I know what you’re thinking, “But Diana, how could you possibly improve? You who are so wise in the ways of…um…huh.” Yeah, exactly. The possibilities in which I might improve are so vast I have had a bit of a challenge narrowing them down. But once I took into consideration the fact that I am me and I will not cease being me simply because the year changed, things became a lot easier.
Resolutions 2010: The Depressing Reality Version
One- Rather than staying up past midnight and sleeping in as late as I can, I resolve to stay up until midnight and be up by eight.
Two- Rather than eat pretty much whatever the heck I want, I resolve to eat a little less of pretty much whatever the heck I want.
Three- Rather than using my arch-nemesis The Treadmill one solid month out of the year, I resolve to use my arch-nemesis The Treadmill two solid months out of the year.
Four- Rather than swearing only while in traffic or when quoting a movie or when trying to be funny, I resolve to swear only when quoting a movie… Or when trying to be funny.
Five- Rather than waiting until I have a perfect body to buy those fabulous jeans, I resolve to buy those fabulous jeans as soon as I can save enough of my piano-teacher earnings.
Six- Rather than writing that totally amazing novel someday, I resolve to write that somewhat less amazing novella right now.
Seven- Rather than reading my scriptures regularly half the year and neglecting them the rest, I resolve to read them regularly all year.
Eight- Rather than keeping my house spotless half the year and neglecting it the rest, I resolve to keep my house sanitary but messy all year.
Nine- Rather than focus my efforts on having well-behaved children, I resolve to refocus my efforts on having well-adjusted children.
Ten– Try Sushi.
Happy New Year 2010!
can i just cut and paste your list? i want to add one though. 11-rather then thinking about all of the friends i had when i was little i’m actually going drive to utah and go to lunch/ice cream with one of them? after the snow melts.
Here here on your entire list, except for the swearing. I only swear at Jason and I vow to continue that. Oh, and trying sushi. No way in heck will I ever do that. But as for the rest, I’m with ya!
Good job, Di.
I like the sushi one. Sushi ROCKS!!!
As for the others, I like the “baby-steps” approach.
The swearing resolution? Hmmm. I might have to borrow that one.
I failed to think of any resolutions in time. I was hoping I would accidentally happen upon one while reading someone else’s blog. Mission accomplished. 🙂 Thanks Di!
sounds good.
indeed, try sushi, but try it in cali. first…and never try it from costco.
I think your resolution approach is extremely healthy. Lots of little things. Mine will be similar. Char & I would love go with you & Andy to resolve Ten. We really like Blue Fish. Thanks for the invite to your blog world I am enjoying it already.
Love it! They definitely seem like realistic goals.
I’m with Annalisa… try sushi in cali first. And you have to go to a really GOOD restaurant!
Bravo! Sounds like a good year already!
