New Year’s Resolutions I will keep
2012
I’m not big on New Year’s Resolutions. I make them occasionally, but I always feel like they just set me up for failure. And every year, when the gym explodes in January, I make fun of all those people’s resolutions that brought them there knowing full well that by the middle of February, I will have my gym back.
This year, I am going to make some resolutions that I know without a shadow of a doubt that I will keep.
1. Drink a Pepsi at least once a week.
2. Tell my children “No” repeatedly.
3. Blog.
4. Survive the dreaded winter until spring.
5. Make feeble attempts at housekeeping.
6. Take pictures.
7. Laugh.
8. Hang out with my sister because she makes me laugh. Or I make her laugh. Or we just laugh.
9. Wear shoes more often so the dirty floor is less noticeable. (Now THAT is a pinable tip, my friends.)
10. Play stupid games on my phone and ask my kids to play the same stupid games on their devices so I can make them gift me crap.
There! That wasn’t too hard. And I am almost 99% sure I can keep every one of those. It’s like instant success!

Sounds like very reachable goals. I’d take Coke over Pepsi though.

Love #10. As I can see myself doing that in the near future.

HAHAHAHAHA! Thank goodness for our hang out days. They definitely keep me sane. Everyone better be healthy tomorrow so we can come over or I may cry! Oh and number 10 made me laugh so hard. My kids aren’t that old yet, but I can totally see doing that too!

You have found the secret to resolutions.
But include a picture with your awesome tip. Pinterest deserves that kind of knowledge.
And that is a great picture of your kids. Love it. Ellen

I don’t make New Years resolutions. I resolve whenever I am capable of changing a flaw–this is why I am so awesome (haha) and completely flawed. I love your resolutions. They will be an inspiration to many!
one of the best lists I’ve read so far!

Happy New Year!

Great resolutions! And I feel exactly the same way about the gym. In fact, I’m thinking of doing a public service announcement post about it!
