New Year's Resolusmas List

After being asked a million times (twice) what I wanted for Christmas and seeing how many bloggers were cranking out New Year's resolutions, I decided to make a New Year's Resolusmas List.

  1. Get my shit together in 2010.  This includes, but is not limited to:
    1. Creating a family budget.  And I mean a good one.  We are talking cash forecasting for the year and savings goals.  I am a nerdo accountant, it was only a matter of time before I started depreciating my furniture.
    2. Invest in and track a stock for the hell of it.  Something cheap...we'll see what happens.  This is the way Warren Buffet started, you know.
    3. Be better at family, specifically the family members that don't receive a slap on the ass from me every morning.
    4. No B's in the final semester of my MBA.  All A's, period...A-'s are accepted here, also.
  2. A Fiesta Bowl victory for my Boise State Broncos.  I realize that we are touchdown underdogs, and TCU probably belongs in the National Championship, but I'm orange and blue..
  3. Drink less booze, but more Scrumpy Jack.  Scrumpy Jack is a delightful cider that Katie and I enjoyed in England last January.  I know, less booze, then more booze...here is an illustration.  This year I drank 567 alcoholic beverages, and 10 Scrumpy Jacks.  2010's numbers will be 565 alcoholic beverages, and 39 Scrumpy Jacks.
  4. I would like to keep having a job, cuz times is rough.
  5. I would like for local jewelry stores to stop advertising "Romantic and Economic stimulus plans".  Number one, jewelry is not romantic, it is showing someone your feelings in terms of dollars.  Dollars are not romantic.  Number two, for every person that can actually afford to buy his or her significant other jewelry, there are three that buy it on credit.  If you can't pay for it with cash, you can't afford it.  I hate you, jewelry store commercials.
  6. I want to run the Race to Robie Creek again this year.  Toughest half marathon in the NW.  Kicked my ass in 2008, is gonna kick my ass in 2010.
  7. I want Katie and I to take our lazy asses to the A Mind's Eye, and get our wedding ring tattoos already.  Seriously...
  8. Finally, I want world peace.  It sounds cheesy, but I am pretty tired of death counts, stories of cops getting iced in coffee shops, and uncovering mass graves in people's backyards.  Find a hobby...puzzles are nice...and peaceful.
That is all.  I'm out like a boner in sweatpants.

PS.  A full length Drake album would be outstanding, also.

Now I'm done.

  1. Sounds like a good plan to me. However maybe cut the alchoholic beverages to 300.

  2. That number is purely hypothetical. In reality, it could already be 300...or it could be 1,000. Let's focus on the trend, not the numbers...
