First Rule of the Irresolute Club: Make A List of Resolutions You Can Actually Keep

Bench Full of Holly

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:

  1. Gain at least 5 pounds.
  2. Be more indecisive.
  3. Do less laundry.
  4. Use more deodorant.
  5. Drink more wine.
  6. NOT win the lottery (DAMMIT!)
  7. Declare procrastination an art form.
  8. Inhale.
  9. Exhale.
  10. 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?
