Married In Ohio

Happy New Year everyone. Like many other bloggers, I thought the first post of the year would be a good occasion to list my resolutions for the upcoming year.

1. Have oral sex with California Girl every time she trims her pubic hair. I’ve had this one on my list for several years, including last year.
2. Get to a point where I can stop worrying about my weight. I hover at the upper end of the “ideal range”. I’d like to lose enough so that gaining a couple of pounds won’t affect which zone I’m in.
3. Get more money. The Boy will be starting college soon and we are so not ready for it financially. I don’t know what else this means yet but I know that status quo will not suffice.
4. Do better at the “homeowner thing”. I didn’t always cut the grass as frequently as I should have; especially in late spring and early fall when the kids were busy with sports.
5. Live large. Party hearty. This one is periodically on my list. Some times I become too focused on work and other things to enjoy life like I should. There’s always another job but I’ve only got one family.

Today is also a good time to see how I did with last year’s resolutions. Here’s what they were and how I did.

1. Have oral sex with California Girl every time she trims her pubic hair. I’ve had this one on my list for several years. I can’t ever seem to do it every time but I’m trying. I did pretty well at this one. Not every time; but, of course, there were plenty of occasions in-between trims.
2. Lose the two pounds that I gained over the Christmas holidays. I did much better than last year when I gained like 10 pounds in the two weeks I was off. But it’s easy to let the extra pounds sneak up on you. I accomplished this one. Unfortunately, this year’s holiday season has not been good to me weight wise, so I’ve once again I’ve got 10 pounds to lose.
3. Find a new job that pays better and has good job security. This is probably on everyone’s list these days, especially in the field that I’m in. I’m still with the same company. But, there were a lot of changes (mostly for the better) so I am pretty happy where I am.
4. Find all of the things that have been “misplaced” around the house over the last year and put them back where they belong. Not much to this one. I like being neat and well organized so things I can’t find annoy me. We accomplished this one. We found our floating heads (passports) and just about everything else that was lost. And we reorganized everything so that things are easier to find.
5. Try to have as good of a summer as the summer of 2005. Last summer was one for the ages. It’s probably the best summer our family has ever had, and one the children will remember for a long time. The summer was not as perfect as the summer of 2005. That was a time that we will remember for ever. But, we went on the best family vacation ever. And the girl had a fabulous birthday party.
