Vinnie’s Vlog

1.  Not lose any weight.  – FAILED – Thanks to a lot of eating at home, both Diane and I are at record low weights

2.  No more making fun of smokers.  – FAILED – Numerous posts on the blog ruined this one for me.  And when that idiot flicked a butt from his car onto my windshield last month.

3.  I’m going to resolve to answer the phone, at least once a week, when I see by the caller ID that my inlaws are calling.    – FAILED – I think I was good on this one until Feb. or March.

4.  I’m also going to try an be more politically correct – like not using phrases like “No speaky English”. – FAILED – The doctor that stitched me up after the lizard attack had a Russian accent and I’ve been making fun of her since… “Dee lizzerd beet your feenger?  He is pet?”

5.  I resolve to quit tricking Lily.  – SUCCESS – Only because I can’t get anything past her anymore.

6.  Cheesecake, once a month. – FAILED – Probably the reason I’ve lost weight.

7.  I’m going to try and quit talking to my pets like they are human.   FAILED – The aforementioned lizard and I had a lengthy conversation.  And several choice words were exchanged when he initially bit me.

That’s how much time is left in the year.  I, however, plan to end my year in 9 hours.  Or less.

Front coming through today.  It can’t really decide if it wants to rain or not, mostly just sprinkles.  Nothing measurable.  Lots of clouds, yet the blue breaks through occassionally.  The bad news is that it’s getting cold for the next couple of days.  I think Wed morning should be in the low 30’s.  Same for Thursday morning.

I’m working on my New Year’s Resolutions.  I have to go back and see what I resolved last year.  I don’t think I did very good.   Things are quite different this year.  There were some big changes in 2007 and more to come in 2008.   Funny how we tend to re-evaluate things at the New Year.  And how differently things can look from one year to the next.

I don’t think we have much planned for tonight.  I know fondue is on the menu for dinner.  I know Lily will be on her regular schedule tonight.  We are all going to the Outback Bowl tomorrow.

Actually raining now.  Hope my yard is loving this!
