Where did October go??

You mean to tell me today is December 20th? 2006 is almost here??? Geez! I remember 1986 pretty dog gone well... Dang I'm getting old.

Let me just say, it was FREAKIN' cold atop Red Mountain this morning. The sun had been up for two hours when I got there and it was still 23 blasted degrees! I've made my Dad fill all our propane tanks and gas cans...so that when the freak ice storm hits, we'll be covered! ;) I can almost assure you...Alabama will see either a lot of snow or ice between now and March 15th. I'm almost willing to put money on it...it's been way too cold way too early.

Well, I'm going to be a little busy between now and probably the middle of January. Of course, work takes up most of my time these days...mostly due to the fact I normally just want to go directly home afterwards because I'm tired...or people I might hang out with from work are just getting to their lunch hour. Oh the trials of having "bankers hours." However, I'm thinking of taking a couple weekend road trips this coming year. None of my friends are going to be nearby anymore...and I've got all the time in the world to goof off and do what I've wanted to do for a long time. Get in the car with a suitcase and not know exactly where I'm going to end up.

Things at work are going just peachy right now. I got a raise (a nice one) after only six months in this current job. I am, however, finding myself a little more bored than usual. I almost think I'm better suited to work outside instead of inside... However, on cold mornings like this was, I'm pretty glad I have a nice, sometimes warm, office to work in.

Now that I got the raise, the question is will I move closer to work? Until I get my first paycheck with the raise attached, I would have to decline. I'd much rather go out and buy a house, but I still don't know if I want to stay right where I'm at right now...which is the other big reason I'm not prepared to waste my time and money on moving a few miles... What I really want to do is fool with commercial production or documentaries...and I'm not seeing too many jobs for those out there at the moment. I'm beginning to think I'd like to just wash my hands of this station and company all together. The station itself I'm still uncomfortable around... It's sad...because I like some of my co-workers there...and my co-workers at other stations I'm fairly fond of... But I've just never felt that good feeling about where I'm at...so some changes may be coming in the next year.

What do I have planned to resolve next year?? Here's a list of what I have planned out (don't laugh...too hard ;)):

1.) Get out and travel a little more (without a hurricane in the vicinity)
2.) Lose 10 lbs. (doubtful)
3.) Get a girlfriend (I dunno...I've been out of the dating scene a while...a long while...we'll see)
4.) Go to at least ONE movie (if there are any good ones this time...last year was kind of a let down...)
5.) Eat more pie
6.) Find world peace
7.) Eat more pie
