New Years declaration

Over the last couple days, as I fight this really yucky cold, I am thinking 2 things.

a) I think I need to make a "bucket list" or at least a "getter done in 2010" list. Some of the things I want to put on it you ask? Well....

1. Go to Europe :-)
2. Go to a beach w/Christian
3. Clean the interior upholstery of the car
4. See the new Harry Potter flick ( too bad I lost my HP movie viewing buddy :-( )
5. Go to Austria some New Years ( not this year, obviously)
6. Start savings account to take Christian to Disney before age 14
7. Go skiing in Colorado :-) Yup, I really haven't done that yet :-(
8. Go ski diving
9. Climb Pikes Peak again... at least to Barr Camp, but would like to get to the apex once
10. Jog the incline
11. Go camping in Rocky Mountain National State Park

There may be more, but I'll start there for now.

The second thing on my mind was something that always appears there after most visits back to MD, well... at least as of 2 years ago. This thing is the apparent need to press on a personal bruise. I think the new decade may persuade me to discontinue this emotionally painful and debilitating process and direct these energies elsewhere. Boy I hope so. ( I'm probably not alone in that wish) But that hope piece is a pisser.

I have to accept some responsibility as I am too inhibited to say things that I want to say at the times that maybe I should say them, but.... like many Americians, I defer total responsibility. :-) It's easier to offer food to someone if they drop the hint that they are hungry, right? Someone offered the wise statement, "if something was gonna happen it would have happened already". Yup. There it is. Truth. Ugh !!!!!

You don't need to be told what is being said so loud in silence. It's nice however, to know that I'm not the only one stubborn enough to want to be told. :-) Thanks BM !!!

So 2010, here's to good times, good friends and good memories. Let's make them wonderful!!!!

But if we could address the good health portion sooner rather than later.......... :-)

I feel like I need a map, compass, and decoder ring to get through the last part.

That's correct. You do need those things.

But you need to purchase Super Soper points on your Big Ass Internet cafe channel for the Wii in order to get those items. Bummer man :-)

( PS Christian is using the Wii points card to get some games for the system.... hence the inspiration for this totally asinine reply. :-)
