2009 is 5 days old and I really don’t have any concrete resolutions. That is, until now! 
So I thought I would share them. This way, maybe someone out there will hold me accountable.
- Go to sleep earlier: I have lousy sleep habits. They are almost as bad as my eating habits. Basically, I am a night owl. And of course I pay for it in the morning. I think it would be an extremely good lifestyle change to do this. I can only gain from it, right? And it’s not like I go out and stay out late or anything, so I don’t feel I will be losing much. We’ll see how it goes.
- Go to Church: I’m far from being a good Catholic, but I do want to address this. And I am realistic in that I know I don’t have the self-discipline to go to church every Sunday right away. So my goal is to go to mass once a month at the least. I think that will be a good start. Also I need to find a church I like.
- Be nicer to co-workers: Now this one is kind of funny, because I think I am a pretty cool guy to work with. But every now and again someone at work gets to know me and later on tells me how little they thought of me before getting to know me. I don’t know what it is that I do to make people think like this. Maybe I will try to smile more.
- Learn to cook: I can barbecue (a little). And I can cook (very little). I just want to be as good in the kitchen like I am in other rooms in the house. LOL! Yeah! Funny!!… (crickets). Yeah, I know. I’m horrible in bed.
- Finish remodeling my house: I started this task in September of last year. It is a sloooow process. But it’s getting there. I can picture the final result, and it will be nice. I just have to knock it out.
- Lower my cholesterol: It has been steadily dropping every time I check it. So as long as this trend continues, I should be good.
So I figure 6 resolutions is a good start. Can I do this? Yes. Will I do this? Hell if I know. But I’m going to give it the old college try. Good luck on your own resolutions. I better get started…
