jenni_blogI got this meme from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kiwirazzi, and thought it was a great one. However, my answers are terribly boring because nothing much happened to me this year. However, it's worth looking over and responding to if someone else has had an eventful year.
And may I say it now: Happy New Year everyone!
1. What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?
I can't think of anything. It was in 2010 that I did some new things.
2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I did keep some resolutions, such as eating healthier, and will probably make some more for the coming year.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
No. In 2010, yes.
4. Did anyone close to you die?
Yes, my husband's close friend's wife died on December 20th, of cancer that she had been fighting for a few years.
5. What countries did you visit?
None. That was in 2010.
6. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011?
More money and more energy.
7. What date from 2011 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
There weren't any really memorable dates.
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Nothing. This was what I call a 'coasting year'.
9. What was your biggest failure?
Nothing. Okay, maybe not being able to 'reach' my daughter.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Nothing major.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
Nothing of note.
12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
Probably Sean's...he's made great inroads in reading and is responding much better to people.
13. Whose behaviour made you appalled and depressed?
Nobody's. Okay, maybe my daughter's.
14. Where did most of your money go?
On the basic necessities and a few gifts to others.
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Nothing much.
16. What song will always remind you of 2011?
'Olentzero'. It came late in the year, but I will never forget it.
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
I. Happier or sadder? sadder
II. Thinner or fatter? fatter
III. Richer or poorer? poorer
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
Spending quality time with the people I love.
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Wasting my time on stuff that doesn't matter.
20. How will you be spending Christmas?
Quietly, with immediate family.
21. Did you fall in love in 2011?
No.
22. How many one-night stands?
none
23. What was your favorite TV program?
It was a toss-up between Breaking Bad and the Big Bang Theory.
24. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
No.

The Song of Ice and Fire series by GRR Martin
26. What was your greatest musical discovery?
I didn't discover anyone.
27. What did you want and get?
Nothing of note.
28. What did you want and not get?
Nothing, really.
29. What was your favourite film of this year?
I didn't see any new films this year.
20. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
My husband and I were supposed to go for dinner at his golf club restaurant, but instead, I went with my son's gf and her mother to co-sign for their new apartment . Both of them started college in the city and decided to rent an apartment close to the school. By the time I got home it was too late to go out, and my son had bought some take away Chinese food instead for us.
31. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
If my daughter could have found happiness.
32. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2011?
Classic and stylish.

My husband and our talks.

Janet. My mom. My dad.
37. Who was the best new person you met?
Sean's new teacher.

Learn to be happy with what you have.
39. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
From 'Dreams' by The Cranberries:
"All my life
Is changing every day
In every possible way"
And:
"Then I open up and see
The person failing here is me".
That about sums it up. :/
