Well, with a new year comes new resolutions. I am dead set on sticking to mine this year, as I usually don't!

Here are mine:

  • Walk the dog AT LEAST 4 times per week (for my benefit, and hers!)
  • Control my temper (I let it flare up excessively, and then stress myself out)
  • Get straight A's this semester
  • And most importantly: RIDE MORE THAN LAST YEAR! (Shouldn't be too hard!!!)

A little history on my resolutions:

Ever since moving back to Rhode Island from Iowa, my dog has been cooped up in our little apartment, stuck on a leash every time she wants to go outside. She's put on weight and her nails are getting way too long. So not only will she get out and get more exercise if I walk her, but it will save us the difficulty of trying to trim her nails. PLUS, I could really use the exercise myself. and we live in a really hilly neighborhood.

I've come to the conclusion, and Rooster has pointed out to me on numerous occasions, that I have a serious temper problem and I always let even the smallest things get to me, and I flip out. From now on I'm going to keep my cool and really think things through before flipping out.

I am going to the Community College of Rhode Island starting January 17th for an Associates in Business Management, with a specialization in Accounting. It is my goal to study my butt off and get straight A's, not only this semester, but all semesters.

And finally, last year I hardly got to ride and I had just purchased a 2005 TTR125. But, with the move from Iowa to Rhode Island and a wedding all in one year...it made it difficult to get out. Rooster and I have made it a point to make sure that, once the weather is cooperative, get out and ride AT LEAST once a weekend, if not more. :ride:

So...what are your New Years Resolutions?

Have a great 2006 everyone!!! :aj:

I guess it's important to have a clear picture of everything while flipping out :laugh:

Sorry to bust your chops I just couldn't resist, so please don't flip out on me. :rotfl:

Now for my serious post. In 2006 I resolve to:
  • Maintain my focus on improving my fitness.
  • Improve my photoshop skills.
  • Broaden my Photography skills by shooting something other than MX.

Thanks for pointing that out Chili... :laugh: I guess I should read my posts thoroughly and make sure they make sense, before posting!
