Another stolen idea

While I very much like Mrs. G's optimistic attitude, I am more taken with the relief offered by Mary's anti-resolution approach.

My Anti-Resolutions for 2008

1. I will not be a perfect wife, mother, daughter, friend, or employee.

2. I will not transform myself into a supermodel (or even a mediocre one).

3. I will not clean my house often enough.

4. I will not have a beautifully landscaped yard, clean gutters, or sparkling windows. (not even for Non-Con North, so brace yourselves)

5. I will not eat any health food unless it's really well disguised.

6. I will not manage my time better nor be any more efficient or energetic than I was in 2007.

7. I will not better my mind (or at least not in ivory-tower-approved ways).

8. I will not jump through other people's hoops.

9. I will not smile when I don't want to.

10. I will not always do the dutiful thing (see 1 through 9 above).
