RESOLUTIONS:

"I hereby resolve to:"

Get dressed before noon..

.or at the very least, before the video conferencing call with my boss.

4) Not talk on my cell phone

while in the bathroom doing - - - (you finish this sentence).

5) Never pull away from the gasoline pump ...

with the hose still in the tank (darn those cell phone calls).

6) Try and drive at or under the speed limit ...

at least when I'm not hungry, tired or late.

7) Watch more television

it IS the "window into the world", right?

8) Keep my opinions to myself

(yeah, right).

9) Get two friends to START smoking ...

that way I'll feel less guilty that I don't seem able to quit.

10) Play harder, work less ...

who needs a paycheck anyway?

13) Wear something

other than sweat pants to the grocery store ...

14) Stop procrastinating ...

(I think I just might start next month).

15) Enjoy the sweeter side of life

M&Ms, cheesecake and ...

16) Gain some weight

I think I caught a glimpse of one of my ribs in the mirror yesterday.

17) Read something this year ...

other than the gossip columns.

18) Drive myself to the fitness center

when I feel like going from now on ... because walking there makes me perspire.

19) Stop leaving my dirty gym socks

lying in the middle of the floor. I'll leave them on the kitchen table, where they're easier to reach.

20) Kick the caffeine habit

hey, why does my over-sized coffee mug smell like sweaty socks?

21) Read those books I bought 5 years ago

on "how to improve my memory" ... I keep forgetting to read them.

22) Be more decisive ...

I'll absolutely try to attempt to think about resolving to be more decisive, if I possibly can.

23) Quit making those SAME excuses ...

I make the same excuses each year, why I'll do better next year, and it's getting pretty old - this year I resolve to come up with some new excuses instead.
