What are you resolving in '09?

[graceanne]

Did you notice I wrote "this year" and meant, next?

Well, you like posting there. Nothing wrong with that. Carry on with your bad self and resolve to post 1000 in there next year! ;-)

And You go Girl!

Actually, one of the things that's kinda a soft-resolution is that I want to post a little less on lit. It's one thing to be a post-whore when I'm home all day, and another when I'm also a full time student AND a full time soccer-mom.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

.... I'm not a big wine drinker. It makes me horny.

So you're saying that being made horny is a bad thing?

I want a dual resolve commitment from you.

You resolve to post 10 more times in the Isolated Blurt thread (which will put me in 8th place there) and I'm resolving to drop out of the top 10 on that list this year.

Is that a deal?

Sheesh! You badgered me into posting you out of #3 there (I think), and now I've moved up to #2. You're a bad influence (NFL Highlights film announcer on those last two words).

I don't think I'll ever get out of the top ten on that thread. lol

Since I'm #2 there, and you have almost twice as many posts in it as I do (1.92:1), I'd say that's a fairly safe assumption.


I need to get Minxie to post in there more and drop me out of the #2 spot.

 

[the captians wench]

Oh My God... I'm getting stupider and stupider.

It's not duel.... aaaaaahahahahah! Unless you want to go with pistols at 20 paces. No knife throwing for me.

but I like my thowers, and I so very rarely get a chance to use them

 

[Bandit58]

I need to try and get to the gym more than once a week There are one or two classes I'd like to try now that I've cancelled the personal trainer.

I also need to stress less, but we've had so many setbacks in the past with Sir's health that I worry when things seem to be going smoothly!

Yeah, that's pretty much my feelings on the matter.

So, kids are all out, dinner is in the works...thought I would make a quick post...

I don't make New Year's resolutions either. Since I almost always fail at them. But like Gracie I do have some goals.

First (but least important): a clean garage. ADR, maybe we should put this on our calendars and urge each other on. Like you, I always get distracted during that one week where it isn't too hot or too cold.

New goals for me include downsizing. Physically as well as mentally. I want each and every thing in my life to have significant meaning. This is really hard to do, by the way.

Less paper. I'm off work this week and going through the paper things I have amassed this year. Its out of control. I do not like filing shit.

My most momentous goal, though, is to be true to me. Something I have been very weak at for too many years.

I have omitted quitting smoking from my goals because I need smokes to get through my other goals. Quitting smoking is a goal for 2010 or 2011. Its a goal, anyway. I gave up smoking pot in 197x so I am sure I can give up cigarettes.

And I don't wish to lose weight. But I wish a genie would appear and banish that c-stuff. So I don't have to have sex in the dark. Oh, and I wish for the perfect exercise for perfect triceps.

That's all.

Happy New Year from the western US!

I'm resolving to worry and doubt less. Doubting less will ultimately get me spanked less but I like the spankings so I don't really know if I wanna doubt less I also resolve to get into less trouble with my mouth- only problem is that I'm Sicilian/Italian and most of the times when we get mad, we just don't think and stuff falls out...

 

[Homburg]

we just don't think and stuff falls out...

Or falls off, in this case, chairs.

I don't make new years resolutions. Never saw a point, and never really understood why other people do it. Why make a ritual of lying to yourself at the start of every year? Sure, if you are the sort of person that accomplishes your goals, great, but if you keep having the same goals on your list each year, you're lying to yourself. Examine your goals, reevaluate them, and make them more realistic.

Instead of "Lose weight", resolve to change your eating habits *moderately*. Something like "I resolve to drink more water each day"

Instead of "Be less stressed", resolve to get 15 minutes more sleep (they are connected).

Instead of "Quit Smoking", resolve to cut back to a more managable level and take a longer view (like Lilybart saying 2010 or 2011)

In short, lower your aim, set more achievable goals, and use the smaller success to create momentum so that you are better able to reach your larger goals.

That one week that you (and I) get distracted about cleaning the garage also happens to be that one week when it's .... GOLF WEATHER!!!

Am I right or am I right?

I guess you don't see the humor in my opening post.

 

[Lady_Midnight]

I'm going to pamper myself more and worry less.

You are absolutely correct.

So we need the reward thing here. We both spend say, 2 hours each day of that week working on our garages, then we go play golf.

Although 2 hours a day for a week might only get me halfway through the job.

My mom calls that 'diarrhea of the mouth'.

This makes sense because I've found that gradually changing my families diet has had better results than the times I just tried to change it all in one night. Instead of suddenly making everyone eat brown rice and whole wheat noodles, etc. I did one at a time and let everyone get used to that one. My next goal, diet wise, is to cut ALL processed sugar out of our diets. I can buy turbinado sugar bulk at Winco's. I also plan on making red meat just an occasional treat.

The whole thread is about you?!?

Right, I laugh at your initial post. It is teh funnay.

Ha. Haha. Ha.

I know the feeling. For years my garage was a walk-in junk drawer.

 

[PublicAffection]

Well hubby & my 2008 resolution was to quit smoking before our wedding & we did it We've now been smoke free for five months.

So in 2009 my resolution is to work off the 20lbs I gained while trying to quit smoking. I got a Wii Fit and a new walking-partner to help me in that goal.

 

[Homburg]

You know, the thing that is really amusing me is that myself, viv, and MIS are involved in cleaning out my garage right now.

I'm going to be cleaning out the garage this weekend. lol

 

[Primalex]

* Move into my own house
* A date with CM in Boston

 

[lilylicious]

My garage is a disaster zone also. I sense a trend here.

ADR I'm in Vegas too, so I get the whole too cold too hot excuse.

As far as my resolutions go, mine is to not settle for less than everything I deserve.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

qp - Are those resolutions, or dreams?

 

[Sir_Winston54]

I don't usually "do" resolutions for the New Year, but since I'm planning to move sometime this year, I'll try this one:

If I move to a house with a garage, I resolve to try to keep it clean and uncluttered enough that next New Year's, I won't have to resolve to clean it!

 

[Primalex]

qp - Are those resolutions, or dreams?

Predictions.

 

[VelvetDarkness]

I have a few resolutions for 2009, I'm making progress with them already, I just like to make a resolution and give myself a mental kick up the ass.

1. Never to cheat on my vegan diet again.
2. To be a more ethical consumer and endeavour to avoid supporting companies that are needlessly exploitative, either of people or of planet Earth.
3. To lose a stone (14lb) and get back to my preferred weight.
4. To do my fitness DVD at least once a week and to get to the end of it without dying on the floor and immobilising myself the next day by the end of Jan.
5. To be more helpful with Master and his desire to get in shape, cooking more healthily for him and not buying snacks.
6. To find a willing sub/switch lady for a 3some with us and successfully make it into the bedroom with her.
7. To be tidier around the house rather than ignore mess for days and then blitz everything.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

2. To be a more ethical consumer and endeavour to avoid supporting companies that are needlessly exploitative, either of people or of planet Earth.

I'm glad you put "needlessly" in there. Otherwise, you'd have to avoid supporting ANY company.

On a side note, I glanced at your AV and saw your custom title there sort of out of the corner of my eye and thought at first it said, "Panty Whore." Got all *kinds* of interesting mental pictures from that!
