Been a while, eh?

Not much has happened in the World of Johnson lately. Mostly working on the house (we are ALWAYS working on the house). But I've decided to start making some changes in my (our) life.

See, Stephen and I have really been beating our selves up for being fat, lazy, spending too much money on nonsense and in general not living the way we'd like. So I've decided to start making some plans and make some changes:

Plan #1: Stop eating out. Period. Ever. I estimate the we spend $200+/month eating out because we are just too damned lazy to cook. That's $2,400/year- or two whole house payments. Enough already!

Plan#2: No more soda. Even diet. I haven't had a beer in like 4 days! It's killing me.

Plan #3: Start getting into some sort of better physical condition. I'm not talking gym and working out and all that crazy talk. Maybe just walking around the neighborhood every evening for a while. Maybe a cute little pink tandem bike- that'll get the neighbors a-chattin'!

I'm still working on the rest. We don't have a plan for the future- like when Stephen retires and all that. We have no idea where we'll be in 5 or 10 years and not knowing has really started to bug the crap outta us. I just feel like maybe we could be more in control (not complete control- that's weird) of where our lives are going.

Maybe my "old age" is finally catching up with me. Dunno.
