Inspired by GMx's new years resolution I decided that I'd start a thread dedicated to the blasted things...
Mine (so far) are as follows (ooo.. I get to use a list!):
- Lose at least 50 of these 250 lbs.
- Learn to play the guitar
- Go back to school
- Find a new job
I think that does it...I'd like to get started on my volkswagen this year too, but I don't even know if I'll be able to find a decent job yet...

I resolve to trying to let my folks let me have more freedom. I'm tired of them hounding me like a dog.
I also resolve to getting an extra-special someone since the last someone I was a girlfriend to turned out to be a really bad person to spend time with... ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
My papa says I'm pretty and there should be boys lined up behind my door. (This is the same man that said that if I ever brought home a boyfriend, he'd grab his ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) and see if he could whistle) I'd look outside to see if anyone is lined up behind my door, but there would be nothing but probably a blade of grass. (Inside joke)

- get something set in stone for my wedding by the end of January
- get a job doing massage therapy so I can quit this state desk job
- only read books I haven't read before
- cut down my sugar intake by half
- exercise regularly
I'm sure there are more things I want to do, but this is a (somewhat) realistic start. I'm not sure how well I'll do at the exercise thing. I'm reading Starship Troopers right now so there is all this kick-ass military stuff about boot camp and fighting the enemy, and it almost makes me want to join the marines. Then I start running and after about 2 minutes I realize why I failed the Army physical Dad made me take in high school. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Oh yeah, one more resolution.
- get accepted to The Boston Conservatory as a Musical Theater major

To stop smoking

To graduate
(although I like the Borg University catchphrase:
"Graduation is futile!")

- get more exercise
- get my focus back
- get into grad school
- climb at least as many peaks as I did in 2002 (i.e., >6)
- find someone special. The bitterness is poured out and the hard lessons learned. I'm ready to love again.
- stop biting my nails
- finish my antibiotics
- start taking vitamins again
I used to say I wouldn't bring anyone back from th dead and leave it at that, but 23 months ago today that became part of my job description. So I actually had to think about these.

Smokers have oral fixations, so my advice is red licorice sticks. Not too high in fat, and makes a good substitute. I let mine get stale so they're extra hard to chew-lasts longer that way.
Carrots work well, too.
Oops, too much information.

Hmmm.. only two this year. Should be fairly do-able. I suppose before I can win, I have to start playing it, which costs money... Hmmmm... alright, let me revise that list:
Much better.

Oops, just remembered another one: to stop believing that most people are fair, and if you treat them well, they will do the same. I guess that's kinda related to the first resolution in that it's the naive little dreamworld I live in.

Hope you didn't think my reply was meant to offend you, I was talking about a different dream world. I meant something like a hopeful world where everything turns out all right. Hmm, maybe you're right. I should stop living in a dream world. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
