So long, January 2011. We hardly even knew ya.

Can you believe it? January 2011 is already in the books. Wow!

For me, February 1st represents Checkpoint Alpha on the resolutions. It’s time to check in and see how I’m doing so far.

Successes

Publish a Podcast: Technically this is done but it hardly counts as a success.

Drink More Water: Success. Boring.

Abstaining: Sugar, soda, coffee and World of Warcraft were all successfully avoided.

Shutterboo’s WPC 2011: I haven’t missed a week so far and only I’ve only cheated a little bit.

Blogging: I posted every day on Shouts From The Abyss and every week on Minimal Fridge.

Vegetarian: Success! But, I’m only barely hanging on.

Up In The Air (no noticeable improvement)

• Being more honest
• Be a better listener (wife says she’ll get back to me on this, at least I think that’s what she said)
• Drink less alcohol
• Be more moral and ethical

And last but not least…

Epic Failures

• Eat out at restaurants less often
• Find some way to finally give Jane her birthday present
• Eat less processed foods
• Commence work on my book and produce at least one publishable sentence
• Keep my refrigerator as minimal as possible in the pursuit of 100% food efficiency
• Invent a 27th letter of the alphabet

I think that’s about it for discussing resolutions this year. That topic has done been beat to death. I gotta get my mind on something else. See ya next year!
