New Year Resolutions: More and Less

by Eve on January 10, 2011

It’s January 10.

I’m just now getting around to my resolutions. What? Don’t judge me. You think you’re better than me just because you posted  your “resolutions” post weeks ago??? Fine. You’re right. You’re better than me. But I have excuses!!!

I’m busy.

I’m a mom.

I work.

I do stuff.

I watch t.v. and sit on the couch.

Oops, scratch that last part….I meant to say, I watch t.v. and analyze it’s commercials, which are no-doubt corrupting our children and look to find ways to improve society.

There. That’s better.

Anyhoo, I’m vowing, I mean resolving. More and less. No, not more OR less. I’m resolving to do more AND less.

Keep reading I promise I’ll make sense somewhere. OK, so I don’t promise. Just read.

I resolve to do MORE of this:

Take photos (more than the 10,000 I already have of Handsome)
Blog (I’m already doing this so woo to tha hoo!!)
Exercise (this, not so much, but I’ve thought a lot about it, so that MUST count!)
Read
Give (time, love, effort, ect.)
DVR (only educational stuff, I swear!!)
Tweet (and better)

And do LESS of this:

Stress over things beyond my control
Spend money (it’s worth a shot, right?)
Keep crap I don’t need
Watch my site stats daily
Focus on how many followers I have
Cry over low comments on my posts
Plan (spontaneity here I come!)

All of these sound do-able right? I think so. I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

Until then…Happy 2011, peeps!!

Hugs,

HAHH You crack me up Edogg! I love this list!! Inspired me to do one of my own. I was thinking of starting with an achievable goal…such as making a resolution list IS my resolution, so in essence just completing the list of resolutions would make me successful at my resolution?! Hmm… I know I know, I am mayor of slackerville big time!! = )

OK that was confusing…

I meant…

…in essence just WRITING my list of resolutions would make me successful at my resolution!

(One of my resolutions should be to stop re-reading everything I post or e-mail b/c I will inevitably find something wrong w/ it LOL!)

I had planned to forgo the whole resolution thing and instead pick my “word of the year” (as suggested by Leanne http://fromchaoscomeshappiness.blogspot.com/2010/12/word-of-year-2011-edition.html.) I think it’s a great idea. did I pick my word? no. but i still think it’s a great idea.
:-D

Happy New Year and I love your little DJ
