Goals
1) Read at least 6 books for fun (i.e. no business books)
Progress: Started The Winds of War; forgot how addictive it was. Having trouble putting it down.

4) Technically and accidentally, finished a video game this weeked. So one down, 11 more to go.

5) Plan 6 dates with my wife (one every other month - she has the other six)
Progress: Sounds weird, but I think the wife is up for gonig to a roller derby.
Plan: Buy tickets and arrange for sitter. May be a double date also.

6) Becoming healthier
Progress: Started a new diet with the wife (kind of a lite version of the diet, but it is a start right?)
Plan: Starting the gym today.

7) Start drafting a book (yes, I want to write a book)
Progress: None
Plan: Put this on hold until some of the others are rolling along.

8) Payoff all debt with the exception of my student loans and our largest two credit cards.
Progress: Well, the tax man took a bigger chunk than expected, so the bonus didn't go as far. Had a few other hiccups as well.
Plan: Tonight, right down every single thing we owe to see the situation.

9) Start a christmas club account for christmas 2010 so that it isn't a financial burden this year.
Progress: On hold.
Plan: Start as soon as 8 will let us.

10) Apply for (and hopefully take) the Professional Engineers exam in October.
Progress: Checked out a recommend study schedule. Basically, it is at least 100 studying days before the exam, studying 3-4 hours per day. I say studying days because some study, just on weekdays, others all 7, some every other, etc., but the 100 studying days are definitely a common theme.
Plan: Plan the schedule. Finish appliacation by end of March to submit. Find and budget for classes to submit to work for approval (along with books and calculators).

11) Become more organized.
Progress: Garage is finally done and holding both cars!!!! Has to be the Resolutions highlight of the week (and it took less time than expected)
Plan: Take the week to prioritze the To-Do List and start attacking next week.
