Okay here goes
1. Get rid of baggage (ie. husband)
2. Work on going to school and sticking with it
3. travel as much as I can afford since I'll have less baggage
4. Spend as much time with family and friends that I can
5. Meet new friends and see what sparks!
Hopefully 1 out of the 5 I can accomplish by 2005. Let's keep the fingers crossed that it's more the one.
A thru-hike? Are you looking for a hiking partner?Originally posted by The Irish One
Hike John Muir Trail
1) Improve the job situation, either here or somewhere else.
2) AICP - already did the first part of the registration.
3) Take more vacations, especially to places I have not been.
I don't usually make resolutions, but for some reason I am this year:
1) Finish work on the house - no more procrastinating!
2) Drop 10 pounds
3) Continue to eat healthy, less meat more veggies
4) Create a life, or at least practice lots with Mrs. Tranplanner
Gonna be a big year I think.
1. Lose at leat 25, primarily by cutting out the sweets (as my mouth is now filled with chocolate). This needs to be my number one priority. If I don't change my ways, the Big D WILL arriive (with diabetes rampant in both sides of my family, my addiction to sweets is seriously dangerous)
2. Spend less. I have enough folk art already, darn it. My collecting bug is expensive
3. Continue my city hikes, with more bicycling as the season arrives this Spring (which usually begins in February here
4. Join a good recreational cycling club-to encourage 3.
5. Replace the wallboard in my living room from where it was damaged by leaks last year.
I'm amazed at the number of males here that are concerned about losing weight for the new year. So much for that being a "woman's type of thing."

- have more patience
A person who strives is one who thrives. It's GREAT to be THE KING!!!
I herefore highly resolve:
To continue to think of new and nefarious ways to dishonor the sabbath of APA/AICP;
To finish the kitchen in its totality before allowing Mrs. Gedunker to start ANY new projects for me;
To welcome the new administration with no fewer than 25 Zoning NOV letters -- better now than in four years; and,
To slack harder.
I have seen
old ships sailing
like swans asleep
I gave up on resolutions the moment I realized that I never actually get any of them done, no matter how well intentioned they were.
That being said, I want to accomplish several 12 hour solo and team mountain bike races this year. That's about it actually.
Oh! how can i forget! become a good dad. That's actually highest on the list.
You're more boring than you know.
My 2004 resolutions are:
1. Must lose at least 15 more pounds;
2. Be nicer to people;
3. Actively search and obtain new job;
4. Work on getting rid of debt;
5. Move to a warmer climate; and
6. Take more pictures.
I'm surprised nobody said that one of their resolutions was to reduce the number of kittens they inadvertantly kill.
