oh yeah…

i forgot a somewhat annual tradition…

…my annual plans. kind of a resolution sixer. from what people tell me, it’s good to have goals…so here are a few of mine for the year i’ve set for myself:

1. less of me to love – this, i admit, is cliche’ as shit…but i’d really like to see a “1” at the beginning of my weight. i know the whole fat versus muscle thing, and while i’m not “fat” per se, i could stand to drop a chunk and tone…twenty-six pounds stand between me and this goal – hopefully amputation won’t prove necessary.

2. get the dough right – sue me, i’d like to get to get my finances a LOT more stable this year. i think i can do this. or so i keep telling myself. hey, i’m still under forty, so man-whoring isn’t TOTALLY off the table, right? especially if i reach the first one on the list…

3. celebrate cop’s “X” in style – yes, miss copper turns ten (according to the best guesstimation – since i adopted her as an adult to real telling here) and i’d like to do something cool for her. i always guessed her to be around valentine’s day, which would be the only reason i’d celebrate that awful day anyway. suggestions? speaking of…

4. celebrate lil’ dude’s first one in style – now we’re looking at mid-july, when he’ll turn one. was seven pounds at six weeks old when i got him, and around FIFTY-seven pounds around six months old. wonder where he’ll be in a year? and i guess if i’m doing both of these, i might as well…

5. celebrate my fortieth in style – the question i’m still plagued with…to do the ‘teenth que at harold’s in north austin (have to stay sober, but DON’T have to clean) or back here at my place (reverse previous comment in parenthesis)….decisions, decisions.

6. own less of lockhart – right now i technically only own ONE house, but realistically own one and a HALF as uncle arturo has handed over grandma’s old place to me and teri, and we wanna ditch this bitch but fast…i need it to happen to cover a new ride at the least, so hopefully we can do this BEFORE number five kicks in.

so there we go – less weight, more money, and a few parties to pencil into your calendar – let’s try and make 2kXI a good one, eh?
