i haven't been doing sit ups and push ups. I've been lazy.
the lost symbol is done...and it was awesome. now i'm reading strong fathers, strong daughters and full steam ahead. i have to read the latter for work...so i haven't decided if it counts.
I am down another 2.4 lbs, so that's good.
We have a visitor coming over tomorrow. A blast from the past that i'm not sure I'm that excited about. It's been a long time. it will dredge up a lot of memories that I'm not sure I'm ready to face. I'm sure it'll be okay, I'm just a little uneasy.
back up to 14 hrs in the etb bank. 26 more to go. just 3.25 more pay periods. i can swing that.

Updates on the To Do List:
I had to eat into my etb bank so now I'm down to 6 from 16. Unfortunately, Sydney has had some fussiness problems which has prevented mama from getting any sleep. After several days of this, the Daddy Cavalry had to ride in to help out. Syd had her well check yesterday. She's up to 9lb 7oz and Doc had us change to the GentleEase formula. That seems to have helped so far.
I'm very near done with The Lost Symbol. That book's great. Dan Brown's best in my opinion. Since I'm aiming for a book a month and Palin's book is pretty thick, I may read a smaller book so I can hit my 2 before starting hers. I'm not sure. We'll see.
I bought a 1 TB hard drive for $90. Now I have to get the data dumped onto it.
I went off the grid yesterday. Ate pizza. It's all good. I'm back on the horse today. I can have slips from time to time. No big deal. I DO, however, need to get into an exercise routine. Sarah and Dan have our Wii Fit, I have no gym membership, no treadmill, no weights...yet. So, I've decided to just start with the standard sit ups and push ups.
Push ups per day: 40
Sit ups per day: 30
Gonna make it happen.

2010 To Do List
So, I hate New Years resolutions. To me they're empty promises to "be a better person" or "start anew in the new year". Bollocks. I think a person should be in constant pursuit of improvement and refreshment of the soul, etc. Now, that's not to say that a person shouldn't make goals for themselves. So I've created a To Do List for 2010. These are just small goals I want to accomplish throughout the year. They're not lofty life-changers like, "I'll lose weight, quit smoking and read more". These are specific goals and mile markers that I'll either acheive or not. So far, I've gotten a pretty good start.
1. Read at least one book per month. (at least 4 from the Must Read List for men) - I'm about halfway through The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. My next book will be Going Rogue (or Going Rouge if you're Chris Cuomo) by Sarah Palin.
6. Get down to 215 # - I signed up for WeightWatchers for men online and I'm down 5 lbs in my first week. Not bad.
12. Back up all data to external HD and organize. - I've priced out external hard drives and I'll be picking one up within a couple weeks.
16. Organize (or make sure someone organizes) Guy’s Night at least 7 times. - I'm in the process of contacting the guys for a guy's night out currently.
19. Build up a 40 hr ETB cushion - I've got 16 hrs.
There are 23 items on the list, so I'm only scratching the surface...but that's what this is all about. Setting goals and moving toward them. Not life-changing "resolutions".
