Kinda surprised this hasn't come up! 2012 Resolutions?

Post by love_aud »

So what's your 2012 New Year's resolution?

Mine would have to be to read more the last year and to just enjoy being with my boyfriend as much as I can. (it's our first full year together :))

SO, what's yours?
Love Audrey, future photojournalist/writer :)

Save some money to go visit my kids in Utah this summer.

My New Year resolutions were of the Think Big variety so I had to toss half of them out the window due to lack of finances. However, I did make a solemn vow to have a decently different holiday and travel somewhere poles apart from my everyday existence, a place offering sleet, snow and permafrost.....to be advised.....

LOL - Actually I was thinking of Norway and if I may quote Douglas Adams:

Arthur Dent: The Earth!
Slartibartfast: Well, the Earth Mark II, in fact. We're making a copy from our original blueprints.
Arthur Dent: Are you telling me you originally made the Earth?
Slartibartfast: Oh, yes. Did you ever go to a place - I think it was called Norway?
Arthur Dent: No. No, I didn't.
Slartibartfast: Pity. That was one of mine. Won an award, you know. Lovely crinkly edges.

Lovely crinkly edges .... Norway most certainly has those ... no penguins though :lol:

Sadly, about the same as last year:
1. Quit smoking (I'm down to 3 a day)
2. Play guitar more and learn that damn chord change in Big Bad Handsome Man that shouldn't be difficult but it is. And learn to play a decent B7 chord.
3. Do not get any more pets. Probably. Unless they're really, really cute.
4. Let the Rooster live another year (so far, so good--he's had a lot of band practices).
How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.
