Still Kickin...

Bought my first house. Grew a full beard.

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Didn't make any last year, but going to the gym starting Monday. The guys at work know I want to do it and I'm going to the gym they go to, so I'm sure they'll keep me on it.

My pseudo-seester Holly had her second. My brain is not triggering on anyone else.

Staying out of serious debt?

Getting friends to pay back money they owe me. :-(

My TV and surround sound system. The house could use some improvements.

Don't skip reboots to keep long uptimes. Use a newer virus scanner. My home PC got PWNT by some MalWare and a virus on the 28th/29th and I spent the rest of the year fixing it. Still trying to get programs taken care of, but not going too far since I want to upgrade from Windows 2000 to XP (not touching Vista) for security's sake.

38. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
