New Year's

While I didn't have my girls on New Year's, which made it kind of hard, I had a pretty good New Year's Eve. I had to work until 3 but after that I went up to Troy's house and we went to dinner at the Bohemian Brewery. I got schnitzel, which I've never had before but it was really good, and Troy got fish and chips. The fries were soo good. The schnitzel was good but huge. I ended up taking some of it home. After dinner we went back to his place and just ended up watching television and going to bed at about 11:00. I wanted to try and stay up to light off fireworks and bring in the new year but I was so tired that I decided to call it a night.

I haven't yet decided if I want to set any new year resolutions or not. In a way I feel like goal setting is good and when, if, you make it to your goal it gives you something to feel good about. At the same time, what if you don't make it to your goal? My history is that I usually make the resolution then by March forget about it and don't do anything for the rest of the year. Then, when New Year's rolls around again you think about your resolution again realize that you never did work on it, let alone reach your goal. So, it kinda makes you depressed and you try to be optimistic and think that the next year will be better and you will do a better job. However, it remains the same, just like a vicious cycle. A question I have this year is if I can break the vicious cycle or not. Will I just be setting myself up for disappointment in the end? Or should I not make any resolutions and at the end of 2009 I can look back over the year and realize that I did what I could and I'm happy with that?
