Old Resolutions

I’ve been reviewing my Resolutions from last year, which were:

1. Gain 20 pounds.

2. Start smoking. Work my way up to a pack a day.
3. Stop walking; drive more.
4. Get off the treadmill and onto the couch more often.
5. Read fewer books; watch more reality t.v.
6. Watch porn.
7. Spend money frivolously
8. Spend more than I earn.
9. Embrace Cheney.
10. Kick the cat.

I’m afraid I’ve failed quite miserably in my attempt to reach these objectives, although I have made a few strides on No. 7. And anyone who knows me as Miss Frugal will appreciate that working on No. 7 is quite an intimidating task for me. For example, over Xmas, I took the train to Toronto and paid full fare for a First Class ticket. I’d never done that before, but I thought screw the proles, I’m not lining up, I’m going in a comfy seat, with a full hot meal, and free booze. It was worth it.

I’m nowhere near No. 8.

...did you get that complimentary chocolate? mmm...I love that first class train to Toronto. Time passes so quickly...and you're usually quite tipsy by the time you arrive.

your new yr's resolutions are a beacon of...of...of what? of something that I plan to build my 2008 around

as for res. #2: I'd advise you to shoot for at least a pack and a half a day and bravo for you if you do
