i resolve to not make resolutions
By heather | January 3, 2010
How can I resist posting resolutions? It’s that time of year! So many ways to improve!
I was thinking as I read everyone else’s resolutions that it would make more sense to break it down so that I only have a few things I do every month, almost like a to-do list. Otherwise, I’ll never remember, let alone do, any of these things.
On to January!
- Do hot yoga twice a week. In a pinch, I can substitute a video or watching a Yoga Today episode. Teaching my own class doesn’t count. I especially love hot yoga when it’s cold out so there are no excuses.
- Break down and store the baby swing. Last time we started to break down the baby swing and store it I found out I was pregnant so we’re a little gun-shy to start dismantling the thing again. Not that I’m pregnant, we just don’t want to trigger any karma.
- Move the box of photos up to the attic. Exactly a year ago, my parents arrived to celebrate the holidays with us by depositing 4 boxes of crap, also known as memorabilia, in the living room. I’ve made it through 3 of the boxes, which included my old cheerleading bloomers, a Color Me Badd cassette tape, and assorted drawings and cards from my childhood. The last box has been sitting here for A YEAR NOW and contains about a million photos that I need to go through and sort. Or I can just tape the box shut and move it to the attic. We’ll see what happens come 31 Jan.
- Regular blogging. If I can blog even twice a week that will be more in January than I did the entire summer.
That should keep me busy until February, you know combined with all the other stuff I have to do, like figure out my new MacBook and watch every episode of NCIS ever shown. But just so I don’t forget while I’m feeling all motivated and stuff, other potential tasks for upcoming months include:
- clean out the guest room closet
- figure out how to store an antique cradle
- spread the gospel of The Unhealthy Truth
- scrub the mildew off my bathroom faucets and find a new cleaning person
- figure out once and for all a grad school strategy and work on my MBA

I’m assuming the Color Me Badd tape has their single “I Wanna Sex You Up” because that’s the only one I remember them singing…
Where/When do you plan on doing hot yoga? Can I go too??

I like the idea of breaking it down month by month!

Yeah I totally passed on resolutions this year. I looked over last year’s resolutions and thought “Yeah I did pretty good on those, I’ll just do some more of that.”
See, I’m delegating my resources… it’s not laziness.
