My non-descript year at a glance

So I turned 34 today. Very non-descript year, I must add. So what's on my plate for 2006? I sure would like to know, but as my birthday is near the end of the year, I kind of use this as a fake new-years resolution. Here's what's on my plate:

Starting today, (and I am not a religious man) I am going to pray that we have a miraculous regime change here in the U.S. The man and his fraudulent cronies must go. The United States looks like a global bitch and that must stop by any means necessary.

January 20th my father turns 65. I will send him a card this year... it's been far too long.

February 5th our parenting classes end. Perhaps I will be certified to be a parent, but I'm not sure.

Come March 18th or so, I am expecting a daughter. Her name is Phoenix, and if you don't like it you can go **** yourself.

Perhaps near Memorial day, we (my family) will take a trip out west to visit my parents, grandparent, aunts uncles & the lot.

June 3rd my wife is scheduled to go back to work. This is where child care will come in quite handy... if we can get in anywhere.

July 4th we celebrate our tenuous freedom. Just don't say anything 'cause you might end up unexpectedly (and unexplainedly) in some sweaty man-party called prison.

By August I hope to have completed a full on garden complete with a deck for our shed/greenhouse, new ballusters for our staircase, and perhaps will have started communicating via sign language with my daughter.

September brings labor day, the end of yard sales in my neck of the woods, and the beginning of the end of foliage here in Vermont.

October we will begin the fun of Halloween with our baby girl. We will dress her up as a rabbit with a carrot sewn on the hand... How do I know this??? 'cause we already have the rabbit costume and it's cute as hell. I will eat the candy.

November - Thanksgiving, Christmas rush, cold leafless trees.

December - I will turn 35... not so non-descript... I'll have to put some real thought into 2007.
