Happy New Year everyone!

>Anyone have any good resolutions?
 
 I don't think this is exactly what you mean, but I have a list
 of "Resolutions I'm Not Going To Make This Year".  You know,
 the kind you don't make because you know that you don't have a
 snowball's chance in hell of ever keepin' them.  Well here it
 goes:


			New Year's Resolutions(NOT!)

	1.  Lose those ten pounds I gained over the holidays.
	    [And why should I? They're perfectly happy on my
	    hips, thighs, and butt thank you:-)

	2.  Reduce my chocolate intake.
	    [ As long as Godiva's is in business, this just
	    ain't gonna happen:-)]

	3.  Go to the gym/spa on a regular basis.
	    [ Finding a parking space, squeezing into those
	    butt flossing workout togs, seeing my figure flaws
	    multiplied many times over in those mirrored work
	    out rooms.......Nope, just ain't worth the
	    aggravation:-)]

	4.  Learn to cook the old-fashioned way(with an oven).
	    [Although I can nuke with the best of 'em, I just never
	    quite got the hang of real cooking.  Also, my relatives
	    and friends have long since forgiven me for this short
	    coming.  Besides, when they come over I love to hear the
	    comments about how clean the kitchen is and how all my
	    appliances and cooking utensils are so clean that they
	    look like new(that's because they've never been used so
	    they Are still new:-)]

	5.  Spend less money on clothes.
	    [I only buy clothes when they're on sale therefore I'm really 
	    saving money so there's really no need to reduce the amount of
	    money that I spend.  Is it my fault that on every day, of
	    every week, of every month of every year that some store 
	    somewhere is having a sale?  {Homey D. Clown voice on} "I
	    don't think so" {HDC voice off}].

	6.  Go to a good hair salon and get one of those new, cute,
	    short "dos".
	    [It's been a bad hair year.  Sometimes I can coax it into
	    looking decent(if I bribe it with the promise of a deep
	    conditioner or a hot oil treatment) but most of the time
	    it's just "there".  I like the look of the short
	    hairstyles but I've just got to face reality... I don't
	    have the right head shape to carry off one of those cuts.
	    Hmmm..maybe I should go for broke and give the AMC hair
	    stylists a shot?:-)]
	
	7.  Get some plants to brighten up the apartment.
	    [Somehow I 've managed to kill every plant I've ever had,
	    even a cactus(yes folks, you read correctly, a cactus).
	    I'll just have to live with that knowledge that I don't 
	    have a green thumb.  SCENE - Interior shot of my apartment,
	    poor forlorn brown plant in one corner of the living
	    room.  Friend{patting me sympathetically on the shoulder}:
	    "It's dead Sandra".  Me{weeping, wringing my hands, with a
	    crazed look in my eye}:  "What do you expect?  I'm a
	    programmer, not a gardener.....Stop me before I kill
	    again AIEEEEEEEEEEE......"].
