Me too ... H.E.B. sells 8" pies, so I'll get those instead of the 9" H.E.B. pies.

My "eating smaller" last year netted me about 35 pounds gone, and 4 inches in the waist........

I guess this year will have to be to quit the obnoxious smoking habit. If I focus on the positive, that means more money for the range!!!!! Silver lining and all, right?

In addition, I plan to complete 40+ hours of college.

Win the lottery.....

Gee.....I can hardly wait til tomorrow!!

:iagree: All except the college [for me]. If you win the lottery, you can take 80+ hours. ;-)

Best on your New Year goals. :thumbs2:

Mine was to get a more stable job/better career. As luck would have it I just got a call from a company I had interviewed with a few weeks back and they offered me a possition with them. Start my new career Mid-January, 2011 is gonna be a good one.

My New years resolutions:
1: Keep at least four out of five resolutions (including this one).
2: Post on social networking more so people will leave me alone about it.
3: Start Reloading.
4: Buy more guns.
5: Loose weight (want to watch the numbers fall on each 4473)

For those who put down to buy a new gun, or buy more guns list some examples of what you may (or plan) to get.
In my case I think I will get at least a .22 double action revolver, a Smith & Wesson M&P, and I am considering a Gen4 Glock as well.

I must be really odd because I honestly don't stress about things I can't control. I might be unhappy about them, but I don't ever actually feel stress. Then again, I tend to get very stressed about things I can control. For example, I can be in a plane in severe turbulence in the middle of a thunderstorm, and I actually feel at peace. However, put me in the drivers seat of a car in the same weather and I will be very stressed by the time I get home.

My resolutions:
1. Continue to avoid Facebook. I refuse to be assimilated.
2. Settle on the guns I want for carry and home protection and actually sell off any that are excess.
3. Get my finances in order.
4. Spend as much time as I can with my kids. Hopefully they can continue to teach me how to keep everything in perspective.
5. Put my relationships on at least the same level of importance as getting the task done, both at work and in my personal life.
6. Get healthy (diet, exercise, and stress levels).
7. Talk to my Mom at least once a week.
