I realize I've been neglecting the blog updating and for that, my lovely readers - all five of you - I do sincerely apologize. You know how it is with the holidays - December felt very rushed and after the new year celebration, which, ohmygod do I have stuff to write about that, I'm feeling like I want to relax a little. However, I do know I have a writer's responsibilities so tho this will be shorter than usual, I will do my duty.
Below is my list of this year's resolutions for myself. Um.. please note the varying levels of difficulty indicated by the amount of stars to the right of each..
For this new year of 2006 I resolve to:
***** talk less and listen more - keep your comments to yourselves here.
****** be less controlling - uh ditto as above regarding comments, thank you.
** be funnier.. I mean, who doesn't like funny, right? I'm a frickin crack up.
***** stop backseat driving - Brandon doesn't think this is possible. This sounded like a dare, so I'm going to show him. Um.. or try.. well dammit.. turn off the wipers when it's not raining in the garage, ok babe? Help me help you.
**** yell less at the stupid Seattle drivers who should realize we live where it rains 10 months out of the year, but for some reason they still can't drive in the rain anyway.
*** try harder not to get upset when you suggest a plan and someone says, 'Hey, that's a good plan, let's go with that,' and then confuse them cuz you suggested the plan to make them happy and they are happy about it.. maybe too happy.. and that confuses you for some unknown reason so you confuse them extra by getting upset that they liked your plan... then, after some thinking, you have to call them back and say what a freak you are now that you've realized the plan actually really is a good one and oh by the way, you're crazy, but if they could look past that small small quirk, you'd be greatly appreciative.. and um.. you're happy the plan is good. Yes. Period.
****** be less crazy.
oh and last but not least..
*********** stop biting my nails.. as in ew.. cuz if you knew what exactly was under your nails.. girrrrrrrrrl.. but um, this is so hard.. like 34 years worth of hard.. ugh. And don't suggest that nasty tasting nail polish.. dude, I had braces for 4 1/2 years.. I figured how to bite my nails with those on.. it's a desperate situation.
There. That's all I can think of at this time. I think that's plenty for a 12-month period.. don't you? I don't really believe in resolutions anyway, but I would like to do my part to try to be a better person in general so putting these in writing may help me along a little bit more cuz now they're out there for the world to see so I sorta have to follow thru. If I can accomplish these, it's a testament to my strength and determination.. and well, if I fail.. know that I had my fingers crossed the whole time anyway.. but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?
Happy (belated) new year everyone!

I figured out how to bite my real nails even when they're buried under acrylic nails, without doing any damage to the fake nails. It's tricky, but can be done. Good luck!
Here's how I stopped biting my nails, it may help you. Keep a nail file in every purse, at your desk, by the TV, in the kitchen the bedroom the bathroom. Hell go buy a 20 pack at the drugstore and leave them in random locations around the house in the car what not. Then everytime you snag a nail instead of biting it you file, and for every week that you don't bite you go get a manicure, so they look pretty and you would feel bad to waste all that manicure money. Try it, you might be broke but your nails won't. HAhahah (I'm corny)
*************figuring out if I can comment or not

Lisa - Wow.. under acrylic nails! That's more talent than I have.
T - yeah.. I need to do that. I have a file at home and work, but was just thinking I need them in the car (I keep clippers in my purse already and that helps) and everywhere else. Love the manicure idea.. I need to do that. Hm..
Bloggy - Oh say it.. like I could stop you. ;)
Reader #6 here. Those sound like worthy resolutions to me.
Ohmigod - I thought I was the only one who could massacre real nails under acrylics!! Hint: it involves nail clippers.
I was just messin' with ya. As I have none myself, I admire your goals greatly.
(Likin' the cute hat pic, but don't tell the boy, I don't wanna get hate mail or anything.)(I am however accepting monetary donations in the form of LARGE bills.)
Happy New Year! Now, with respect to your nails...either wear mittens OR keep your finger or your mouth permanently occupied. :)
