Resolutions ‘09

So I’ve been putting off making any real resolutions at all thus far.  The reason is that I feel I am condemning anything I resolve out loud to epic failure, sheerly by the fact that if spoken out loud, it becomes a New Year’s Resolution.  And I know damn well how those have ended up in the past.  For instance, one year I resolved to be nice to everyone.  HAHA!! HAHAHAHA!! HAHAHA!! Oh…

 

So anyway, here is my wishlist of potential resolutions:

 

1 – Lose weight & tone up (I never said these were going to be unique)

2- Work on finding a grad school - and a grad school program for that matter!  I.e. Visit some schools!

3 – Work on my creative writing

4- Get a side job with a publication

5- Decide where my personal life is going… (this was left vague intentionally… rest assured I know what it means in my head)

 

But I won’t resolve to do any of those yet.  Making them a resolution means I can shunt them aside, because that’s what everyone else does and then we can all talk about it together and feel better about ourselves because we’re not the only ones who failed.  We must not succumb to this mentality of sheep!  Is there any other way I can accomplish my big life’s to do list aside from RESOLVING to? 

 

I’m thinking along the lines of doing Weight Watchers for the first time (hey shut up, Fergie did it too!  True story).  You know, where you trick yourself into losing weight because you don’t know the program well enough to cheat it yet?  Which reminds me, does anyone know how to do the new Momentum program and can teach it to me so I don’t have to pay $40 a month to make up for my lack of willpower and self-discipline?

 

Oh yeah #6 on my list of NOT resolutions – Develop some semblance of will power and self-discipline…

 

Happy New Year guys!  Great to be back in the office.  Really.  I’ll be here.  All.  Day.  Every.  Day.

 

Let’s do Happy Hour on Friday.  (Internal Resolution #1 – Look forward to things more often! Possibly by posting in the form of “Notes” on Facebook).

 

Oh and if any of you did go ahead and make a resolution or two… share it with us here in the form of a COMMENT!  COMMENTS are welcome.  RESOLVE (or not) to make more comments on the Crummity .    Just do it.
