New Year's Resolution - 2016

[Bookishleigh]

I'll be lucky not to stab my eyes out 2nd week of January

(Be more sarcastic...nailed it!)

My own mother posted the below picture on my FB page because it made her "think of me." So I say your goal of more sarcasm is a worthy one that I hope you attain. (No sarcasm....for now.)

More sarcasm is always appreciated.

People are way too highly strung not to constantly throw snarky jokes into a conversation

I don't typically do resolutions.. but I am determined to not let knuckleheads get close to me, be much more aware and picky about the caliber of women I date, to continue to dress nicer, and continue to grow as a person. I also wanna get better with my rope and my floggers.

I also had a teacher in high school once who told me people who hide behind sarcasm do so because they are really dim-witted.

I told her I didn't get it

And I have since graduated from high school, obtained my paralegal certification, and soon my bachelor's all with honors. I'm so dim, obviously.

Although, I did get married once....that was a dim-witted decision.

What's funny is I always thought the exact opposite. People who don't get/appreciate sarcasm are the people who don't think quickly enough to get the jokes.

It's a good feeling as you get older and realize teaches are just as full of shit as everyone else.

I did it twice. Now you can feel smarter by association, LOL

Like I tell everyone, if I start talking about that shit like I might do it again, you have FULL authority to smack some sense into me.

So add that to my list of resolutions:

4. NOT get married.

It will be on there every year.

If I ever even *think* about it, I want someone to lock me in a padded cell until I come to my senses. I shouldn't have done the second one as it is.

Here's to #4, add it to my list as well

Ugh, I only think of it in terms of "damn, I should have stayed married...I could use health insurance about now." But otherwise, marriage only brought me less sex (since he was apparently the girl in the relationship) and more housework.

So here is to both of us just not going there

 

[Bookishleigh]

And for the post I missed....um, point taken. Has been for QUITE some time. Thanks.

I don't know. I've been miserable in my marriage for longer than I care to admit. Even to myself. But I can't say I never should have done it. If I married ANYONE else, my boys wouldn't be exactly who they are. They'd be different. And I wouldn't change them for anything. The only real regret I have is staying as long as I did. So if you think about it that way, you can be a bit easier on yourself.

#5. Don't beat yourself up.

Oh, I knew walking down the aisle I was making a mistake. I'm just not the marrying type (had been engaged twice before - family "jokingly" called me Runaway Bride). But I am glad I have my kiddo - it probably would have been easier sometimes without that third child involved (aka the ex-husband). I've been a far better mom now that I only have to focus on the two of us and not tiptoe around him or live with the resentment he wasn't holding up his end of the bargain. I wanted more than just one child but because of his issues it didn't/couldn't happen and now at 40 it just feels too late to go that route again...not that I am even in a place for it.

And NOT that I ever WANT someone to get divorced, but I understand that regret of waiting so long - it's a scary leap to make.

LMAO - did you READ my resolutions? It's to basically be bitchier and have sex. Oh, and NOT get married. I am setting the bar pretty low....actually I think I left the bar in the closet. No point in getting it out

Hehe I did but I couldn't resist posting the meme. Just look at his face
How can you not laugh
I read everyone's

 

[The_end_man]

Stay out of my fat clothes. Thank god I don't necessarily have to be clothed

It's to basically be bitchier and have sex

I curious if one has an effect on the other.

Bitchy chicks are so much more fun that girls who just smile and say nice things.

Love this, LOL!

*resolves to be entirely more bitchy and not so nice anymore*

 

[derek2jack]

I sometimes have a tendency to make jokes about people sometimes that are not so nice. My New Year's Resolution is to be more thoughtful on my words and how they can be hurtful for others... Even in a joking matter.

 

[zydrate]

OH oh... I have a few..

1. Lose my credit cards less... it's a bitch replacing them....
2. Whine less about my coffee... I get it no matter what, but I like to whine until I do...
3. Have more 'me' time

Around here I might just make this a resolution
