I resolve to break many resolutions..probably even some of these…
January 4, 2007
I do this every year… I sit down and take stock of the year that has passed and remind myself of the things I wanted to do, then things I DID do, and the things I should have done, and didn’t. Then I crack open a bottle of wine and finish the entire bottle (Hi Laura!) and I forget what I was doing in the first place. Viola!
This year, it’s going to be different. I’m leaving the wine on the counter, I drank my limit during Christmas anyway. YES! (good times…good times) It’s a New Year, and with it comes hope and faith and delusions of grandeur. So in that spirit, I give you:
Shash’s Resolution Wish List For 2007
I resolve to stop yelling at my kids, and try to listen to them when they are trying to explain who’s fault it is this time. Yeah, that lasted all of 5 seconds.- I resolve to have more date nights with The Hubby, even if it means we leave the kids at home alone and go grab a burger at McDonald’s. In the drive thru. (Okay, probably not McDonald’s – probably Wendy’s. A girl’s gotta have standards.)
- I resolve to get more sleep, even if this means I miss my shows the night they air; I’ll just catch up on the weekend with TiVo. (This will mean that I will be on the sofa the entire weekend, unwashed and lethargic, but at least I’ll be getting better sleep, right? Please remind me of this when you see that I have posted at 3-something a.m. probably in the not-so-distant-future. read: tonight)
- I resolve to become more active. I will start by breaking out these and building up to this. Hey, isn’t it much better when you work out with a buddy?
- I resolve to drink less soda and more water. I will, however, continue to drink the same amount of Green Tea that I normally do in a day (which is a lot). I fully expect Coca-Cola’s stock to plummet because of this, so if you have shares, you may want to sell, sell, sell.
- I resolve to perfect the chocolate martini and introduce more of my friends to the wonder and beauty that is the pomegranate martini. Consider it a humanitarian mission. I feel like Angelina already.
- I resolve to give Spiff more freedom, and watch him spread his wings and fly. I fully expect him to sputter and cough during takeoff, but he can taxi back and try again. (Provided I don’t kill him for driving me absolutely batty first. Teenagers!)
- I resolve in the spirit of NaBloPoMo to post more frequently; but I can’t guarantee they will make sense all the time. I can hope they will be somewhat funny. At the very least, I’ll think they are funny. Hopefully you will too.
- I resolve to be a better person, take life as it comes, and do my best. Basically, the usual.
What are some of your resolutions?

Would it be ok if I just borrowed your list for this year?
I lasted 2 seconds longer with the no-yelling-at-kids resolution, but all in all, you have some great ideas.
