Some Plans for 2006

January 2nd, 2006

Now that 2005 is history, it is time to focus on the new year. I did pretty well with most of my resolutions from last year - I watched a lot less television, and read a lot of books. Unfortunately, I am still smoking those damn cigarettes…

So this year, I plan on accomplishing the following:

1. Quit smoking - definitely by the time I move into my new house, mid-July
2. Keep reading - keeping that TV off (with the exception of Sunday nights, can’t live without my Simpsons, Family Guy, and HBO)
3. Increase my patience level - the number one thing to improve my parenting skills
4. Keep better track of my finances - though I am fed-up with Quicken, and M$FT Money
5. Split my time more efficiently between Hotel Hotline and Best of the Web
6. Become a more conservative driver - I used to be until the purchase of my most recent car
7. Spend more quality time with Lily - remembering that we are a couple, not just parents

Those are the biggies - there are plenty of other things professionally and personally that I’d like to accomplish this calendar year, but in an attempt to not sound too long-winded, I will leave it there. Do you have any plans or resolutions that you wish to share?

Most importantly, I hope that you find peace, health and happiness in the new year.
