New Years Resolutions

Yep...it's that time again. It's time to make those many resolutions that most of us won't keep for more than a couple of days. There is always the lost weight resolution...if I had a penny for everyone who had that as their resolution...

Anyhow, I guess I will start thinking of mine, so here it goes...

1. Exercise more (I need to for my heart as well as to be not so darn fat)


2. Learn to knit


3. Learn to crochet
   
4. Read at least 20 more books on the BBC Big Read list of 200 books everyone should read.


5. Hopefully decide what the heck to do and go back to work (that has a lot of factors that are well beyond my control as well, but here's hoping)
   
6. Visit somewhere outside of Florida (though it'll be hard to top visiting Ashley and Chris in Hawai'i...going back would be nice...otherwise somewhere I have never been).

Ok...I think those are enough resolutions for the new year thus far. There are a few biggies, so I'll stick with that for now. 2009 has really sucked (except for the trip to see one of my favorite cousins and the better cardiologist appointment), so here's hoping 2010 will be better. It seems that you keep thinking to yourself, "well, it has to get better at some point, but then something else happens and it just sucks even more." It doesn't look like I'm ever going to win this one apparently.

Here's a look back at some very happy moments in 2009...
