Watch me
I'm way late to the New Years Resolution boat, but I've been out of town and such so I take a pass.

Last year's:
*Get my CHS: Accomplished! I'm now a super-elite Immunogenetics assassin.
*Tend the Gakuen: Not so accomplished! I didn't successfully publish ANYTHING. But I did just renew the domain name until 2012, so surely that counts for something...?
*Keep running: Accomplished, ish! I moved away from high-impact, which is better for my knees (and no matter the distance, I never, ever got a runner's high... I mostly just thought "Man, it'll feel good when you stop running). I lost a happy amount of weight and feel pretty good.
*Use More Vacation Time: Accomplished! Went to Greece! That kicked ass.

For 2009:
*Spiffy up the house
This includes, hopefully, refinancing. (Which will depend a lot on what my house can appraise for now in this shitty market. But damn the rates are AMAZING.) I'm currently on a cleaning spree trying to get things nice-ified before my next trip to St Louis... once I actually LIVE here again, I have some improvements to dive into. Like installing new closet doors, redecorating my bedroom, and adding some more effing shelves to the Room of Shame.
*Keep off the weight
America's favorite perennial resolution! I gained a few pounds back during and after my vacation-time, so I'm back on the diet as of this week and intend to get back into better shape. My company just got a group-rate at 24 Hour, so I'm definitely getting in on that (but again, waiting until I live in Denver again).
*Really, Seriously Consider a car
I'm notorious for being anti-instant-gratification. I stretch big decisions out for-ever. (And I always eat the cereal marshmallows last.) But Shiro-kun is getting up in the years and the miles, and I need to at least have options if he dies. Perhaps I can make a list. I love lists.
*Use More Vacation Time
Definitely want to continue this one, because it keeps me sane. My parents want to take a family vacation in the fall, and let's not forget the "OMG What do you mean D*C and NDK are 3 days apart" madness. After Big Lab Project is completed (and before Next Big Lab Project starts), I think I'll take a little time off just to sit around and drink tea all day. #^_^#

Celine and I are considering another out of state convention, but Expo is silly, so we're thinking about Dragon*Con.. maybe... we'll see >..>

I love my little cruiser, but I'm sad to announce that next year will be the last year they make them! I'm tempted to trade mine in for a new model and have factory warranty all over again, even though nothing has gone wrong with my current cruiser yet :X (I get teased, because it's still under 20,000 miles and it's like a 2002 model. lawl) I don't suppose that cruisers are all that great when you're swerving around steep, ice-filled mountain passes...

But if you like the smell of your own farts, you should totally get a hybrid! When the cruiser dies in like 300 years or whatever, I'm seriously considering replacing it with a hybrid :P

D*C was pretty darned awesome and full of ADULTS who DRINK and don't hassle you for hugs and hit each other with yaoi paddles. Even the cops know you're just there to drink like a nerd. ^_^

I'd definitely like to get a hybrid... and not just because my farts smell like appleblossom breeze.

Room of shame! My Virgo fingers are itching to clean the crap out of that place with you. Do a Virgo proud! I still think that you need to decorate in green tea and sakura colors, not only because it would look pretty and be very very you, but also because the idea of you with a Sailor Jupiter colored room cracks me up. ^_^
