Resolutions !!!

OK ... so the New Year is upon us . My New Year is actually in September.... when I swoon to the smell of freshly sharpened pencils. But since we are edging closer to 2012 .... and the trusty Mayan's have predicted the end for us all , I guess I had better start paying closer attention to the traditional New Year !
I am not a person who makes New Years resolutions. BUT ...I have decided to make some this year ! I have 10 things that I am going to do in 2010. Ok .....here we go :

1. I will quit the gym . I pay every month and do not use it . I used to - but now I find that the gym I belong to ( hint...the most popular one in my town ) has suddenly become full of people who refer to the instructors as their personal friends... in sentences like "wow Brad really gave my ass a pounding this morning." And guys who make really loud noises when they lift weights .... kind of like tennis players. I cannot stand it and I find that having to listen to this shit actually raises my blood pressure ! So no more gym ! Yahoo !!

2. I will only wear a bra when I absolutely have to ( which is not far from what I do now )

3. I will try to stop saying "ok" when what I actually mean is "hell no." This one is going to be very hard !

4. I am going to spend even more time with my daughter .... as she is my most favourite person on earth.

5. I am going to start to dress my little dog in those annoying little costumes. This is going to be fun !

6. I am going to wear my jeans more than once .... even if I spill something on them.

7. I am going to begin a yoga practice at home . I have all the fixins' to do it and Gerry is in .... so here we go !

8. I am going to get one of those little machines that make white noise and attempt to drown out my husbands snoring .

9. I want to get 4 facials this year . I feel this is really important ....much more important than wearing a bra and since I have given that up I will put the money I am saving on bras into facials !

10. I am going to re-do our bedroom by only spending $200.00 . This is a challenge that I will document !

So there we go ! my list for 2010 !

Put a gym in the house. You get your workout in the time it typically takes to pack your things, get to the gym, park, unpack and dress, etc. The money saved on membership can go into nice equipment. Happy New Year guys.

Heather...........I love your resolutions.......I can help with the not say "ok" when you really mean "hell no"......that was one of mine years ago and it really does change your life........
As for the snoring........just reach over and cover his mouth and nose at the same time.....he will begin to choke and roll over.....snoring stops.....just remember to see if he is breathing...Sorry Gerry I'm with Heather on this one.......love the one about more time with your daughter......she is very precious as we have personally witnessed this year with Maria's Journey
