I'm not signing my name in blood over any of this. But it would be good if I tried...nay, worked on some of these things over the next year. I've been slacking off. And eating a lot of holiday sweets. And, soon, I'll have to go back into work.

It was a bad weekend for my sports teams, so I should stop taking them so seriously. Or trying to hit the opposing team with mind bullets through the TV.

I'm at the top of my weight range (not to say I couldn't get heavier), and I need to get back down closer to 170. A new lunch routine? More fruit? A night or two off drinks? Fewer late night snacks? Find a job where I'm not sitting on my ass eight hours a day? More exercise?

I started off my "burning the vacation days" days running until I couldn't run anymore. Which wasn't far. But then, in the last few weeks, it got nasty and cold out there. So no running going into the new year.

Get into it!

More gigs! More recording! More new songs! Yes, Full Speed Veronica will find a way.

If the economy is truly getting better (and stocks are certainly optimistic today), then I should be able to find another job. Why? Because, other than getting paid, I'm not sure what my current position is doing for me at all.

Change! Spare change? Real change!

Maybe work on that writing project I didn't get into much over my breaks? Yep, maybe.

Is there any romance left in the world?

A bit of traveling. And maybe find a way to use my passport before I have to renew it.

New investing ideas! Buy! Sell! Hold! And those other things...

There are many other things I could list (oh yeah, no more big car expenses...that would be nice, just after I fix my windshield), but it's so early in the year. And cold outside. My brain isn't so nifty this morning.

So last, but not least, try not to wait until Sunday morning when I turn my computer on to figure out what to write about.

Y'know, planning. At least a note or two. That's what I've got sticky notes for!

Have a great 2011.
