My gift to you is a batch of cookies. Enjoy!

2008 was a long and crappy year and I'm happy to see the back of it. I'm greatly looking forward to a better 2009. Here's a long list of resolutions that I may or may not acheive:

1.) Eat healthier, exercise more, save money and quite smoking. - Incidently, these are the top 4 resolutions for everybody.

2.) Be nice. - I wear a rubber band on my wrist to remind myself to be nicer. I wish this wasn't necessary, but maybe it is.

3.) Climb Mt. Marcy - Who's with me?

4.) Buy an apartment - You have to sleep somewhere, right?

5.) Find or invent the ultimate blog, picture software - It's my endless struggle.

6.) Learn Spanish - I am starting to weaken for those Rosetta Stone commercials.

7.) Read more - I used to be a voracious reader and then lost the habit due to solitaire and Texas Hold 'Em on my smart phone. I need to kick those addictions.

8.) Blog more (with better photos)

9.) Get up earlier

10.) Work harder - It's a recession, I need to turn around my company's stock price or I may be on the couch full time playing video games.

11.) Play less video games

12.) Attend more live events

13.) Visit a doctor - I haven't seen a doctor since 2003. For all I know my cholesterol is an excellent bowling score.

14.) Finally, find a new 3rd project (with work and sleeping being the other two). I used to write fiction. I've also done some hobby programming. I need to find something similar to obsess over or I go nuts.

What are your resolutions?
