Last year at about this time, I did a roundup of posts from the year. But since we had the blog issue in the summer and lost 3 months of posts, I can’t quite do that. So instead, I present a quick year in review in the House of Garrett. Please note that this post is being written while we are both on the sofa, in our pajamas and watching Maury.
The Good:
- Bought a house
- Erik made me a desk
- I turned 30 and the world did not end
- Brought home Stanley
- Started The Neatery with my best friends
- Two year anniversary since our wedding guests got to meet Spiderman
- Did the 3-Day
The Bad
- Said goodbye to Holly
- Lost my job
The Ugly
- All of the gross things that Stanley did
- Martha Stewart got my name wrong
- No new episodes of 24 except for the “movie” which does not count because Chloe was not in it
- Devil squirrel
- Erik saw a snake
- Meat panties
- The X-Files movie was seriously an abomination of film
Looking to 2009:
- Erik will turn 30!
- Stanley will complete his obedience training!
- 24 returns!
- I will get a job! Right?
Post your 2008 highlights/2009 resolutions in the comments. Tonight, we are going to celebrate by drinking half a beer and letting the dog get on the bed.
Great year in review. I guess I can just visit this same week every year and then get caught up on all things Garrett?!? Hope you guys are doing well. No BS – January 09 we’re getting together. The 3.2 miles distance will no longer be a barrier!
BTW – the desk E made makes the front of my pants grow. . .
i feel pretty bad that 2 of the uglys are Hoech induced. Our resolution is to try harder at not stinking up your year.
1. I hope “letting the dog get on the bed” is a euphemism for something dirty.
2. I resolve to never wear meat panties.
3. The Fitz New Year’s Rockin’ Eve consisted of me getting home from work at 9 pm pissed off, us struggling to stay awake in front of the TV, and giving up around 11:30. We woke up at midnight to the sound of firecrackers in the street, wished each other HNY, and fell back asleep. A party for the ages. Literally.
4. Happy New Year House of Garrett!
Dana left out an important detail RE #3. After waking up, there was some HOTT rolling over before falling back asleep.
I don’t remember that part.
