The First 100 Hours

I took off a week of work. How do you like that? I haven’t taken any time off since July, and even then the cell phone wasn’t that far away…Being in sales the last week of the year, while all the support folks (read that as underwriters and processors) are off on vacation the sales force is trying to meet year end goals and cram stuff in before the calendar switches over. It was hell but I got it done.

So I deservingly took the first week of the New Year off. No new resolutions, take care of my family, and myself, and trying and meet some financial goals. My insurance goals run from Jan1-Dec31, and the RE runs from March or April, not sure when I made my switch. I have already met the goals I set out for last April or March and now I want to pulverize them, and I am already setting new ones.

So how did I spend my first week of the New Year.

I had the last bit of alcohol I am going to drink for a while unless someone offers me a fabulous glass of wine.

I turned 28.
I installed a closet system in my reach in closet.
I built a header and a jamb so that the closet could have doors.
I installed the doors.
I got to use my new tools.
I cleaned my house.
I had a large closing. (not on the closet doors, but on RE)
I bought new linens for our room. (The wife of course picked this out, but I will take it as an accomplishment)
I bought a vacuum cleaner that actually cleans stuff.
I went skiing for an entire day.
I learned how to use my navigation system.
I bought some nice clothes that don’t fit yet.
I enjoyed 3 workouts last week, but need to step it up and wake up earlier.
I went to my friends grand opening of his restarunt. It was fancy.
I moved furniture.
I took down my Christmas tree. I will drag it down the street tonight
I realized I need to buy a flat panel tv for my room.
I don’t think I need HD- ED will be fine.
I paid off 2 credit cards, 1 business, 1 personal, and still have another business one to go.
I have a closing coming up at the end of this month, or in Feb.
I enjoyed some time with my wife.
I enjoy vacuuming. I always have.
I realized I hate EMO rock.
I am seriously considering training to run a marathon, or at least a half.
I have been giving a lot of thought about going from “E to P” (More on this throughout the year)
I realized that I hate Billy Bush, he is the worst, why couldn’t they get Ryan Seacrest to host the new Grease show so that I may enjoy it.
