Still recovering from my cold. This year it was weird cause it’s taking longer than normal to shake it. I started feeling bad on New Year’s Day night and woke up on Wednesday all clogged up and crappy. Thursday, I felt better but my voice was starting to go. Friday, I was okay but my voice was pretty much gone. Saturday was the worst, though. I got up and exercised on the treadmill thinking I could loosen up some of the phlegm (yum) and work all the stuff out but all it did was exhaust me to the point that I took a 4 hour nap. Sunday, I was feeling better but the congestion was still in my chest and I took those red pills, you know, the real ones that you have to show your ID and feel like a criminal when you buy them at Wal-Greens because some idiots turn them into speed? Yeah, well now I know why, because I was wired almost all night, just lying in my bed thinking that maybe I should go to sleep since I get up at 4am! This cold does make my voice about half an octave deeper, so I got that going for me. I guess my biggest frustration is what medication, if any, should I take? I’m thinking Nyquil might be my little aperitif tonight.

I did it! I got sick on New Year’s Day again. Well technically, it was the day after New Years but cough and cold and crap combined to make my life miserable for at least 24 hours. You would think that would give me enough time to make some resolutions but instead I watched Transformers. Which I must say was a bit long but fairly awesome especially since I had just visited Hoover Dam a few months ago which is where they filmed a few of the end scenes. I kept telling my sons, “Hey, I was right there on that bridge” and “You see those generators? I was right there on that walkway.” They were dutifully impressed.

Anyway, back to the goals thing. I have a few goals. They involve this website and my personal finance and exercise, you know, the usual stuff and I even found a cool little website to help. Joe’s Goals.com Simple and very easy to use.

So how about you? What’s your deal, pickle?

Is that the mantra for this year? 2008 is going to be great. All right. Just keep repeating it to yourself.

By the way, Happy Gnu Year!
