New Year’s Resolutions

2009 Resolutions:

  1. Phase meat and dairy out of my regular diet (I have a year, not cold turkey). FAIL
  2. Save money. I’m tired of living paycheck to paycheck. WIN
  3. Make the non-profit org I started official. WIN
  4. Upgrade my job. I either need a new one or a raise. FAIL
  5. Get back to Jiu-Jitsu (This depends a lot on resolution 2 and 4, but I miss it so). FAIL

Best week ever

Ok, technically it’s the best weekend ever.

  • Non-profit brainstorm
  • Got to watch a (DVR) UFC fight with Jose
  • Got Gert vaccinated now that I have money
  • Festival at the park
  • gourmet hot dogs
  • Street party
  • Pub-crawl
  • Received an important certificate in the mail
  • And I even found where I could buy one of those political yard-signs I’ve been looking for.

Nice sunny days, seriously couldn’t get much better.

Non profit org for families in need

It started as just volunteering to do web design for a local charitable non-profit, but ended up with me being on the board of directors. I just attended my first meeting.

The group organizes fun events (very golf-centric) and then donates the proceeds to needy families (something they had been doing before he made it an official non-profit)

Still waiting on 501c3 status (applied for). Edit: We were granted 501(c)3 status.
