- quit smoking finally

- grow my business above 2007 levels (looking like a tall order at the moment!)

- Didn't auto-x
- Saved money
- business doesn't look like it'll reach 2007 levels, but not bad either

DID get FTD at an autocross this fall in my civic WOO!
No promotion at work, bc of the economy right now - no one has gotten a promo in 12 months.
No cruise, but i did spend a ballin weekend in NYC.
about a 50% success rate! i still have a few months left to get crackin on those last few. haha

I wasn't here last year but I had a few resolutions.
1.) Lose weight- I started in March @ 270 lbs and now I'm ~225 or so, so I did pretty well there, I just need to tone up now.
2.) Further my education so I can get a new job-- Last year I had just got CCNA in July and was working for a small telecom company doing small-scale Cisco IP telephony rollouts. I got a new job at pretty Cisco partner consulting for much larger unified communications installations in June and ended up getting CCVP in July. So I did pretty well there.
3.) Learn how to play guitar. I took some lessons and pretty much stopped.. I'd still like to learn, but I pretty much failed on that one.
2/3 aint bad.
btw DCs2ooo, I believe I did some work for your company at my old company. How's everything holding up?
