December resolutions

Rather than wait an entire month to make resolutions, I decided to make some now, and if I accomplish them before 2004 is history, so much the better. There are just too many dangling threads in my life that I must try to weave back into the tapestry.

1. I will finally reach my goal weight of 180 lbs. My weight has stagnated around 190 lbs. for weeks. Die, love handles, die!
2. I will increase my neck circumference by at least one inch. I bought myself a neck harness to facilitate this endeavor. (Well, since none of my pants fit, now I have to make sure none of my dress shirts fit either.)
3. I will finish remodeling my master bedroom. Thanks to the fiasco of trying to order a bed from California, I have let this project languish for too long. For example, sage velveteen curtains remain balled-up in my closet because I wanted to match the wood finish of the curtain rod to the bed, etc., etc. I finally ordered a different bed from a different company (product shot below); it does not have a walnut finish as I originally wanted, but I like it.

   

4. I will learn PHP. I attended a week-long class taught by David Sklar, but such classes become worthless and are quickly forgotten if not followed up with a project that practically applies that newly acquired knowledge. My personal web site will be such a project.
5. I will get my LASIK surgery retreated. I already paid for it. I am guaranteed satisfaction. However, the disruptive effects that the post-surgery recovery time would have on my life have encouraged my procrastination.
6. I will move on with my love life, closing old doors and opening up new ones.
