i resolve...

last year i mentioned that i prefer to make spring resolutions because i, generally, feel more productive when spring rolls around. but this year is different (at least for now) and i'm feeling the resolutions coming on. so hold on to your knickers folks; i'm writing these puppies down.


1. Keep my nails well manicured.
       this does not mean i'll be getting manis on a regular basis. it means i'll keep my nails shaped and cut and polished (clear polish is fine. no need to get crazy in these resolutions).

2. Clean my car, inside and out, once a week.
       this one is important as my car is a bit of a wreck and i'm tired of apologizing/excusing it everytime i drive someone else around in it. which leads me to...

3. Stop apologizing.
       i really am tired of this little trait of mine though i do come by it honestly. have you met my female relatives? deep down inside i figure if i need to apologize for it (messy car) then change it and if i don't (a culinary dish gone awry) then leave it alone. notice i said, "deep down inside" which means that i'm hoping to make this a not so deep down realization and actually put it into practice. crossing my fingers on this one.

4. Write thank you notes
        i like to get mail, don't you? i like to get hand written notes from people telling me how fabulous i am, don't you? i learned this from my RS president who would send me notes every time i taught and oh how i loved them. LOVED them. i decided that i would like to do this as well: mail out my adorations to one and all.

so, there you have it folks.

 my resolutions for 2011.

welcome dear year and may you be a damned sight better than the last.
actually, 2010 wasn't so bad.

xoxo
