New Years Resolutions
I resolve to make no resolutions…
Why set myself up for failure by making resoltuions I will not keep? Of course, if you must make resolutions, you can make it fun by having your spouse make them as well, then tally up at the end of the year to see who didn’t keep the most of them. The loser has to buy the New Year’s Eve beer and wine.
ANYONE IN A LEADERSHIP POSITION RESOLVING TO LOSE A POUND OR TWO?

Like RP, I resolve not to resolve. It works very well for me. I suffer enough failure and humiliation without setting myself up for more.
My New Year’s resolution is to be myself for the next year. After all, if I try to be anything else, it is an obvious step down, and anyway, this is the only resolution I know how to keep.
By the way, Cat, the last truly portly President was Taft.
I resolve to not violently attack any customers for the whole year. We’ll see if I can stick to it!
Customer service in retail drives me to drink.
I will try to give up smoking (again).........My health insurance requires me to attend a smoking cessation class to maintain the highest level of insurance - did it last year & it didn’t work............Must go through the class again - one hour per week for 6 weeks will allow me to keep the Insurance in force - checked with Human Resources last week & only 2
people have signed up for the course - they need 6 people to run the course...........My health insurance runs a smoking cessation course online - may have to do it online if not enough sign up for the in hospital course..................Posted by Dottie

I will publish my New Year’s Resolution on Sunday. Stay tuned.
I the TWERP-aka Barb M. resolve in 2006 to:
Get a tatoo(next week I’m getting a small red/white/blue frog right above my right ankle)
Read the Bible cover to cover
Learn to drive(like THAT’ll happen)
Do more volunteer work
Be a nicer person(I’ve been somewhat prickly as of late)
Be a better wife, mother, and all round human being
finally get to work on my first Jazz vocal Cd
Put God before Barb
learn to better argue /debate with those on the left rather than just hurl names.
Read more.
Stop sweating the small things.

To paraphrase Archie (of Betty & Veronica fame) “Always be yourself. Unless you’re an asshole. Then—be someone else. This ties in with my New Year’s Resolution.
Barb: you’re perfect the way you are. But do get a tattoo like my fave USMC one: a kitten --with the inscription, “A little pussy never hurt anyone”.
Take a professional drivers course, Barb. NOT a husband-taught one.
Dottie: (another of “les parfaits") (that’s an Albigensian compliment) Do you truly want to quit smoking?
P.S. Welcome to all the FNGs—Fantastic New Guys.

OCM: True re: Healthcare and Smoking. You must want to quit—really want to, not sorta wish it would go away. It’s like running a Marathon or Boot Camp—once you start imagining failure you’re screwed.
I was a member of a hospital based home care program; one month we averaged a death per day. That’s when I got clinically depressed.

Hey Barb-
I’m working days now, so if you want, you could practice driving with me.
