1. What did you do in 2008 that you’d never done before?
Went to Disney World.
2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
I actually can't think of anyone. This blows my mind because there was a bit of a streak going there in the previous years.

I am happy to report no to this, as we were having a streak with this too prior to 2008.
5. What countries did you visit?
Canada, England, Mexico, China, France, Germany, Japan, .... Oh, you mean NOT at EPCOT? Then just the good ol' US of A.
