Unofficial New Year’s Resolutions

Late to the party?    I don’t like making New Year’s Resolutions because they’re so hard to keep!  And I especially don’t like telling people about them because then I’m held accountable.  Still, I have had a few New Year’s Resolutions in the back of my mind for the past month and thought to share them.  I could use a little accountability.  An accountabilibuddy, if you will.  Be my accountabilibuddies?

Write More    I wanted to be more prolific on my blog and with other projects and so far, so good.  I am trying to blog every day, and the more I do it, the easier it is!  I’m having more ideas and thinking more creatively on the whole.  It reminds me of my college class where we were required to keep a journal and write three times a week.  I wrote every day, pages and pages, and it was so amazing how easy it was!  I’ve always loved to write, but writing more makes me love it more and I feel very proud!

Stop Eating Standing Up    Since I’m in a hurry most of the time, many of my meals are gobbled up while fixing lunch for work, making coffee, or putting on multiple layers of clothing.  I feel like this is bad.  I feel like eating standing up is not good for me?  Maybe this is psychosomatic.  But I’d much rather sit at a table or, at the very least, on the couch to enjoy my meals before I have to be on my feet all day.  And yet, I am failing miserably at making the time to sit down and eat.  Help me, accountabilibuddies!  Do you eat standing up all the time?  I can’t be the only harried fool who rushes around to get ready in the morning and ends up burping up breakfast all day as a result! 

Stop Wearing Boring Underwear    It’s overshare o’clock!  But yes.  My underwear is (usually) very boring.  I look at my roommate’s pretty things and feel pangs of envy.  Even if I’m the only one appreciating it, I feel happier when I’m all fancy underpants-y.  To aid in this goal, I buy pretty things when they’re on sale and try to incorporate them into my wardrobe.  Sure, it’s not always practical to wear lace-trimmed mesh boyshorts on a nine-hour shift.  But I’m working towards the goal, slowly but surely!
