On New Year’s Day 2009, I posted a blog entry<\/a> that reviewed some of the highlights of 2008, and listed a few expected goals and milestones for 2009. So now, a year later, it’s time to review what I said I’d accomplish in 2009:<\/p>\n

– organize and enjoy a local inaugural ball<\/strong><\/p>\n

FAIL!<\/strong> We weren’t able to generate enough ticket sales to put on the local inaugural ball that we had in mind. We did instead enjoy a more intimate neighborhood fest<\/a>, and enjoyed the inaugural activities on TV.<\/p>\n

– run a Half-Marathon and a Triathalon<\/strong><\/p>\n

PARTIAL WIN!<\/strong> I did in fact run a half-marathon<\/a> in 2009, with a personal best time of 2:10. And I even ran my second Marathon<\/a>, last October in Baltimore. But I failed on the challenge of competing in our local neighborhood Traithalon<\/a>. The swim portion really intimidates me. I was determined to carry this goal over to 2010, but the event has been cancelled by my POA, a decision I regret and opposed.<\/p>\n

– paint the kitchen<\/strong><\/p>\n

WIN!<\/strong> Completed in November, so I pushed it as far as I could, but in the end got it done<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– take a trip home to Huntington Beach, CA this summer<\/strong><\/p>\n

WIN!<\/strong> We had a wonderful two-week trip home<\/a> in August.<\/p>\n

– send my oldest child off to college<\/strong><\/p>\n

WIN!<\/strong> Katie began at UMW in August<\/a> and has completed her first semester with straight A’s.<\/p>\n

All in all, pretty good. I guess most of those were easily predictable events, but still, we did them. Time to give some thought to what I’d like to accomplish in 2010. More on that later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
