Ready to Begin
All my tools have come. Yesterday the Snap On guy brought my tool cart. I stopped up to receive and pay for it but got to spend this morning loading it up. Its so wonderful. I have all the tools that are commonly used in it. And that means that theres room in my tool box for the rest of my tools. On top of that the tools that I ordered from Sears came today. With those my tool box is going to be filled to capacity again. Most importantly though, I dont think theres a single tool that Ill need to borrow from any of the other techs now. My cart is just like that one only black (racist).Todays weight: 199.5
Todays goal: 200

1 Down, 37 To Go
OK, for the last three years Ive done that little year in review thing. And for the last three years my biggest failure has been gaining back the 15 pounds I lost over the summer. It really pisses me off. I hate the holidays for that reason. I hate myself for not having any self restraint. I hate Hershey for making Special Dark taste so good. I hate that I make excuses for not walking the dogs every time I take them out. I hate that people have no regard for others wants and give them pounds upon pounds of chocolate. I hate that I cant throw the candy away because its to "wasteful".This morning when I woke up I weighed 201 pounds. If all went well Ill be 200 pounds tomorrow. Then Ill be 192 on the 11th and back to 187 (my low for 2007) by the 31st of January. Those 15 pounds are the easiest. Ive lost those every year since I was first over 200. Its the next 23 thats hard. But I plan on being at 164 by Turkey day. 164 falls on the high end of a healthy weight for someone my height, gender and age. This isnt a resolution. Its something I must do. Im too good looking to be fat.

Twelve Drummers Drumming
On the twelfth day of Christmas, I shopped and posted. I had spent some of my gift certificates xmas night ordering things that were on sale from the Sears website. Today I finished spending the last of it. With the exception of a bigger toolbox and a set of chisels and punches (which the catalog is out of)Â I now have all the tools that I need from Sears. Until the next catalog comes out.

Eleven Pipers Piping
On the eleventh day of Christmas, we watched football. We finished up our long drive home. The return trip only took us 28 hours. Which ment we got home in time to watch the afternoon game and the late game. It was good to be home.
