Things to work on in 2005

Not resolutions really, just reminders to myself.

- Don't drink so damn much soda or you'll gain 60 pounds and be an enormous whale for your 10th college reunion.
- If you cleaned a little every day instead of waiting until the house was a sty and trying to do it all on the weekends, you might actually enjoy your weekends.
- One game of Candyland or Hi Ho Cherry-oh might be painful, but won't actually kill you.
- Hiring a babysitter could be a very good thing.
- Bringing lunch to work once in a while might actually save you a load of cash. And if you quit buying mochas too you could save $50 a week. Enough for a babysitter and a movie!
- Putting the laundry away after you fold it might be painful, but won't actually kill you. Plus, you won't have to walk around naked in the cold house in the morning wondering which basket might have clean underpants.
- A budget and Quicken - messy bills and accounts make you crazy and you know it.
- Try to decide on a name before the kid is born.
- Clean out the garage. Please. I'm begging you.
