#14 – Write blog more regularly

Not sure where December disappeared to. I was doing so well, but forces of work, holidays and the build-up to Christmas worked against me, and the blog was the first thing to suffer.

But 2006 will be different. Not just because I will be writing here more regularly, but I will also be working harder toward The Plan, keeping in better touch with friends, making more of an effort at home and being all that I can be. 2005 seemed to be about making one step forward and having to take two steps back. I procrastinated and slacked off on a grand scale, and it makes me mad to think that I have wasted any time that I could have spent achieving my goals. And the only way to avoid it happening again is to attack everything full-on.

This began with cooking for myself, Jess and five friends last night. I can’t remember the last time I cooked a proper meal at home. Publicly, I blame the small kitchen we have been afflicted with, but I know that the main reason is my attitude. So I grabbed the bull by the horns and got stuck into a five course meal. There was too much carrot puree, and the beef was a bit well done, but I enjoyed it and it gave me some sense of achievement.

Thanks to Kev for the pic.

In 104 days I’ll be a married man, and by then I want to be able to stand up in front of my wife, family and friends and not feel in any way that I’m letting myself or these people down.
