NEW YEAR.... NEW LISTS
I've been working on a list of resolutions for the new year. First list was scrapped after I realized Angelina Jolie stole it (pilot a plane? help third worlds? be the hottest ever? Thanks for ruining it for all of us, AJ!) (PS: I didn't mean it that….. Call me?)
My second list was a slightly toned-down collection of ways to improve life, like improve grades and to lose 20 pounds.
My For Real List is below, which is basically various things I hope I don't do:
IN 2006, I RESOLVE TO -
Not gain more than two pounds…
Not stay mad at anyone for more than a day, or get angry over anything petty….UNLESS they deserve it…
Not go more than a day without hugging someone.
Not go more than a week without calling my Connor, Meghan, Chelce, Mel, Michelle…. Long distance peeps!
Not avoiding visiting the doctor because I am too fat, or afraid, or want to remain ignorant of a serious problem.
Not stay up until 4 and sleep in until noon……..more then once a month..
Not nag… to anyone.
Get dressed every day. No slumming around in sweat clothes. Do my makeup and blow-dry my hair.
Won’t wear a hat to school more then ONCE a week. All semester.
Give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Be supportive, and have an open house and an open heart.
Not GOSSIP……. hahaha
Procrastinate and drink loads of caffeine. In fact, do it even MORE.
Stop being so hard on myself.
Be more discriminating when it comes to movies and books. Go to the library as often as possible. Turn off the television during the day.
Call people back, and start calling just to say Hi instead of I HAD THE WORST DAY EVER AND NEED SOMEONE TO VENT TO.
Not hold grudges….
DO MY LAUNDRY. It's getting obscene.
Not everyone is going to love me. It's okay.
Be thankful. Smile. Hold doors open for strangers.
Go on more dates with Connor when he gets back to Regina.
A very happy, safe, memorable, loud, warm, delicious New Year to everyone reading this; to all my friends, family, and the odd random stranger. For all the resolutions, all I could ask for is to be where I am now in a year: Happy, (somewhat) healthy and loved.
so happy new year, friends.
thanks for being in 2005 with me.
hopefully we will live to see 2007!
Now everyone go drink. Heh.
