So Far So Good

I've so far stuck to my New Year's resolution to try one new thing a week.

Last week I attended a book club meeting that I found on meetup.com.  They were discussing Orphan Train and since I just finished it, it was a great opportunity to get out there and meet new people.

There were about 10 people who showed up, which was good considered it snowed earlier in the day.  Pretty good discussion.  And most everyone seemed nice.  So I think I'll go back next month.

This week I signed up for a Networking After Work event.  It was last night at The Gryphon (which is a restaurant close to work that I have been wanting to try).  There was probably 150 people there, from every type of job.  I had asked my friend, Craig, to join me so I would know at least one person there.  I ended up talking with a woman who knows a guy I went on a few dates with last year.  Kind of awkward.

Next week I think I might try a country line dancing class...

Back in the Saddle Again

I've decided to start up the ole blog again.  Not just for weight loss, which I am working on again, but just in general.  I am determined that 2015 will be my year.

How will 2015 be my year, you ask?  That is still unclear. I have a few goals for myself though:

1. Read more
2. Do one new thing a week
3. No dating until I've lost 20 lbs
4. Pay off debt
5. No cutting hair this year (other than a trim)

Yes, those are random, but what do you expect from me?

This week's something new is going to a book club meeting from meetup.com.  That will be Weds night.
