Happy New Year! I hope that everyone had a safe and fun New Year's Day. Rachel and I spent last night on the computer playing games and such. We did not realize that the year had switched until we heard some fireworks outside. Normally, we fall to sleep shortly after midnight. This time, we were up past 3:00 AM watching movies and such. Today was a quiet day. We slept in and watched more movies.

Like the prior years, I will make resolutions for this year. But first, it is time to review last year's resolutions: The first resolution was do follow my exercise routine at least seventy-five percent of the time. With two hundred twenty-two days of exercise last year, I missed my goal by about fifteen percent.

I did better on my second resolution of working on money problems. Now that I am at a better paying job, our debt is finally going back down again. Once Rachel starts working full-time again, we will be in a lot better shape.

This year, I only have one resolution, which is the same as last year: I want to complete my exercise routine at least seventy-five percent of the time.

Tagline for today: "If mini-marts are open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, why do the doors have locks on them?" - Gallagher
