2008 Ritchie’s year in review
I’m glad 2008 is over! It has been the busiest year in my natural existence. Let me recount the major events that have happened in my life this year and the lessons I’ve learned.
- First comes love… then comes marriage, then comes Ritchie in a … well, not quite yet. This was the year that I got married. How’s that for life altering?
- After a year of school and working for myself, I rejoined the workforce. Not just that, I came back to my old job with more responsibility (and work). At least they promoted me.
- It seemed like I was going to a wedding every single month. I’m not quite sure why that was. Looking back at my finances, I think I spent more on wedding presents than birthday gifts this year.
- Archie got himself a girlfriend! I know this is my year in review, but when one of your good friends finally finds someone (after a very long hiatus). You’re happy for them.
- I went to Las Vegas for the first time.
- I went to Paris and Italy! Good food, good shopping, and nice people. What more can you want on a honeymoon? Oh yea, your wife!
And here are some things from my 2009 goal’s list (nothing like “Go on a date with Jennifer Aniston“).
- More me time. More me and Cheryl time. More me and Family time.
- No more phone buying (for 2009); I am resolving NOT to buy a new phone for 2009. People who know me will understand that this will be VERY hard for me.
- Less work, more success
- Have more fun, make time to enjoy and appreciate
Alright, your turn… in 2009 I will ___________.

I will:
- run a 10k (or at least think about running a 10k)
- buy more online (support companies that I actually believe in and to spite the b&m chain stores that don’t have any selection and uninspired products as evidenced on boxing day)
- learn more (read books, travel, etc)
- be prepared for the 2010 olympics (by having travel plans to escape while they are here, a year in advance)
I’m sure that I’ll be “inspired” later tonight and this list will balloon to unfeasible proportions as lists of goals ultimately always end up like.
i have blogged something similar, but i will add one more to the list that i didn’t blog over there: drink more water! i need to get back to drinking the 2-3 litres that I used to
ps. you need to blog more!
