Just like Thirty-something, I made those resolutions to lose weight…keep up with laundry…save money. I’d spend all of January meticulously eating rabbit food and working out at the buttcrack of dawn, doing load upon load of laundry, watching every penny I spend. Then mid-February rolls around, and I’m eating McDonald’s on my piles of laundry with $3 in the bank. As soon as I attach the word “resolution” to something, just like Thirty pointed out, it fails. It must be magic. Hmm…so maybe this year I should resolve to gain about 30 lbs., drown in laundry, and spend every penny I own. No, or maybe this year I’ll just make anti-resolutions: “Anti-Resolutions are the little things that make life worth living. Take a moment to stop and look around … there are amazing things happening daily that we don’t even notice anymore because everyday life weighs us down.”
In no particular order…
1. Laughing with my sweetie-peetie husband.
2. Snuggling on the couch in a down blanket with my puppy-butts.
3. Taking my darling puppy-butts to the park and watching them sniff everything.
4. A pair of super-warm socks when our house is freezing.
5. Lindt chocolates, hot chocolate with whipped cream, or really any chocolate.
6. Starbucks peppermint mochas on Monday mornings.
7. Snow days…laying in bed under the covers watching it snow.
8. Beginning a really good book…and re-reading it after it’s finished.
9. Finding that pair of jeans that fits just right.
10. Making dinner–a real dinner where I have to cut up veggies and everything–and watching Shoo enjoy it.
11. Kids who really want to learn, or those who maybe don’t want to learn so much, but try anyway.
12. Family, including my new family, get togethers.
