First Rule of the Irresolute Club: Make A List of Resolutions You Can Actually Keep
Taken on our New Year's Eve weekend getaway to Cape May, NJ and I still can't help but imagine why someone tied a bouquet of holly to this bench.
I'm not a big fan of resolutions. I mean, it's just another reminder of stuff I never got around to doing, or failed to do right the first time around, DAMMIT.
On the other hand, January is sort of like a do-over.
So, I made a mental list of the stuff I would like to "do better," because the second rule of the irresolute club: leave no paper trail.
This year, I really, really want to try hard and cut sugar out of my diet...entirely.
I've done well, so far (yes, I know it's January 3rd, your point being?) until this morning when I absent-minded-ly poured sugar into my coffee (or, caw-fee if you're from Jersey.)
But, rather than start the year out being wasteful (as well) I drank it, anyway.
So, it doesn't really count. Right? RIGHT?!? Riiiiiiight.
Okay, fine, here's a list of MY resolutions for 2012 which I can actually, you know, keep:
- Gain at least 5 pounds.
- Be more indecisive.
- Do less laundry.
- Use more deodorant.
- Drink more wine.
- NOT win the lottery (DAMMIT!)
- Declare procrastination an art form.
- Inhale.
- Exhale.
- Repeat.
I mean, why set myself up for disappointment? Right? RIGHT?!?
[sound of crickets chirping]
Riiiiiiight. Happy New Year, everyone! Want to join the Irresolute Club? What's on your list? Is it 2013, yet?
