Ok, it's time once again to make those resolutions that most of us will certainly not keep true. List them here, and down the road we can all laugh at how we still smoke and don't work out. We can have a chuckle at how we drive to our workplace that is 2.5 miles away while our bikes collect dust. Let's enjoy a ba ha ha over how we drink too much... over a drink.
"While many people use the New Year as an incentive to finally stop (archinecting), most are not equipped to make such a drastic lifestyle change all at once. Many heavy (archinectors) fail to quit cold turkey but do much better when they taper gradually, or even learn to moderate their (archinecting). If you have decided that you want to stop (archinecting), there is (no such) world of help and support available."
Well, I have already been losing weight so that's not something I need to decide to do. However I was wondering if I shouldn't drink less. I don't even drink that much to begin with but lately it's been occuring to me that everytime a friend gets me a gift, it's alcohol related....and everytime I'm invited to a dinner party, I'm the one that's supposed to bring the wine/beer/liquor. Does anyone else have this problem? I guess it's not even a problem but I feel like I'm quickly falling into some Bridget Jones stereotype.
WonderK, it sounds like you're the life of the party - like if you aren't in attendance it's as boring as a party w/o alcohol anyway - so don't worry about it party girl!
1. Join the fitness club in downtown, doing exercise during lunch time, loose weight from baby and back to shape.
2. Join toast master, practice speaking.
3. Find a good daycare for my son.
4. Fix my old house, which starts to have problems on different levels. My husband and I both busy working, and none is a handy man.
5. Organize a architect group to have lunch discussion every month.
6. Join a mom group to find playmates for the baby.
7. Learning microsoft project software.
8. Learning AutoACD 2006 ADT vis

It's going to be a very busy year!!!!!!!!!
....focus on the great things a career in architecture can offer instead of constantly reminding myself that people half as smart with half the education make three times the money.
I lost 35 lbs from January 2005 until a few months ago, so I don't need to do any more of that. I was surprised to find that I may actually have some will power. So what now that I have this power?
1. No more red meat? Or less red meat...
2. Less coffee
3. More bicycling/walking in place of car
4. More recording music in place of tv
5. Less talking about architects as a different species to gf. She hates that "us architects do this and prefer that" shit. No alienating talk.
i am quitting cigarettes. it has been 5 days so far. i would have smoked 150-200 cigs in that many days. if i succeed, i will exercise in golds gym on tina's card. it is all lined up..
-do some massive weight reduction by starting racquet ball
-get serious about starting my green card process (i know saying this sounds sucky, but i have to get it out of my way)
-start saving some dough
-start doing competitons/some actual creative work on the side
8 th day and still no cigarettes for me.
my mom is 87 and she smokes pack a day. but, she swims in the agean sea everyday for 6 mounths out of a year. thats her secret. and, a lots of organic tomatoes..
1. get "it" and/or the GF to go along with "it" (here's your threadjacking setup, LB)
2. get a job somewhere that I don't have to drive to work daily
3. learn to do a perfect track stand on my fixie

and

I'm wondering if the tarps and whoring are related or not? Does he perform favors for guys at construction sites in exchange for their blue tarps, so from now on he's just going to go buy them?
Good luck getting it in the new year, Pixel-who-apparently-IS-cut-out-for-whore-ing!
New Year's Resolutions
Ok, it's time once again to make those resolutions that most of us will certainly not keep true. List them here, and down the road we can all laugh at how we still smoke and don't work out.

I won't procrastinate in 2006!!
oh man am I setting myself up
I need to work on my archinect addiction.
Adapted from the top ten New Year's resolutions:
"While many people use the New Year as an incentive to finally stop (archinecting), most are not equipped to make such a drastic lifestyle change all at once. Many heavy (archinectors) fail to quit cold turkey but do much better when they taper gradually, or even learn to moderate their (archinecting). If you have decided that you want to stop (archinecting), there is (no such) world of help and support available."
get license, fast.
Good luck with that one betadinesutures! You will feel so good when it's done!
I'm gonna drop the five pounds I put on making Christmas cookies.
And be more patient with my son.
And track my billable hours better. Which will probably lead to less archinecting once the dirty truth of how I spend my day is revealed!
Oh and one thing I am definitely NOT resolving to do in 2006 is drink less!
indeed lb.
i will
work more,
play more,
and drink more.
more, more, more in 06.
I dont think I can drink more, or work more, or play more. The Queen has no resolutions for 2006!
queenie, it sounds like you are drinking plenty already. keep up the good work.

sell all my tv's and start draawing again.

JohnProlly, that response is fascinatingly opaque. I'm not sure if I want you to explain it or not.
Maybe he just isn't cut out for whoring and has some sort of need for a lot of blue tarps?
quitting archinect? is there an online support group or forum for those trying to kick?
I'm wondering if the tarps and whoring are related or not? Does he perform favors for guys at construction sites in exchange for their blue tarps, so from now on he's just going to go buy them?
Good luck getting it in the new year, Pixel-who-apparently-IS-cut-out-for-whore-ing!
Naw - I use the tarps to keep stains off my furniture.
and yes, I need to quit being a whore.
on a serious note:
I was kidding. I'm happily married with 3 kids.
Maybe I'm not married and maybe I dont have kids.
But I was kidding.
::braces for internet backlash::
lb you are making me blush "perform favors"....
LB:
If only I could work my magic on the ladies like I do on the pixels, then I'd be all set!
Pixel, what you meant to say was:
If only I could work the ladies like I work JohnProllymy resolution is to move away from boise.
Sounds like that could be nice
to learn how to speak comprehensibly when I'm drunk
Time to bump the old thread. I'll start.
Resolution #1:
