I've looked over last year's New Year's resolutions. They can be found here. Turns out, I did a pretty crappy job of following through on all of these.
For the record, I didn't exercise in 2006 much more than in 2005. I did get the stationary bike, and it has remained "stationary", except for a three-week period in September when I used it five or six times. I'm going to carry that resolution over to 07. I think just having a small child around requires me to do enough lifting and other physical activities that I'll burn more calories. Plus, maybe we'll use the bike sometime.
I didn't find a suitable pet name for Mrs. U. I think I've been calling her "babe" alot, instead of "baby", since there's another baby in the house. I'm still shopping for a good secondary pet name until the kids are past toddler age.
I believe I accomplished the embarassing #4 on last year's list. At some point, I'm sure it happened. Mrs. Undaground can't seem to remember any specific incident, but I can recall a few.
Since there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of personal accountability when it comes to following through on my New Year's resolutions, I've decided to aim a little higher this year, armed with the knowledge that nothing bad will happen if I don't reach these goals. So, here are my New Year's resolutions for 2007.
1. Learn how to solve the Rubik's cube. I saw the Will Smith movie, The Pursuit of Happyness, over the holiday. He got a pretty good job by doing this. A guy at work has a Rubik's cube, and I've been able to solve it using the internet. Now, I have 11 months to memorize how I did it, so I can impress the boss at some future job interview.
2. Get a tattoo. That's right. I'm getting ink. I'm planning on putting one on the upper arm, so nobody will really see it unless I'm shirtless (not a very common occurence in public, except for that one unfortunate incident at Sizzler steakhouse).
3. Teach my child how to walk. I figured I'd throw a gimme in there so next year I can check at least one of these things off the list. If all goes well, I will also show him how to turn that walk into a saunter.
What are your resolutions? I'd like to hear them.

Last year I set the goal of swearing more often. Cursing made me feel confident and assertive. You know what I f*%kn' mean. Hell yea!
This year, I plan on swearing a little less. I think in 2006, it was just plain trashy. Especially when I would use a swear word as an adjective. " That's a nice f#%king house." or " You look f-n great, you piece of sh*t"
Matthew, that's a lofty f#%king goal!! I wish you all the f#%king luck in the world.
Undaground, I'm behind you with the ink, as long as it says MOM which would be cool when you raise your hand and it reads WOW.
Also, I've been meaning to ask you - are you taking that new job with the Steelers?
