2. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before? got married :)
3. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year? the goal for 2009 was to streamline and simplify. haha, we managed to do that with not a moment to spare in 2009 ;) didn't make any resolutions for this year so I don't feel guilty when I break them.

15. Whose behaviour merited celebration? everyone's!

25. Did you fall in love in 2009? of course. I'll always be in love with noah.
26. How many one-night stands? zip.
27. What was your favourite TV program? CSI NY - and then we canceled our cable in august and there is no more tv for us.
