As 2005 winds to an end, I’m feeling the pressure to crank out some resolutions. But I’ve really got nothing. I have an annual List of Things I Will NOT Under Any Circumstances Resolve To Do, which includes quit drinking (what’s the point?) and eat better (there is nothing wrong with a diet of Starbucks coffee and Luna bars) and learn to cook (I’ve tried that, several times, and I still can only make three things, only one of which is consistently edible). Last year, I resolved to write more, which lead to this web site, so you should all thank me for that one. And honestly, I think that was the first New Year’s resolution I’ve ever made that has panned out. Go figure.
This year, so far, I have resolved to find a reliable babysitter, someone who can come regularly during the week AND on the weekend. If you live in my area and have any leads, let me know; experience and good moral character would be nice, but availability is really the only essential criteria. Wade and I have agreed to have a Date Night twice a month (as opposed to our current twice-a-year routine; see above about babysitter). And I have promised Jen that I will learn to IM. In the end, I have a list that is both completely do-able and godawful boring, which is probably not a coincidence. But I need a little spice, I think.
And so I will turn to the Internet. What do you all think I should do in 2006? What are you resolving to do? Let’s hear it–I’m up for pretty much anything.
Just don’t suggest I quit drinking.
