“Why Should I Follow that Beat Being that I’m Better Than Fine?”
Over the next 12 months, I hereby resolve to:
1. Eat plenty of fried egg sandwiches.
2. Watch plenty of movies.
3. Support the local economy by purchasing food and/or beverage items at the Leaf and Bean on a regular basis.
4. Get my money’s worth out of my YMCA membership.
5. Keep my house untidy.
6. Read every day.
7. Write every day.
8. Work very hard at the last minute to complete my writing assignments within 24 hours of deadline.
9. Let go of hate. It is the path to the dark side.
10. Update watat.com on a daily basis.

I resolve to:
1) communicate more with my husband
2) DDR every other night
3) spend more time with people I want to be better friends with and less time sleeping
4) keep my house tidy enough that if someone stops by I won't have a heart attack
5) keep my desk at work clean enough that it doesn't look like a hurricane hit
6) try and keep myself up to date with library programming
7)TRY to update my blogs more often
8) spend more time with my sisters
9)read more books to Jack
10)get an expresso maker/steamer so that I can make my own fancy drinks and have even more caffenine in my body so that I can drive co-workers and family EVEN MORE crazy

I love fried egg sandwichs... especially when my dad-in-law makes them. YUM-ME!

Fried egg sandwiches? Check.
Movies? Check.
Leaf and Bean? They were closed, wasn't my fault.
YMCA? They were closed, wasn't my fault.
Untidy house? Check.
Read? Check.
Write? Check.
Working very hard at the last minute to complete my writing assignments within 24 hours of deadline? Am procrastinating even now.
Letting go of hate? Check.
Updating watat.com on a daily basis? DUH.
Yay, me!

I resolve to:
1. Spend more time playing & reading with my boys
2. Not go back to work before March 6th
2. Enjoy every day I do not have to work and a few days that I do
3. Not bring work home with me after March 6th
4. Exercise more
5. Eat healthier food
6. Let go of some of my control issues
7. Learn patience, but not tell my mother
8. Let go of most grudges, remembering does not mean I have held on to it it just means I have recall
9. Spend more time at the Leaf & Bean
10. Keep in touch with the people I like

All those things are things you already do!!!! I suspect you're cheating on this whole New Years resolution concept. BUT, (Dr. Rich would fall over seeing my use of but)you should be commended on your resolution to let go of hate. Nasty stuff, that hate! Bravo!
My resolution is to start recording my withdrawals in my check book again. Scary thought.

Well, Tracy isn't the first one to point out that my New Year's resolutions are all things I do anyway. I think 2006 will be a year of recognizing those things I already do well and easing up on myself a little about the things I don't do as well.
I like that Tonderdo wants to learn patience but not tell her mother. That's brilliant.

If you haven't seen Spanglish, give it a couple of hours...not a great movie, but a must see for fried egg sandwhich aficianados...really. I resolve to finish more stuff (more reading, more beading AND a certain short story)
