I'm a slacker

I have been slacking at just about everything but work lately, but I'm finished now. I've started walking Brock every day again. I've found numerous body weight exercises and found someone at work willing to start doing them so we can get back into shape with no excuses. I started doing some things around the house, another phase of picking up and decluttering, I want to get the garage cleaned out most of all to make plenty of room for the Trailblazer. I've made progress in my reading (right now just my stack of magazines on the table, but I've read two books in between as well, Watchmen and Smarter Than You Think). I'd have another book ready to go (Confessor) if Brock hadn't destroyed it. I didn't even get a chance to crack the cover on that one!

With all of that going on it should be apparent that I watch less tv, and am seriously considering canceling my digital cable. That would take me a step in the other direction I need to keep control of, which is spending. I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I switched from the free quicken online management tool to the equally free (and better IMO) www.mint.com site. That being said, I'm aleady over budget for March and its only the 19th.

None of that is very exciting, but I had to write it down and post it to make it public record, which guilts me into doing it. I also need to post a few updates to adamsbeetus and whiteboardpictures that I've had in mind for quite a while, but keep pushing off.

I use mint to and its helped a lot. I am going to have to reconfigure it though for this summer because its going to be tight!!!!!!

Glade to hear your are getting back on track. Are you planning on a summer Vaca at all?
