Monday five

All right, all right, so it's Friday Five, only a few days late.

1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year?

Things seem relatively secure on the professional front, and given the market for high-tech writers for the past few years, that's no small feat.

2. What was your biggest disappointment?

I didn't get myself very well organized. I really have no excuse than a paralyzingly bad case of procrastination.

3. What do you hope the new year brings?

In no particular order: A mild winter for the Northeast, no more illness in my house, financial propserity, reliable automotive transportation (fingers crossed -- everything is going well with the new van so far). A new administration in the White House would be a good way to end the year.

4. Will you be making any New Year's resolutions? If yes, what will they be?

I don't think new year's resolutions are a good idea -- the majority of people who make them don't stick with them. I'm no different in this respect, so I tend not to make them.

5. What are your plans for New Year's Eve?

We'll probably do Chinese food and otherwise stay in. Bonnie and I aren't drinkers and I don't usually like to hang out with people who are drinking, so we haven't tended to find New Year's Eve parties. The novelty of being allowed to stay up until midnight hasn't worn off on Bob yet (though he hasn't been able to make it that long -- last year, he conked out at about 11:40). So we'll sit around and watch TV. Maybe I'll rent a movie if I'm feeling motivated. *shrug.*
