New Years Resolutions…

Posted under How I See It by Mike

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I vow to sit and watch the entire “Girls Gone Wild” series in one sitting.
(I need to make sure my daughters are not participating, really!)

 

I vow to spend more quality time with my family.

(Which means less time blogging.  Uh oh!)

 

I vow to get the gym more often this year.

(Gravity is not going to get the best of me)

 

I promise to no longer spend foolishly on cheap wine and cigars.

(Just cheap women, just kidding, my wife is not cheap)

 

I resolve to backup my blog often and locally.

(Because rebuilding your site is a pain in the ass)

 

I swear to support Weaslmomma in her pursuits of the perfect margarita.

(And that her hubby finds work soon)

 

I resolve to continue following M at Movin Down the Road and her new guy in her life.

(Not like I’m trying to stalk her or anything, honest!)

 

I promise to follow KT as she continues rebuilding her relationship with her husband.

(As someone who’s been there, I am in complete awe and inspired)

 

I’m determined to continue reading about Anne at Under the Red Tin Roof.  I enjoy her storytelling.

(I really need to work on my storytelling)

 

I promise to hit up Oh Captain for some poker help. 

(I’ve got some poker buddies that need to be taken down a notch or two)

 

I will follow in the mold of Teri who seems to take her running very seriously.

(I on the other hand don’t take anything too seriously)

 

I pledge to follow in the footsteps of Worried Dad and be more concerned with the world around us.

(But I’m still leaving the blog worrying to him)

 

I swear to continue my following of NukeDad and his hilarious family.

(Because we all need a good laugh at the end/beginning of the day)

 

I promise to follow Cocotte who also has three teenagers in her to deal with.

(She knows how I’m feeling…)

 

I will continue to follow Matt at MattDaddy as we approach baseball season in a few months.

(The Halos need to avoid the BoSox in the playoffs this year, damn it!)

 

I will continue to read Tara because she writes with insightfulness and charm.

(I on the other hand am lucky to string two sentences together)

 

I will continue to tag along with Mrs. 4444 at Half Past Kissin Time and her writings of school and her students.

(I married a teacher and need all the help I can understanding how they think!)

 

I will follow Debbie and I Overcooked the Family and marvel at her delicious recipes.

(We’d starve to death; I need all the help I can in the kitchen since the wife is still on crutches)

 

I will continue to reading Tom at Being Michael’s Daddy and marvel at fatherhood a second time around.

(And maybe send him sympathy card)

 

I will undertake the task of following Joe and Above Average Joe as he continues to be a great single father to his two kids.

(Been there, done that and I admire those parents without spouses who take their responsibility as parents seriously)

 

I resolve to reconnect with many of you that I have lost in my rebuilding. 

(Please be patient as I try to find and reconnect with you)

 

Happy New Year…

  1. terri Said,

    These goals are in no particular order, right? Because I would be worried if your top priority for the year were to watch the entire Girls Gone Wild series.

    Seriously though, you have some great resolutions in there. Good luck and Happy New Year!

  3. OhCaptain Said,

    You got poker help any time you need it. And if you need someone to double check your work on the girls gone wild videos, I could double check them for you. Seems like admirable work :-)

    OhCaptain’s last blog post..Happy New Year!

  4. Weaselmomma Said,

    Great list! Try this recipe on. Cabo, fresh squeezed juice, rocks, salt optional. You have set the bar high for this year, if you have trouble juggling it all, I suggest that you blog about it constantly!

  5. Cocotte Said,

    I’m honored! I’m trying to motivate myself about the whole gym scene too. I always manage to find something better to do.

    Happy New Year.

  7. NukeDad Said,

    Thanks for the shout out, Mike! I’ll do my best to keep you laughing through ’09. Shouldn’t be hard with 3 kids, 3 dogs and 2 new BB (airsoft) guns.

  8. Mike Said,

    Teri – I’m a guy, those are my priorities…

    Daysgoby – Happy New Year as well..

    OhCaptain – Thanks for the offer. Look me up when you need to warm up here in California…

    Weaselmomma – The salt is never optional…

    Cocotte – Way too easy to be blogging than going to the gym…

    Matt – Looking forward to Spring Training…

    NukeDad – Just make sure the guns are not pointed at you…
