What are you resolving in '09?

[A Desert Rose]

I'm into ritual and disappointment, which explains two things: why I'm a submissive and why I make New Year's resolutions.

Last year, I made a resolution to clean my garage as soon as it was warm enough to work out there. But then it got too hot. And then too cold again.

Today, the garage looks worse than last New Year's eve.

On the other hand, I made a resolution to spend my money traveling and that is one thing I did do.

I also like to make predictions about the coming year. I predict that it will be too cold to clean my garage until April, but in April I'll be too busy with my dog and cat care and writing letters to Spam (the meat folks) regarding multi uses of the unusual cannned meat-food, to get out there which will mean a postponement until September because summer is too hot to be out there, unless I'm naked. But in September I'll be way too tied up (in my dreams) with fall and winter television shows and a stack of Spam recipes to try out, to trudge trash out of the car house and make space to actually house a car.

And anyway, it's scary out in my garage.

So, now it's time to do this routine all over again. I'm thinking on what resolutions I'm going to make for '09. And preparing to toast the disappointing failured resolutions of '08. When I come up with some good resolutions that don't include unusual meat-food (unless it's attached to a man in the shape and form of a penis), I'll come back with a list that I can actually go back and read next year to disappoint myself.

How about you?

To lose weight.

Sir has set me a target to lose 14 lbs by the end of February, and damnit I'm going to keep going afterwards.

I've been very stressed out lately, and I've been kicking myself for not being better about my health.
-Pretty cliche, but I think I'm ready to start actually getting healthy and being consistent about it.
For me, it has to be one of those things that I'm emotionally prepared for especially as it pertains to food.

I kicked smoking last year. Unfortunately it took knowing someone who was thought to have lung cancer, but it's one of my accomplishments, so I'll take it regardless of how I got there.

This year it's battling stress other ways than with food.

-Found out someone is suffering from early onset Alzheimers with the suggestion from the MD that it has something to do with preservatives in food as well as being linked to diabetes -in addition to genetics.

Good enough reason for me. A little fear goes a long way to keeping me in line!

So this past week I've reset my grocery budget, and I'm doing as much organic as I possibly can - not just for my child, but for me as well. (I've always given her organic, but eaten crap myself - think lots and lots of diet coke)

Maybe I'll try some more meditation as well.

Hmm...

I don't make new years resolutions, so I thought I'd share the goals I'm working towards.

* To cut all processed flours and sugars our of me and my families diet

* To cut red meat out of my families diet

* To walk to all my classes

* To save enough money while K's gone to be able to put a down payment on a house when he gets back, and take the kids to Disney Land

* To get in the habit of eating breakfast and taking my meds every day

* To bring up A's spelling grade and E's math grade

* To get good enough grades to join the national honor's society

Every year I make the resolution to eat better. I don't want to go on a diet, or cut foods I love out of my diet, but I want to eat more whole grains, less fat, less sugar, more vegetables, more lean meats, etc. Its pretty difficult to eat well while at school, but every year I think I get a little better.

 

[Windflower]

I've never had any success with New Year resolutions, so I skip the ritual entirely.
Lately I have been working at maintaining more control of (and expressing) any negative emotion without lashing out at those around me.

I'm going to cook more. Healthy foods. Make all my scheduled lifting days and at the very least walk or bike four times a week. Probably just walk for two or three weeks to build up some stamina. Then get on a machine or do a 20 mile bike ride.

And fuck someone up the ass! My only attempt this year failed.

 

[ecstaticsub]

I resolve to make it to 2010 still with my sanity, humor and happy marriage.

2009 will be a year of major changes for our family--retirement from the military, moving once again but this time to a place where we will finally be for a long time, a place to settle down. I will be the major wage earner for the first time in 13 years (very scary for me). Hubby will be a stay-at-home Dad for a while as he adjusts to civilian life and gets a handle on his PTSD. Then of course the kids have to start over at a new school, new home and the shifting roles of their parents.

Not to mention still giving my D/s relationship the attention, love and devotion that it needs to survive.

By this time next year I want to look back and think "wow, we did it"

 

[BiBunny]

Mine is just to get my life put back together. I mean, I'm not falling apart or anything, but I could stand to improve some things. I think it's time to make the leap from college student to having a real life.

Do you know where Lynard Skynard got their name?

Leonard Skynard was Robie van Zante's high school science teacher.

I read it in Rolling Stone... it has to be true.

 

[A Desert Rose]

And for more useless trivia: Steely Dan is the name of a dildo from a novel... google it, I forget which book.

 

[WriterDom]

Leonard Skinnerd was his name. They didn't like him because he enforced the long hair rule.

I resolve to never try and be smarter than you in the next year.

 

[WriterDom]

I'm only as smart as Wikipedia. Got some wine at Walmart for $2.97. It's probably undrinkable but couldn't resist trying it.

You're a secret impulse shopper.

I wooda never guessed that about you, Wilbur.

My sister said something about it at Christmas. I'm not a big wine drinker. It makes me horny.

 

[the captians wench]

As I mentioned on my ramblings thread, this is the first year that I haven't spent a great deal of time thinking about what I want to accomplish next year.

2008 was a really good year for me. I lost a good deal of weight (another size or two and I can start shoping in the cool stores again!), got my bills caught up, bought a new car (my first bank financed car loan even!) and I made it to Ireland (that one has been on the list for 3 consecutive years)

In 2009 I want to make 2 trips to Ireland (sub kikilee gave me a jump start on that goal. ), continue to loose or at least not gain any weight (walking every day will help with this one), and I'm kinda thinking it's about time to work towards another promotion.

But all in all I'm fairly content with how things are now.

I've got no comeback for this, Walter...

except I (and a multitude of other readers here) know you don't need any help with the horny thing.

In fact, I'll go out on a limb here and say that most of the readers here are into the horny thing.

I want a duel resolve commitment from you.

You resolve to post 10 more times in the Isolated Blurt thread (which will put me in 8th place there) and I'm resolving to drop out of the top 10 on that list this year.

Is that a deal?

Did you notice I wrote "this year" and meant, next?

Well, you like posting there. Nothing wrong with that. Carry on with your bad self and resolve to post 1000 in there next year! ;-)

And You go Girl!

 

[A Desert Rose]

I think I can do that.

Then you will be my best friend forever... even if you don't like that.

;-)

 

[A Desert Rose]

Oh My God... I'm getting stupider and stupider.

It's not duel.... aaaaaahahahahah! Unless you want to go with pistols at 20 paces. No knife throwing for me.
