Checking in on those New Year's Resolutions

I'm not going to lie, I'm failing miserably on my New Year's Resolutions.  This really shouldn't be much of a surprise as I've never been a fan of resolutions anyway.

I tried really hard with my photography project.  Remember, taking one photograph a day for 365 days.  I was going along just fine taking photos of the Steelers Gnome, but then I just kinda lost interest.  Actually, I'm going to blame the cold weather and stupid Comcast (remember when I had no Internet for days) for my failures at this goal.

As far as the dressing more appropriate for work.  Ha, that's tough one, I'm usually crawling around on the floor in the computer lab installing equipment or dragging cables around to dress nicer at work.  Who knows, maybe I'll have a change of heart on this one and put some effort into it.

Okay, okay enough of the excuses.  Let's really be honest.  My main hang up is my love affair with TV.  I can't get enough of it and it is super easy to sit down on the sofa and just zone out.  I know, I know, this is absolutely terrible.  I really need to adjust my lounging time and make more of an effort at the things that really matter.

We'll see how things go.

I've become one of them

So much for keeping up with daily blogging.  I have no excuse for slacking, sorry gang.  I must admit that I'm failing miserably with my New Year's Resolutions as well.  The only one that I'm truly keeping up is the daily photo of my Steelers Gnome.  However, I'm behind on posting photos on Flickr.  Oh well, at least I'm taking one photo a day.

I really fed up with the cold weather this winter.  For some reason my brain remembers my first year down here (we had a really mild winter) and every year I seem to think that we are having an unseasonably cold winter.  Maybe next winter will be better.

New Year's Resolutions

Steelers Gnome - Day 1 of 365

I've never been a fan of New Year's resolutions and I've never set any resolutions for myself.  So, that brings me to this year.  I've finally decided to make some New Year's resolutions for myself for the upcoming year.  You are probably wondering what the photo above is, so that will be my first topic of my New Year's resolutions:

1. Start a photography project (one photo of the Steelers Gnome a day for 365 days)
2. Do some spring cleaning and get rid of stuff that I don't need anymore
3. Dress more appropriate for work (I usually just wear jeans and a polo for work, not anymore baby)
4. Finish several home projects.

Well, that about does it, I don't think I really want to tackle much more seeing that this is my first year doing this.

I started my photo project early (yesterday), if you would like to watch my progress on this please checkout my photos on Flickr, more specially at Project 365 - Gnome A Day.  Thanks.
