Looking Forward to 2006
 

Resolutions? Plans? Hopes? Expectations? – What are you looking at 2006 to bring?

I’m bad at resolutions but I am looking forward to the New Year, some of what I hope to do:

The Metro-Swank Tour – ride the Metro to various swanky locations, meet up with folks, for cocktails, dinner, maybe an exhibit or a show. Now that I ride this thing practically every day, I want to explore a bit more.

Travel – It’s likely I’ll hit Chicago again, and there’s a conference in Texas I’ll probably go to. We’ve got no vacation travel arrangements in the works – but we always end up doing this sort of thing spur of the moment. I’m hoping our cash flow will enable us to take a trip to someplace we haven’t been before.

Work – This perhaps is my resolution, changes in my organization really left me in a funk about my workplace situation by year-end. I want to turn that around, which may mean ruffling some feathers. I’m hoping I can bring about the changes I want to make, and hope my allies in this effort continue to support me.

That’s it for a start, I’m sure I’ll add more items as the year approaches.

For me, 2006 is all about 2 things -

The Wedding - October 21st
The Honeymoon Cruise on the Magic - October 28th - November 4th

And until that month, it's bride stuff galore. :)

For Christmas I bought myself a treadmill so I hope to work out at home more often next year.

This year I decided not to make any resolutions...therefore, I cannot break any resolutions.

But, I've a simple plan:

I want to watch as many silent films as I can get my hands on. I'm going to make a list, and then I'm going to watch them all. Thank goodness for Netflix.

I can't wait to do my taxes. I'm getting a refund. I want to kill a credit card with it. Heh heh.
:)

I like this one, and I may adopt a similar one to catch up on some anime from the thread I started here earlier this year - I love exploring new genres.

Grrr, I'm not looking forward to 2006 at all.

I had three majorly fun events in 2005, albeit ones that cost a fortune. But in 2006, I've not only got to cut the spending waaaaaay back .... I've got to do something to grow up and plan for my eventual retirement in something like 25 years. That's precious little time to save up from, well, zero.

2006 is the year I have to start scrimping, get life insurance, sell my condo and buy a house (starting mortgage payments all over again - bah) and attend to some financial planning for the future which - as the onset of 2006 only proves - is coming fast.

Oh dear, I feel like I may be losing a partner in extravagance - well have to find more cost effective ways to keep the hedons flowing.

:cheers:

2006? I just want to take a bath today!

We actually have real travel plans this year. We're spending a week in New York in May, pretty much camped out on Broadway for the most part, I think. Then in September, it's the multi-day Worldcon in Anaheim.
