Thursday Thirteen #9

It's almost time to ring in the new year and I'm really thinking about making some changes this time. Here are my:

13 Potential New Year's Resolutions!

1. Fold laundry within 24 hours of washing, lest it become a giant pile of clean and dirty laundry in bedroom within days.
2. Return phone calls in a timely manner. 2 weeks is not timely.
3. Continue quest for significant babyweightloss so that my sad, banished tiny-clothes wardrobe can return to its home in my closet.
4. Minimize angry-hormonal symptoms of PMS for entire year of 2007 for benefit of husband.
5. Significantly reduce spending on purses, shoes, wine, and delicious filet mignon topped with bleu cheese.
6. Combine two rooms of boxes full of crap into one neat, organized room full of crap and maintain same organized system for more than one full month.
7. Plant more flowers and shrubbery, but this time continue to water said plants and shrubbery so that they might thrive and flourish rather than wither and die from malnutrition and have to be replaced with new, live flowers and shrubbery.
8. Minimize "language", rage and speed whilst driving. Replace outward anger with happy, sing-song voice and become accommodating and patient with other drivers, while becoming good wholesome role-model driver for tiny son. Will feel free to sing in high, operatic tone, "Serenity Now!" instead of said "language" if boiling point occurs.
9. Clean inside AND outside of vehicle regularly so that sap from pine tree won't collect on paint job to resemble very bad abstract art.
10. Refrain from making fun of mullets or other hair-do infractions, unfortunate outfit choices and accidents regarding tripping, falling, and unidentified objects in teeth, hair or ears.

11. Find positives in my own faults, large or small, become one with them, and move on.

12. Refrain from over analyzing situations and "manufacturing craziness". No, she did not have "tone" and was not acting "funny" because she doesn't like you. She does like you. She was drunk.

13. Be confident in my own skin, no matter how big, wrinkly, or saggy it is or becomes.
