My New Years Resolutions

Here we are, Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006. It's time for us to look at the new year as a new slate, a time to start over and a time to try to break the bad habits that we have acquired of the past year, or in my case.. the past 31 years and 4 1/2 months.

1) Save Money

Quit eating out so much and start cooking at home.

2) Get Out Of Debt

Get on a better path to financial recovery after my unemployment (Nov 2004 - April 2005).

3) Lose Weight

Be able to wear the clothes in my closet and not buy any more (see # 1).

4) End PackRat Syndrome

Get my apartment unpacked and sorted, go home for a weekend and go thru my closets and storage shed, and then have a garage sale, sell old clothes to consignment stores, and donate the rest.

5) Get Healthy

Find a new doctor who is willing to treat my condition (Arnold Chiari) and not just treat my umpteen different symptoms with twice as many different medications. (Also see # 1, $340 in prescriptions per month is a little much)

6) TV Doesn't Count

Although I have been very good about watching either Joel Osteen or Kerry Shook every Sunday morning on TV, it doesn't really count as going to church. I need to change that. Unfortunately, the two churches I would really like to go to are in Houston. 5 hours is a little far to drive for church.

7) Catch Up

I was born 10 days late and I have spent the past 31 years and 4 1/2 months trying to catch up. This year needs to be the year I get there.

8) School

Go back to school and get closer to finishing my culinary degree. Get homework done in a timely manner and not at the last minute. (See # 7).
