1. Best Daily Activity: My job at Common Sense Media. Great co-workers, free CDs and movie screenings, interviewing Rob Pattinson, never getting bored: priceless!
2. Best Deal: My New Apartment. Gorgeous scenic location, cool roomies, easy access to the people and places I love, and finally my own space, all at an affordable price!
3. Best Furniture-Yes, it is worthy of it's own "best". This year I finally "graduated" to a full-sized bed and for the first time in my life am sleeping on a brand new bed that I absolutely love (not to mention my new puff pillows)
4. Best Experience in Nature: Swimming with Whale Sharks-- AMAZING! Only every mouse-practice-playing child and scuba divers dream--it was exhilarating: jumping in and swimming with the biggest fish in the sea in beautiful Holbox, Mexico.
5. Best Music Discovery: KASKADE and a whole new world of dance-meets-classy electronic music. Be Still My Soul.
6. Best Movie of 2008: (drum roll please, this was a difficult decision)...Slumdog Millioniare! Why? Because while very intense and tragic at times, it weaves a seamless story of culture, love, hope, poverty, and reality into a powerful film that not only leaves you breathless, but sparks deep conversation and contemplation about the world and people in it.
7. Best Money Spent: My 1st Massage and excellent SPA experience at the JW Marriott in Cancun. If I only I could have stayed there forever, aaaaaaaah!
8. My Best Photo of the Year (or at least my favorite!):
9. Best Party: It's was a very close call between the creative planning for Sarah's Bachelorette Party (and my notorious Unifornication CD) and Jodee's Surprise 2-5--but perhaps since the memories are fresher, I'm going to have to go with Jode's. True, she wasn't really surprised due to a series of events linked to my handwriting and Archie: co-conspirators against secretive fun, but we had some of the best decorations, drinks, and fun times thanks to a collaborative effort between friends--hearts!
10. Best Dog: Of this year and ever: Archibald Malvolio Baldeagie Rumpledearkins is the cutest little pup I know and he makes every year a good one!
Horray for a great year-- I'm one lucky gal! Cheers to more firsts and fun in 2009!
