I rarely ever make resolutions (when you're already perfect, there's no need, right? HAHAHAHA! kidding!). Seriously, so I'm thinking this year I need to make a couple. The following are just a start... feel free to add your own. I figure if they are there in writing somewhere, SOMEONE will remind me of 'em! <grin> 1. Drop that 5 lbs that I've gained the past four months (that will be easy to do, just go to the gym regularly again). 2. Be more patient. This means being more patient with EVERYONE!!! Including the idiot drivers on our California roadways, the fill-in checkers taking the place of the grocery workers on strike, my own family and friends, co-workers. EVERYONE!

Putting them in print is a good way to drill them into your head - so here goes: 1) exercise 3 times a wk & stop the junk food (this should help get rid of the extra wt & make the clothes look & feel better). 2) CLEAN my house - even though my sig. other & I are both professionals, I refuse to pay someone to clean up after us. My house gets picked up & half-a$$ cleaned enough. I want to focus 1 rm @ a time & deep clean just like I'm moving or something. (No time limit) 3) Continue to pay as much as I can on credit cards I have already cancelled to get them GONE.

I resolve to make no new resolutions, but to continue with those I made at Samhein: - Continue decluttering
- Continue my revised Flylady schedule
- Continue to do one fun thing for myself everyday

P.S. Uh better change that to exclude all words after the comma and might as well change the comma to a period while we are at it.

Every year I resolve to talk less and listen more. I think as I look back over several years, I have gotten better. This year I'd like to stop wasting so much time.

I made this resolution last year but didn't keep it, so I'm going to try again. Once a month, I'm going to try to write real, stick them in the mail box with a stamp on it, letters to family and friends. Telephone is easier and so is e-mail, but there's something wonderful about finding a real letter in your mailbox.

I don't ususally make New Year's Resolutions...but since I'm really bored at work I'll make one. This year I will work at being more patient with everyone including myself. Also kinder to myself -

I can agree with you Reasonly! I am the only person I know who actually writes letters (with a pen and a stamp). All of my friends comment on it, and now they all give me unusual stationery. They love it when they get an actual letter in the mail. As for Credit cards, that was my NYR for last year....I simply stopped using them for everything. I have a Visa Check Card that I use in it's place. My motto has been that if I don't have the cash for it, I don't need it! Some emergencies have come up (ie: car repairs, etc) and I had to dip into my savings, but I stuck to the plan. This year, I will work on getting into better shape. Not a drastic resolution, no sizes or pounds, just general better health.

This year my resolutions are to work hard on the friendships I still have, take time for myself each day and eat healthier/be active more. Every year my resolution is always to be happy and that will be no different this year, I will work hard to keep a smile on my face through all of lifes turns....

Angel: How did I break mine? I made no new ones, just resolved to continue the ones I made at Samhein. I just didn't post them then. And I am making progress on them. Slow progress, but progress none the less. Unless you're taking the resolving to make no new resolutions as a resolution, which is true, I suppose, except that I did modify it as I was typing it (hence Grannie's removing all of the modifiers). I've had some people tell me that resolutions made for non-US New Year's don't count (which I found even more amusing).

Ok, I know I am late and all that, but I have finally gotten it together. 1. I am OFFICIALLY on a diet (seriously, this time), as I signed up for the Discovery National Body Challenge as posted in a couple of threads here on TVCH (thanks, Pamy, again! ), And 2. That means I am officially going to start using my exercise videos daily--until I get access to the free 3 month membership at Bally's (that comes with the DNBChallenge!) And, 3. I am going to LAND a job I want, too. You just wait and see!!!!!

costacat, to get over the irritating california drivers, spend one week in boston i hope to lose 30 pounds by next christmas. i hope to be more patient with irritating husbands. okay, one husband. if he doesn't piss me off. and when i feel like it. i hope to be able to quit calling my son 4 times a day while he is in college to make sure he is up, homework done, eating, going to bed at a decent hour. LOL i hope most of all that any bone marrow transplant that happens for my dd's history teacher gives him his miracle to live.

One more resolution, thanks to Tabbyking's extremely thoughtful message, above: Next week, I am going to inquire about testing/registering my bone marrow for a possible transplant and then take the test/register. And I resolve to update you all when I have accomplished that.

No more procrastination in the morning (do I really have to check the tv guide for the next few days????) so I will not be "rushing" to get anywhere.... I need to destress my life and that is my first step. I'll work on the next step after I have been able to make this first step a new habit (remember, it takes 21 days in a row to create a new habit). Oh, second resolution - no more casino bingo (I calculated out last year that I spent more than I won and I have more money in the bank when I don't go to bingo, ergo, no more bingo no matter what the coupon nor the free gift for playing). 'squeek'

Got this in an email today... New Year's Resolutions You Can Keep =================================== Have you broken your New Year's Resolutions already? Well, here's a rather crazy list that you can keep. 1. Gain weight. At least 30 pounds. 2. Stop exercising. Waste of time. 3. Read less. Makes you think. 4. Watch more TV. You've been missing some good stuff. 5. Procrastinate more. Starting tomorrow. 6. Stop bringing lunch from home: Eat out more. 7. Get in a whole NEW rut! 8. Spend your summer vacation in Cyberspace. 9. Don't eat cloned meat. 10. Create loose ends. 11. Get more toys. 12. Get further in debt. 13. Don't believe politicians. 14. Break at least one traffic law. 15. Avoid airplanes that spontaneously drop 1000 feet. 16. Don't swim with piranhas or sharks. 17. Associate with even worse business clients. 18. Spread out priorities beyond ability to keep track of them. 19. Wait around for opportunity. 20. Focus on the faults of others. 21. Mope about faults. 22. Never make New Year's resolutions again.
