I wish you a Happy New Year! Hell, have a Happy New You while I am at it.
Well here it is folks, the expected post about New Year Resolutions. All the cool kids are doing it- so I figured I better join in too. I am a sucker for blogger peer pressure. So here is my motto "Resolutions-Just say no". Its catchy no? Feel free to use it. See, I am a big fan of self-betterment. I make an honest attempt to be ‘better’ every day. And by better I might mean I try extra hard to fold the clothes when the dryer beeps and not re-run it about 7 times before I fold. But I also think we should be nice to ourselves and not make deadlines or ultimatums either. I think it is great to want to look/feel/act better…but should we proclaim it to all, and feel the guilt when not accomplished by the time the year ends? I say no way. So I have some resolutions that are sorta on-going. Ones I made with myself YEARS ago that I am still working on. Yeah losing those 20 lbs that follow me every where is one, but another is being selective about who I call a friend. Another big one is to NOT feel guilty if I can’t fix all the problems of my family/friends/world. I may never achieve any of these resolutions well enough to move on to others. So they just sorta live with me everyday. And everyday I work on them. I am a work in progress…under construction….so please excuse the mess while I renovate. Myself.

I wish I’d started smoking in November so that I could resolve to kick the habit. Now I’ll have to do something like exercise. (Shudder).
How did you get a picture of my kitchen? My husband went to bed and I was up doing dishes alone til all hours last night.
I gave up on resolutions years ago. I’m more of a goal type gal now.
Agree, good post. I do a few silly ones that I should be able to do but feel better writing them out. My first was was keep three specific counters in my kitchen clean. LOL
But yes, other than that, I’m always trying to improve.. patience, etc. ugh. Ongoing…
I laughed out loud with your words about the dryer “not re-run it about 7 times before I fold”.
I’m so connected to you with today’s post.
Happy New You Marcy!
Has anyone told you recently that you are the absolutly best caption writer around? Such a great ability to be able to give different slants and insites to a single picture!
So…Why CAN’T you fix all the problems of your family and friends? HUH? We’re depending on you! I say instead of a resolution stating that you won’t feel guilty about not being able to fix everything…how about one that states you will be able to fix every problem in 2009!
My resolutions tend to be constant and keep following me around all year, so I shall join your revolution and prepare to face the full force of blogger pressure!
All I can think about is her green shoes. I’ve got to have a pair.
Marcy, you’re perfect just the way you are. Don’t mess with perfection. Cheers to 2009!
Yeah, that’s a pretty forceful shade of green to go with a plain black dress.
She must have already taken off the hugh emerald necklace so it wouldn’t get dirty.
I’d tell Wink Martindale there to deliver a bottle of champagne to me out at the hot tub, then bid him sweet dreams.
