So, it's that time of year again. Resolution time. Time to a make a list of crap we wish we did and know that we won't, hoping (beyond all logical reason) that sticking it on a list will make it happen. This year, I've decided to forgo the pretense and just put together "A List of Sh*t I May or May Not Do."
1. Go on a Picnic. Seriously. They look so lovely and wonderful. I think everyone should have a little lovely and wonderful in their lives. Now, if only I could find one of those nifty picnic baskets (like they always seem to have in the movies). I mean, I'm not going on a picnic carrying a Target bag full of snacks. Picnic basket or bust!!
2. Hug More. I'm not gonna become all peace, love, and granola. Nor am I gonna risk my job by randomly hugging people at work (um, sexual harassment claims are not my cup of tea). That said, when the moment calls for it, I will try to go against my natural instinct and hug away.
3. Become Master of My Own Domain. This is a sexual reference. I'm not gonna go into it. If you don't get it, it doesn't matter - I don't need your help anyway. I've already started working diligently on this item ;-)
4. Put up or Shut Up. For years I've been blathering on to any gal pal who will listen about how I need to lose 5 pounds (or 10 or 15). Well, this year - no more. I'm either going to get into "fighting" weight or I'm not. And if I choose not too, I will refrain from comparing myself to barely realistic super models.
5. Send Thank You Cards. I don't care who you are, everyone likes receiving thank you cards in the mail (notice I said "in the mail," not by text or Facebook message). I am actually going to try and be good about this - starting NOW - or maybe starting . . . soon (I'm hoping to get my Xmas thank you cards out before spring!).
6. Smile More. I kinda think everyone should do this one. Won't you join me?
So, there you have it - my "list." Now, I'm off to Number Five my friend who got the toy that I will use when I Number Three which will definitely make me Number Six.
I think this might just be a good year!
