Auld Lang Syne

The older I get, the more seriously I take making New Year's resolutions. They're like promises you make to yourself and if I fail to follow through with them by year's end I'm racked with guilt that I didn't meet goals I set for myself. By nature I have a guilty conscience, so I don't like setting myself up for failure.

I keep my resolutions simple and attainable. [I remember that I resolved to quit smoking for a couple of years, but my heart wasn't really into it. Smoking was one of my favorite hobbies - I didn't want to quit, so that was a piss-poor resolution to make. I quit when I was good 'n ready.]

Without further ado, here are my resolutions for 2007. To celebrate the fact that I'm committing these to memory by screaming them out to the entire blogosphere, tonight I will have my first sip of alky in more than ten months and will open this experimental-looking case of beer.

Happy New Year, folks!

Tiffany's 2007 Resolutions (in no particular order)

1 - To write out a freelance writing business plan and actually take steps to implement it.
2 - To make the laundry room less creepy and mucky and do something about the weird, super-grody camel cricket problem. *shudders*
3 - To cut down on Rice Krispies Treat consumption by at least 75%.
4 - To gradually reincorporate exercise into my weekday routine in efforts to banish the mommy gut, mommy butt, and mommy hips.
5 - To nag and bitch until Scott becomes sufficiently annoyed enough to do something about aforementioned camel cricket problem.
6 - To shave 20% off our grocery bills and cut back on heavily processed foods (see #3).
7 - To remember to talk to my son as if he's a human being rather than a super-cute puppy ("Who's my widdle widdly woo woo baby? Yes, you are! Yes, you are!")
8 - To find more time to check in with friends and family
