And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne!
It's coming - the new year...2007...the big '07...a fresh start! Gone are my procrastinating ways! I have a clean slate people...a fresh outlook...
Yeah, who are we kidding? I say this every year. But THIS YEAR will be different! WHY? Why do I even begin to think that? Why do I need the flip of a calendar to clean more/say no more/eat better/drink more water/EXERCISE. I mean really, if I'm going to do it, if I actually have the willpower (HA) to do it, why am I not already doing it? Because I'm a lump, that's why. I've come to terms with my lumpiness. I don't like it, but I'm also too lumpy to change it.
But in the spirit of the season, here are some of my pitiful New Year's Resolutions...now young Julie would say that I'm setting myself up for disaster by not being more positive about them.
Blah-blah-blah-positivity...I get it...I'll add it to the list:
1. Be more positive (see? I can do this)
2. Be more positive about being positive (this is very important)
3. Be more organized. This includes but is not limited to: opening the mail every day and disposing of the junk, actually listening to messages on the answering machine, keeping an accurate calendar of activities, going to bed earlier and getting up on time.
4. Finding some sort of exercise. Does bowling count? I only do that once a week, though...so even if it does count, it's a pitiful workout to only do it once a week. Hmmmmm...
5. Establish vacation savings fund.
6. Keep house tidier. How gay does THAT sound? But it's true. It makes my husband crazy and it's not a bad thing - to actually pick up after yourself. Huh, who knew?
7. Be home more than one night in any given week. THIS will be a challenge...not in the winter months so much...I think I can actually pull it off...but when baseball starts I see problems.
8. More family dinners, actually sitting around a table. *gasp* what is the phenomenon of which I speak? I guess that goes hand in hand with actually being HOME.
9. Floss more regularly.
10. Figure out a way to ingest nasty-ass estrogen-reducing powder shit. *ick*
11. Convert my checking account/debit card into something that earns me points/miles/shoes...anything!
12. Drink more water (which may mean less diet coke, this could be a problem)
Okay...that's it for now. Just making that list makes me want to cry. It's exhausting...the thought of it all. But I can do it. I'm determined. DETERMINED. No..really...stop laughing at me and smirking and saying "yeah, right" - be POSITIVE damn you!
So - what are your resolutions? You know you have them...even when you know you won't follow through year after year like me - you still HAVE them. So spill it...I want to laugh at YOU.

I resolve to not make any crazy resolutions that I know I'm not going to keep!
Don't know what time you posted your blog, but I see that you don't have many biting fish.
Love ya, and have a great New Year!
I've yet to keep a resolution, unfortunately. But, I like yours - can I borrow them or at least experience them vicariously through you?
Drink much less Diet Pepsi. Let the laughter begin...
I think I will start taking better care of my colon
Pea - begs the question...just how DOES one do that?
Colleen - feel free to borrow my list - but if you do actually keep any of the resolutions, you can't tell me unless I first tell you that I've actually done it. To know that someone else is completing my resolutions while I sit on my ass drinking red wine is even more depressing than the fact that I'm not doing it.
Eileen - I don't see you giving up diet pepsi any more than I'm giving up diet coke. They have us by the proverbial balls, baby.
And I don't think you should have asked Pea about her colon - she's going to start talking juice and cell cleansers and possibly enemas...lets not go THERE.
I hereby officially retract my question to Pea. After a week of the stomach flu with my little one, I've had about all of the bodily functions I can take.
Thanks for the heads up, Rebecca.
Me, I'm going to try to talk about boobs every week day.
OK, I hereby resolve to sit on my ass and drink red wine! Now, that's a resolution I know I can keep.
Well, we can see blogging more often was not a resolution of yours...
I vow to quit smoking in the year 2007.
Jimmer, I am 3 weeks ahead of you dude, do it...it can be a pain, but you can do it!!! Happy New year
Thanks for the encouragement Pea!!!
Are you doing anything special?
