is getting pretty thin.  Hey now, I got to get moving on.  If I don’t post something in the next two hours or so, I will have broken my mid-July resolution.  Doesn’t everyone make mid-year resolutions?

Why should January 1st get all the fun and accolades?  None of the resolutions made that day are kept.  Yes, I wrote NONE.  How can you make a viable, quantifiable, smart, measurable, realistic, and time bound resolution when you’re totally inebriated?

So, in the heat of the summer, I say THAT’s the time to make resolutions.  Of course, in the midst of summer we’re totally dehydrated — and in some instances being in a state like that is the equivalent of being drunk.

So, when I resolved a week ago to post something EVERY day on my blog, I really shouldn’t be held accountable for that resolutions.

But, then again, how can we not hold ourselves accountable for all of our actions?  If we say something; we should do it.  If we make a commitment, then by golly we should accept it unconditionally.

So why are we skating on this ice?  Well, remember what I said a few paragraphs before.  It IS the midst of summer, and any ice that could possibly still be frozen, must be in a rapid state of flux and liquification… hence, thin ice.  At best.

So, what are we to do?  Well, I will post.  And you, dare I proclaim it… and you really must hold me accountable for any actions that I commit do… MUST read every word I write.

And to know that you have been reading and not vegetating, you MUST post a comment on every thread that I write so that I know that you were keeping tabs on me, and keeping me honest and committed to my resolution.

So, I will be keeping my little eye on the comment boxes to know that you really care.

Can we do it?  YES we can!

• Spring Cleaning Yesterday, feeling guilty watching Tracy, Tom, and Matthew cleaning the backyard (raking, picking up rocks, planting, mulching) when I got home from picking up Chris after his sleep over at his friends house, I pitched in.

• Half the Year is Gone Half the year to go. Wherever did this year go to?  I'm shocked that tomorrow is the first day of July.  I'm even more shocked that my birthday is coming up in a few days.  I'm in such denial. So much has transpired in the first six months of this......

• Add Social Networking to Your Website With a couple of new tools, anyone (yes, even you) can add social networking features to their website!  If you're not sold on the idea, imagine going to a Starbucks in the morning and everyone being invisible.  No talking, no meeting someone new... just empty silence.  THIS is the standard......
