So, how did I do with last year’s resolutions for 2007<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\n

\n

Spend at least as much time with Kitten<\/strong>. Preferably more \u201cquality time\u201d \u2014 getting her involved with stuff at home, and being more involved in some of her other activities. She\u2019s growing up into a fine young lady that I want<\/em> to spend time with.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well, something that was already in the works last year, but which came into fruition in 2007, was the whole karate thing.  That’s been a lot of fun, and good exercise, but most importantly it’s something we’ve been able to share.<\/p>\n

Beyond that — I keep trying.  I’m going to call this a hit<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

Keep the house in a bit more order<\/strong> \u2014 a bit tidier, pursue projects and maintenance a bit more diligently, etc. This is going to mean (gasp) maybe doing a bit less of other activities. These sorts of things work better as routine, so I need to figure out how to do that in a flexible fashion.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We finished up some big projects, but I don’t know that our overall “organization” has gotten any better.  Gotta deem this a miss<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

Write. Edit. Write<\/strong>. Yeah, yeah. Need to think of some good strategies here, though, that don\u2019t involved Daily Stuff \u2014 because my Daily Stuff queue is pretty much full.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Near zilcho in the writing department.  I’ve been hit-or-miss on the 100 Words stuff, and I set up a special blog to cover things, but it’s just been (despite a novel bubbling in the back of my brain) something I’ve simply not taken the time or energy to pursue.  A disappointing miss<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n

Be fit<\/strong>. Keep the weight off, exercise more, and walk 1,500 miles to nowhere. Heck, how\u2019s this \u2014 drop down to 185 by the end of the year. There\u2019s an (un-)stretch goal for you! Or, more precisely, for me<\/em>. But one I believe I can reach.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n

I actually hit my 1,500 miles to nowhere, and in the last few days of the year.  After a very lackadaisical spring and summer, I (ahem) hit my stride and caught up with that.<\/p>\n

I also seriously started exercising more (and stretching), via my karate class begun in February.<\/p>\n

As to the weight …<\/p>\n

Well, the good news is, I did actually get down to below 195 or so in March.  The bad news is, I’ve not been at all diligent about tracking my weight, though still trying to maintain a modicum of good habits (but further hampered by losing my Geek Diet technical platform).  Which means, my 31 December end-of-the-year weigh-in was …. 210 (approximately).<\/p>\n

Hrm.<\/p>\n

I’m going to call this a hit<\/em>, if only because I feel like I’m more fit than I was, though I can also feel the pounds regaining. <\/p>\n

And, lest I forget, this addendum<\/a> resolution:<\/p>\n

\n

And, it should go without saying (but I say it nonetheless) that I resolve to be the bestest partner, lover, hubby and friend to Margie, the most wonderful woman in the world.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well, I’ve certainly given that one the ol’ college try, and she keeps telling me I’m doing it, so I have to trust her (admittedly biased) judgment and call this a hit<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So — 3-2, in favor of hits (or even 2.5-2.5 if we split the Fitness one).  That’s not too bad.<\/p>\n

Now … what about next year …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
