How to get ready for Ike.
It took me
3 weeks
It made me
Crazy!

How I did it: I finally got everything out of my house and -- TA DA! -- got electricity back a week after the hurricane. I haven't yet replaced all the food we lost in the hurricane, but I got the old stuff cleaned out, so that is something, right? Read how I did it…

ride a bike to work
But first ... 2 months ago

I need to get a bike. I’ve been riding a stationary bike at the gym, but am looking for a bike to ride around the neighborhood and, eventually, to work. Right now, I only live about five miles from work, so the task of riding a bike there isn’t too daunting and if it is too hot in the afternoon to ride home again, the city buses have bike racks on front.

eat so much at thanksgiving/christmas that you can’t button your pants anymore
It's not that I am unwilling... 6 months ago

But if you need help accomplishing this goal, you need more help than I can give.

once a month, read one of the books I have acquired, but never gotten around to reading. (read all 27 entries…)
December 2008 -- Vanity Fair 6 months ago

I wrapped up 2008 with about 20 pounds that has been crowding my shelves for gosh knows how long. This book is hefty; I am considering keeping it beside my bed permanently in case someone breaks in—I am almost sure it would be a lethal weapon if launched at someone’s head. As far as literature, it is a lethal weapon, as well. Not mind-bending by 21st century standards, although I am sure it bent a few minds 200 years ago, but still, it stands the test of time. It did not feel like a more-than-800-pages-long book. Very readable.

So I was only partially successful with this goal in 2008, but that’s OK. I’m all set for 2009!
