessions.

1. Moving.

2. The births of Mason & Zaibryn.

3. The Passing of A Friend.

My undying love for Alec Baldwin & Feeling like less of an Outsider.

Having Olga for the Holidays & taking her to Work.

The Book Signing.

JCH 11th Birthday.

    Dearest Meleah a very very happy new year. My new year resolution was not to procrastinate or be lazy.
    This said by someone wishing you a three days later….typical 🙂

  2. Meleah says:

    Amber:

    Happy New Years sweetheart. Aw. Well, I know why you are ‘lazy’ these days. Don’t be too hard on yourself. xxoo Miss you. Love You.

  3. Selma says:

    Great meme. You are such a character with your undying love for Alec Baldwin! Hope your reunion goes really well.

  4. Meleah says:

    Selma:

    I REALLY REALLY REALLY Love Alec Baldwin.

  5. Beth says:

    Wonderful job! I know you will have a great 2008-because you want to. And, you know, the moment you stop looking for someone, they show up…

  6. Avery says:

    Have a great time! And a Happy New Year!

    (And I’m right there with you on the moving thing. It sucks!)

  7. leslie says:

    Have fun at your reunion dahlink 🙂

    A fun trip down your blogmemory lane, meleah. I don’t think I’d ever read the NJTP post. And if I did, how could I have forgotten? OMG. Hilarious. And the apple store is totally a trap, isn’t it? I love going in there — the people with those little computers that “ring” up your order and send the receipt to your mac acct. No lines (well unless you’re a dork and try to just walk in to use the genius bar instead of getting an appt. on line…) AND Photoshop Elements is a very good way to start. It familiarizes you with the software and then if you choose, you can go to the big dog. Have fun at your reunion. Too bad Olga couldn’t have gone!

  9. Meleah says:

    Beth:

    This meme took me awhile! Lets HOPE “he” shows up this year.

    Avery:

    🙂

    Leslie:

    I will. (I hope!) xxoo

    KellyPea:

    I cant believe you never read the NJTPK one! HA HA…. Im glad you liked that post. I hate “HER”.

    The Apple Store is my favorite place ON THE PLANET…but I want EVERYTHING IN IT. 🙂

    I am sure I will have a great time tonight….speaking of Olga….hmm… I haven’t mailed her back just yet…maybe? Well, lets just see how my night goes, she MIGHT make an appearance!

  10. dawn says:

    Great answers except…
    What did I do right?

    Need some help??
    single Mom with a great son!
    awesome blogger friend
    and giving me the best laugh of the year when you wrote the NJTP post!!!

    Have a great weekend 🙂

  11. Chefmom says:

    Have a great time at your “reunion”!! I hope it’s like you never lost touch….

  12. Lee says:

    Good job! It’s interesting to see how different people approached this meme. With me it was almost like true confessions. :0) Thanks for sharing.

  13. excellent job ..I have been tagged with this one as well..and it is interesting how different people approach it..none of them wrong ..It gives you a different perspective each time…and damn it all why does Mr. Baldwin have all the fun….:):):)…

  14. Chefmom says:

    I forgot to comment on your post of “JCH’s 11th Birthday” I guess I wasn’t reading your post then. First of all…9 lb 14 oz..???? WOW! I thought my first was big at 9lb 1 oz! They kept telling me my second was going to be much bigger and even though he was born 11 days early he was 8lb. 8 oz. (THANK GOD!!!) Anyway, what a BEAUTIFUL (not yelling, just emphasizing) post and letter. Being a Mommy is an amazing thing. Something I feared for the last month of pregnancy, became this normal, natural thing. I loved this post, I loved going back and reading all your past posts….family reunion (Too funny) Grandma Ev…I love Cafe Press, and I’m going to order a shirt…and other things I missed. Now that I know we the same age and where you went to school, I KNOW we have to know some of the same peeps. So weird!! We have a connection for sure. Okay…shutting up…and Yes, I just drank a Very dirty martini, so I’m very chatty…sorry 😡
    p.s. I can’t wait to hear how your reunion went!

  15. OLLY says:

    YOU GO GIRL!

  16. FV says:

    Let’s see….

    My new years resolution is to never ever get into another relationship. And, since I have only about a year left before I obtain my M.B.A degree I figured to start looking for a high paying job, hopefully a job that pays me a 6 digit number, you never know right?
    Other than that I hope not procrastinate as much as I did last year (2007)

    Happy new Year Meleah
    xoxo

    Dawn:

    Thank you. I guess I needed to be reminded of that

    Chef Mom:

    WE ARE HAVING A GREAT TIME. xxoo (post will be up in a FEW days. xxoo)

    Lee:

    Oooh…true confessions? I MUST come read yours. xxoo

    Robert:

    I cant wait to see / read YOURS. Alec is my Imaginary Husband.

    Chef Mom:

    I just LOVE YOU.

    Thank you for traveling back with me and reading my older posts. You are THE BEST.

    And YES we do have a connection….and I think we MIGHT know the same peeps.

    Being a MOTHER is AMAZING isnt it?

    Olly:

    He he

    FV:

    Thats a GREAT resolution. xxoo
