2008 in review.
Posted by: Liz at 9:26 pm, December 30th, 2008
I figure that I should probably do a filler post as the ‘last for the year’. I know I wont do it tomorrow — I’m not one of the lucky ones that has time off.
But anyway.
2008 in Summary:
January: Unemployed! I do miss it a little, but I don’t miss the no-money-coming-in thing.
February: Started with LEGO.
March: Spent lots of my pay on aforementioned LEGO.
April: Missed the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Tried to ignore the coverage as much as possible.
May: According to our Google calendars, we wormed the cat. How exciting!
June: We started this blog, and I made the first post. June was also the month our hot water heater and electricity decided it wasn’t going to play fair.
July: I left LEGO and started with the mysterious Alliance.
August: Jarod created the LEGO Olympics. You may say that this should be in Jarod’s summary, but I don’t think you realise how much time, effort and table space was put into this. There was a very valid reason I made him pack the LEGO away at the end of the Olympics.
September: The second annual Train Day occured! Oh, and it was our one year anniversary. Aww.
October: Jarod finally got to meet my parents (lucky him) and I was no longer 21.
November: I got to see Emma finally get married. Through the lens, and all. (www.mrandmrshancock.com).
December: Jarod and I have now lived together for a whole year. And I keep forgetting special anniversaries like that. At least Jarod knows he’s pretty much guaranteed to look good when he remembers a date.
In 2007 I traveled a whole bunch – Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide… and this year kinda sucked that I only got to go to Bathurst, and that’s mainly because I wouldn’t have missed Emma’s wedding for the world. I didn’t get to see all the lovely people I made friends with in all those lovely cities (well, except Brisbane, I don’t call that city lovely), but thanks to the internets I can still say hi.
I have grand plans of going to Melbourne and Perth next year (along with our Brisbane trip for another wedding in Jan), but we’ll see how that goes. Apparently when it’s not a company business trip it costs money and you have to take annual leave. Aww.
Hope everyone has a fantastic New Year.
See you all in 2009.

OMG!!! See you in Perth! When do you hope to be here? And for what reasons? :D

I’d say at some point randomly throughout the second half of the year Antz. It’ll just be for a mini holiday/catchup with flickr people/social visit.
