Happy New Year!

So, a new year begins. Sans hangover. I have no resolutions, just a list of things I hope to accomplish. Here they are in no particular order:

1. Save at least $6,000.
2. Get back in shape. This one shouldn't be so hard. My old gym, New York San Da (www.nysanda.com), asked me back to be an instructor. I'll be teaching heavy bag classes, resistance training, and cardio classes. Did I mention it's a martial arts gym? The kickboxing team has won all sorts of awards. So bring your glove and wraps. For the guys, don't forget your cups!
3. Be nicer at work. This may be hard since I work for a micromanager and got NO RAISE this year.
4. Put a nice dent in my reading list. It's gotten so long, I had to computerize it.
5. Convince Chris that's it's OK to eat broccoli. He has this aversion to anything green.
6. Get more people to leave comments on this blog. It's not doing so well in that department, save for Chris (shesanicegirl.blogspot.com) and Tom (mrsparklet.blogspot.com), my fellow bloggers.
7. Get out to volunteer more. I'm in the process of signing up for another Habitat for Humanity (www.habitat.org) build. So far I've been to New Zealand, Poland, and Hawaii. This build in September will be in Pititsi (Pea-tesht), Romania. It will be my first in almost two-and-a-half years. Hawaii, although absolutely fabulous, is only good enough for perfect vacations. Don't go there expecting to get any work done. Because you won't.

What do you hope to accomplish in 2006? So far, Chris is volunteering in Mississippi and Tom gets to finally cut into his med school cadaver.
