I’ve never moved out on my own before. I also haven’t posed with a movie poster even when I was a teenager – but I did when I watched Twilight

DID YOU KEEP YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS?
Some of them yes. I actually was good last year. I hit 4 out of the six goals I made for myself.

Yes! With my age, a lot of friends and acquaintances are settling down and starting a family. Most are even working on baby number 2

We survived moving out on our own and I finally was able to quit my job after five years! Let us hope it will not take another 5 years to quit the one I’m working on right now. LOL

WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST FAILURE?
Not losing weight, forever and ever.

Yes. Ironically, the whole time I had Maxicare I was never hospitalized but three months after resigning from work, I had dengue!
