As promised, here is an image.. nothing interesting today to photograph, so I created a New Year's vector image, and I am sharing a photo of myself that I took last week.
Now, we are going to answer a few questions. The answers will tell you a little more about my past, and well, my hopes of the future ;-) Please let me know what you think, or even post your own responses!
Remembrance of 2012
1.
What was your greatest achievement in 2012?
In 2012, I think one of my greatest achievements was making international news with some of my photographs that I took while working at the Animal Emergency Center. You can find these images by searching for “Bella Mae the Bulldog – Porcupine Attack.”

What was the smartest decision you made last year?
My smartest decision last year was to put extra money into savings. I was able to save enough for several car payments until I can find a new job in New York.

If your life in 2012 was made into a movie, what genre would it
be?
My life would probably be a dramatic comedy, and well, in some parts tragic. Working at my previous place of employment definitely added into the combination.

What was the greatest lesson you learned last year?
When working in group-projects, always count on extra work. Unfortunately I had a group project for Advanced Web Design and out of the 5 people in the group only 2 of us participated. We had to create an entire mall website in 3 weeks!

What is your biggest piece of unfinished business from 2012?
I have two pieces of unfinished business from 2012. My first is finding a new job (hopefully something that will last), and my second is losing the weight I so very much want to lose! (By the way I did manage to lose 15 lbs.! Go Me!).

What are you most happy about completing last year?
Getting to meet and spend time with my adorable nephew, and moving out of Oklahoma. Oklahoma was a dreadful place, and now that we live in New York, it is like a little stress has been lifted from my shoulders.
