2006 Resolutions
→ I will quit smoking. (Yes, again, but this time I’m doing it.)
→ I will stop drinking beer. (I will at least stop drinking so much beer and limit it to special occasions.)
→ I will luv-up my honey more often. (WTF not? I’m gonna have way more time when I won’t be smoking and drinking and eating.)
→ I’m gonna get a job. (I know that one’s a little out of my control, but I’m gonna do my damndest to redo my resume in 80 different formats so it’ll be dumbed down enough for whichever job I apply to.)
I said I’d post these, so I will. Stop bugging me! I’m doing it, aren’t I? Mom! They’re bugging me!
Before I get into the resolutions, let’s just start with a recap of the fact that 2005 was a really pissy year. I was working with assholes until May when the job ended, and I haven’t really been working since, except for a temp job here and there.
Money’s been very tight (especially for my snookey who’s paying everything) and yet I’m still not out of my “I make good money and this doesn’t cost too much” phase, and I have a tendency to still shop – although I have reined it in somewhat, luckily for us.
While not working for 8 months of the year, I’ve gained 17 pounds. 17 pounds!!! Count ‘em. I gave away lots of clothes that no longer fit, including 10 pairs of pants, to Value Village along with some other stuff. Luckily the 17 pounds is not really really noticeable on me *ya, right* (I’m big boned), and most everything else still fits me – and when I say “fits”, I don’t mean fits tightly, cuz I can’t stand that feel or look, and I would have thrown away those clothes too. I still wear the same sized clothing with all this weight gain, it’s just not falling off me like it used to be, and I look like I should do something.
So the good points to 2005? My daughter and son are healthy and somewhat well rounded. My honey is still the most amazing, loving man I have ever known, and, surprisingly, I really believe that he does love me as much as I love him (and thinks I’m beautiful, so who could want more than that?).
I think that about sums it all up. I don’t normally make resolutions, so I’ve got a tough time ahead. But I’ve got confidence, strength and willpower going for me. So I’ll keep you abreast of how things are succeeding. It’s not like I’ve got anything more interesting to write about.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
